haih....SI-97A.......i am still finding a 2nd hand wan...

i thought someone was selling the SI-97 in the Garage Sale....

for RM 85.

but i think its SOLd.

ya...i've seen it, but he hilang some off the thing ady wan.... no fan clip and etc...

Only 2c drop ? I think u can get higher difference with water, maybe u need to tweak ur wc setup to get higher differences which also depends on your wc setup. I myself get roughly 8-10c differences with water. For comparison, last time i was using TT Volcano 11+ with 46c idle temp and load temp at around 52c. Now i can get 42c load with my T-Bred B, and 2c lower with a Barton core proc with the same setup at the same speed 2.2Ghz @ 1.7V.

Bro,

the 2c drop is between the SI97 and Modded Bigwater non-se .

Maybe the temp a bit high because of the submerged pump

Well, i am trying my luck with a new set of watercooling kit.

Hopefully i will get better results

hi all,

i m using XP2000 with K7Ndelta. my processor always shoot up to 58 - 60 degree when i do full load 100% processor. but when idle only 43 degree (normal browsing only 46-47 degree)

my HSF is original from AMD
added artic silver II thermal paste (borrow from franz)
processor at normal speed (no overclock)
casing open both side

1) is it processor rosak edi?
2) should i put the CPU warning at 65 degree above?
3) buy better fan will help?

1) is it processor rosak edi?
Not rosak, maybe your ambient temp is high so it will lead to a higher load temp.
2) should i put the CPU warning at 65 degree above?
Maybe u should. Having at temperature that high would lead to a shorter lifespan for the proc.
3) buy better fan will help?
Hell yeah. Buy any full copper hsf with a good fan so that that combo would perform to the fullest. Thermalright SI97A or Thermaltake Big Typhoon or Coolermaster Aero 7+. You can get these from moderno at Bulk Sales.

Bro, ur temp is like my temp when i was on stock heatsink ... like now

Full load around 55-58 @ stock heatsink.

I dunt think ur processor rosak already.... if not sure ur pc cannot use rite now

If i were u , i wud put it at 65c , even mine is set at 65c

You should get a better fan and heatsink...

If u have the money and dont mind hassle's , can go for watercooling, if not just go for Copper / ALuminium heatsink , Thermalright SLK800A or Thermalright si-97 , Thermaltake Pipe 101 , thermaltake GOLF325 .... COOLERMASTER

GOOD LUCK

zhari, what is the fan u using now? full load still 55-58?

moderno sell super cheap there? hehe....

together with this is my i sliding door open tempreture, if both open temp will be lower.


Attached thumbnail(s)

its a 60mm Coolermaster Fan.....

i think its 60mm....

here is my results on ABIT EQ



owh... hehe... mine is open too rite now.. hehe.....


I would reccomend u get a Copper Heatsink.
There is a cheap and reliable one i would reccomend.
SLK800A from noobie.
Try Pming him

GOOD LUCK

how come urs 56? u oc it is it?
maybe i buy 1 chasis fan 1st... cos i saw u got chasis fan.

i changed from stock heatsink to cm xtream III...
temp maybe reduce 2C, but noise reduce alot!! the fan is running 2000rpm only... stock 6cm hsf runs at 4500++rpm...

max temp is 53C i think during heavy load...normal internet browsing is 46C... i dun care much bout temp, jz that the noise matters...

hehe....

Oc erm... dunt thnk so... 2200+ running at 1.8 ghz

FSB 200 x 9

Chassis Fan i got 3 chassis fan blowing in

3 blowing out




Smokey,

u got that 53c temp from OCing ur 1700+ @ 2 ghz or at stock 1700+ speed ?

No need new SI97 wan lah.. a rm80 new TT Silent Boost + additional cooler master 8cm fan can cool my 2.2ghz / 1.9v at 58c.

58c on FULL Load ?

erm.. quite high....

Is that on Ttake GOLF325 + SILENT CAT ?

58c i think is still quite of high...

i get 53C max at 2GHz... using default voltage only...

erm.... 53c at 2ghz is not bad...

i am at 56-58c @ 1.8 ghz @ 1.7v it hink.. ( stock heatsink )

So hot ar all all the procs, i think better get a decent cooling before anything happened. 10c drop can make the procs have twice longer lifespan.

yalor...mine wan very hot very playing games/full load.... at 65c....using stock hsf. coz now still finding for a 2nd hand SI-97A...

btw....now mostly the new intel's proc like pentium d at normal idle temp already near 70c....
