is Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu Heatsink Fan can be used with abit nf7-s v2.0 mainboard?

any issue?

how's it performance in term of cooling and noise?

any comparable other heatsinks to this zalman stuff?

What about the Aero7+ That's what i'm using at the moment. 47C no load and 56-57C full load at max fan speed which is around 3600RPM.

I dunt think NF7-S v2.0 is compatible...

check out the compatability chart ---- >> CNPS7000A/B compatible Socket 462 Motherboard list



I think aero 7 and jet 7 is almost the same.....

Aero came out first then only JET.

yeah. i am also doubting the zalman heatsink coz there some big capacitors close to the socket.

i am considering to buy thermaltake volcano or polo which has standard retention clip.

I prefer them over the big typhoon because i always move my casing from a place to another place. I am afraid if the giant cooler can crush my cpu core while move the casing.

anybody using Tt Big Typhoon on their NF7? how is the result? still doubt if the big typhoon can fit into my iCute high tower or not....havent reli go measure the place. but the PSU is quite near the heatsink area...

I'm using jet 7 with MSi Mobo. 50c idle and 58 -60c full load with 4100 rpm.
but sometime my mobo aslo whistle to me to inform me that the temp are a bit high. i set the alarm at 66 c.

erm...

have u tried cleaning ur heatsink and fan, and reapplying new thermal paste ???

whats ur core voltage ???


i wud say polo or volcano is ok, i have used those before and i think the performace is ok, but fan is kinda noisy

as for the big typhoon, i dunt think it will crush ur cpu core, i think it comes with a copper shim, if it does not come with one, then u can get one...

i bought mine separately, and have been using it eversince..

wah zahri. Is is true, no problem to move the casing frequently? just get the copper shim with the Tt Big Typhoon?

by the way what the idle and load temp with the big typhoon?

can fit the Big Typhoon into normal ATX casing? I am afraid that the PSU will block the insertation of this giant cooler.

me too me too....doubt later bought ady can fit. anywan hav their big typhoon pic fitted on their mobo?

erm . . .

i think there is a misunderstanding here . .

What i meant was, if u are getting a big typhoon, and it doesnt come with a copper shim, then u can buy it separately

I am not using Big Typhoon, I have an SI-97 and DangerDEn TDX Waterblock.

i tried installing an SI-97 on a faulty proc before and it chipped the core a bit when i was installing the retention clip. So i used a copper shim on another proc (the real proc i was gonna used) and installed the si-97, although the heatsink moved a bit, the core was not crushed nor chipped.

so i think it will work for the big typhoon

GOOD LUCK

Try asking around for TT BIG TYPHOON USERS.

I am sure u can move ur casing around, maybe just dont bump it too much or shake it

All the BEST

hmm, thank for ur explanation. I've googled and seen the picture of copper shim.

that cool. I am sure it can protects the cpu core from being crushed or chipped. My question now, which shop sell this item? Is it still available?

Maybe I should go to Overclockers Paradise. I want to ask their staffs whether they got this copper shim.

How much it priced?

No Problem

Glad i cud help

I bought mine last time for RM 18.

If u want i can get one for u ( PM ME )


Maybe can go around shops and ask. i am sure they have those

can be the shim be too thick, then cpu core cant contact well with hsf? or the shim too thin, then no effect at all?

the shim i got was perfectly nice

not too thick not too thin . . . i guess there could only be 1 size.

from my point of view,

the shim is used to ensure that the heatsink is evenly placed on top of the core ( ensuring that the core touches the heatsink and not putting too much force on the core ) .

Good Luck.

ooo...ic....coz i search for some info at google and some side said like what i mentioned earlier. ur copper shim hav any brand? maybe i would like to get 1 same like ur's when i get another hsf.

mine 2.4ghz wif TR si-97,load oni at 47c at 1.85v

anyone wants SLK900U/947U?

seriously, i don't like noisy fans - just an 80mm silent type connected to a fan controller is what i use on my SLKs.

woohoo..just bought the si-97a...but weird i cant get the same temp like greactor la......load at 54c@1.7v@2.3ghz

emm maybe as5 need some time to settle down eh...i heard its close to 1 month???? not 200hour like what they say?????what say you?

me no need the as5 just ordinary thermal interface medium....wat about ur inner casing ventilation??btw, wat is ur casing temp??

casing is Gigabyte Triton with 2x12cm fan.
case temp around 28-32c...

fan is 92mm zalman 53cfm<<<<enuff ka?

is it bcoz the case temp??
