IC, so the best way is use directly from the PSU la.But that will prevent me from controlling the speed of the fan right?

connecting all the fans through fan controller is okay, no burden to any component as u have to connect a 4pin molex to the fan controller too, so same direct source power from the psu

no burden on mobo or vga, but the cons of using fan controller is that usually these controller limited to 4 connection only so i think u are limited to 1 cpu fan, 1 vga fan & 2 case fan, but i'm pretty sure u don't have to control those case fan, mostly ppl only control cpu & vga fan as case fan are already silent, unless u using those high performance DC type of fan

ya i know, mainly ASUS board, the most fan connector available in board (as far as i know)

i didn't connect any VGA Cooler Fan to the mobo, only CPU Fan & Case Fan, that also have to send to RMA many times, can't imagine if i add another VGA Fan on that mobo

cause of so many RMA & one of the RMA took around 2 month, so i decided to buy a new one, then keep the RMA board for backup purposes, till now haven't got the chance to use it, dunno if still working or not (if i could find another 939 Proc, then i have 2 rig )

*2 month = that time A8N-SLI Deluxe become obsolete coz the 32X SLI Version just got out

As long as the fans connected to mobo added up taken not more than 1 AMP. It's fine to get power from mobo.

definately.
think of it this way. if u are doing work, and some person comes up to u and ask u to do even more work, that would stress u out wont it?
same thing. the Motherboard is consuming power as it is to feed all the components on the board. by u putting another fan there, there is a tendency for the board to become unstable.

if u do connect it to the mobo, u can control the fan speed via the bios, of softwares such as Speedfan

Ok, i understand what you are saying.Does not want to run out of topic here...lol..

hey...was wondering which cooler would be suitable for Ati 9250? I'm using ASUS Ati Radeon 9250 SE.

my old thermal take blue orb giving weird sounds even after cleaning it.

Budget? I really dunno how much to set. RM100 - Rm150?

no need to buy powerfull cooler for ur 9250. maybe the best budget cooler is coolermaster cool-viva which will cost u below rm80??or u can try evercool turbo 2 which cost u rm85 at moderno's bulk thread....

thanks for the hook-up.
I'll check them out.
yea..like i said...just a basic cooler will do

hi.....i'm using winfast geforce px7600gt vga currently running on amd 64 x2 3600.
i am looking to buy a cooler for my vga but doesn't really know which one is suitable....
i hope to get from all the experts.....by the way, the budget is rm80-100....

please help

u can even try evercool VC-RF,below rm50 nia...that is most basic performance cooler for ur 9250...

agreed. in my opinion coolviva is absolutely enough to cool down a 9250.
and it cost u only around rm45.

Maybe the Zalman VF700 - ALCU?The led version is selling at RM105 in moderno's bulk but not sure how much the non-led version is selling(If there is someone selling, should be below RM100).That should be a very good cooler at an affordable price..

Or, if you want to overclock your 9250 kaw kaw, i suggest you get the Evercool Turbo 2

I manage to overclock my old 9550 from 250MHz more than the stock speed [i didn't remember the stock speed of my 9550 d] without any Vmod done.

Already sold it about two years ago.

Plus, the Evercool Turbo 2 is only RM85 which is much much better than the Evercool VC-RF

what do u think the performance if i swap my 6600gt agp stock cooler to evercool turbo 2??

I have to check the picture of your stock heatsink first.
If not, how do i know either the Turbo 2 will beat your stock heatsink kaw kaw or not?

Give me a picture of your stock heatsink first lor.

ahah...don't have the pic la..but just same like evercool vr-cf, but the led is just blue colour..very2 small la untill me myself didn't believe " is this thing can cool off my gc??"

Then if the stock heatsink is just like the size of Evercool VC-RF, i'm really really sure that the Evercool Turbo 2 can cool your 6600GT like crazy!

Go on, buy that, then overclock your 6600GT to the max!

haha..even with this stock cooler, manage to oc my gc from stock speed to 545/1120 without artifact...maybe can get higher after change the cooler..

anyway, thinking of modding the turbo 2, change the 80mm stock fan to dual delta 80mm maybe??but the sounds produced must be really high...
