i'm planning to buy pentium D 2.66ghz. and i heard that the heat this proc creates is hot hot hot so i'm planning to get a good cooler for it.. or a heatsink..
my budget is below 200.. izit enought to get a good one? i dono much about it.

thx this advance

Your budget are decent for a good air cooler.Bellow is the s775 air-cooler roundup made by Madshrimps.de:

Scythe Mine sounds promising.

does any1 knows whether sctyhe ninja can support dual core or not? im not so confident with scythe mine

If u r not confident with Scythe Mine, go water cooling. Increase your budget as well.

wat i mean is tat im more confident in scythe ninja compared to scythe mine...

nope ..no wc coz i had a bad xp wit wc edi...

some people say ninja performs better.
others say mine is better

no one knows unless u try it urself

I have a pentium D 830 and the heat is crazy. Worse thing is that I use the PC as media centre in the living room, so stock fan was very noisy.

Initially I went for Thermaltake Golden Orb II (RM130):
Noise: Very quiet
Fan Speed: 1800RPM
Cooling result: Idle: 45C, Load (both core) : above 75C (Failed)

Therefore I think the Orbs not suitable for dual-core. Expensive lesson there...


Second Try:
Zalman CNPS9500 LED (RM240)
Noise: Quiet (Can adjust)
Fan Speed: 1300 - 2600RPM (I use 2600 when gaming, 1300 otherwise)
Coolin Result:
(with AIR CON) Idle: 36C Load (both cores) 62C
(no AC) Idle: 43C Load (both cores) 70C

Finally this solution gave me "fairly" adequate cooling while mantain low noise.

suggest you the BIG typhoon. never regret. 1300 rpm only but the performance super.

compared to the zalman CNPS 9500, it does not perform as good.
so i wud say the zalman is a better choice.

dude seriously, u have the money, go for a watercooling setup.
its worth every cent u put into it.

Would a Thermalright XP-120 with the LGA775 RM bracket to make it compatible with Pentium D CPUs be good enough? I'm just giving a guess since this is a good cooler.

sigh here no pentium D kaki, i so alone lah my pc also run really hot esp. encoding video...

using TR si 120. temp is ok .. Idle: 38C, Load (both core) : 52C

Ya the 930 thermal rating 95W, 830 is 130W. I think I bought a crap CPU lah... thats why the load on both core is so hot... anyways I hear that Intel will slash prices next month some more, maybe ditch the 830 and get myself a 930 which would cost maybe RM500? heheh

i also need 2 change my HSF..else my pentiumD 805 cant overclock..push to 3ghz temp oledi reach 47C idle

dude...how come ur temp so high? mine @ stock heatsink @ 3.5GHz oni 38C... now changed to ninja edi n able to get 30C @ 3.6GHz...

Full load?

fulload with stock hs 52C...@3.5GHz

Try thermalright xp-90c

Mine motherboard heat prob.... Using Pentium D 805. Motherboard at 53C and cpu 46C Idle mode

If board temp is higher than CPU looks like you got no airflow in your casing, are your case fans functioning? IF 2 fans are they at 1 intake 1 exhaust. Refer to link for airflow

http://www.heatsink-guide.com/case.shtml

Also, is the left side of your case pushed against the wall and the side grill got blocked?

I have 2 fans, 1 intake and 1 exhaust. My pc is quite near to the wall, about 1m... BTW, I OC it...

tt.silent water ............hsf price.............watercool perfomance..................

D930--4.1G 27C +- LOAD= 33-35C ONLY.......

1.42V.....


COOL KAH? WTS THIS .................

quite ok la.. mine using pd 805 .. pwm around 43-45c and cpu 40c idle . stuff in CM C5.

wow .. thats hot .. my friend on pd 805 n the temp was insane .. pwm 71+ / mobo 53 + / cpu 48+ n the temps r not in full load mode .. i wonder wether the temp sensor gone mad or thats the temp ..

how`s ur pd 930`s temp?

dunno..mayb my room hot gua..no ceiling fan..oni stand fan..blow myself also not enuf..pc no need 2 say la..room air flow not so good

if i open side panel,can get 42C

try arctic Freezer 7 reviews are pretty good.

i use artice freezer 4 before..not so good ler..drop a few C oni

if wanna compare performance n silent,big typhoon or scythe ninja better?

n gigabyte cooler good o not huh?

for freezer 4, it is due to the fan is small with low RPM, the good thing is very quite. last time i saw elhh lelong the excess ninja plus for rm170 incl. gdex, not sure still availble boh...

my conclution is PD very hot! haha...

better than preshot la

mine's Pentium D 820 @ 50°C Full Load Around 6+°C i think, my room have high ceiling with wide windows but only using stand fan & the case only have exhaust no intake, temps like hell when playing games....

U're using stock heatsink?
My pentium D 820 also like that liao...

Ahh, forgot to ask...
What type of motherboard are u using for you're Pentium D 820?

I'm using my pentium D 820 with Intel Desktop Board D945GTP...

scythe mine is a good heat sink ....however i currently change from amd to intel and i face problem install the scythe mine due to the fin blocking me and take me around 30 min to install the heat sink.....so i might suggest to get something that easy to install and good performance..

My 830 idle 50-55, load 70-75 with blue orb 2. Using 945plrn

Sorry for my noob... I wanna ask, how to full load the processor? I am not very understand it. Idle I know, that is no activity right?

Use Prime95 to make you processor go full load.

http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm

my rig is currently the almost stock Acer Aspire with SiS661FX MOBO...

if i add some more fans then the temp can drop...

but there's one thing i've been wanting to know...my case have a side fan slot, the fan is set to exhaust or intake?

hi...
my pentium d 930 temp is

idle (from easytune 5) = ~20
load = ??? how to check

edit: double post-r

Err...
How in the world did you get that kind of temperature?

20celcius?
What kind of heatsink are u using now and tell us you're motherboard model too...

here is a screenie


using a gigabyte 8n sli
a pentium d 930
a gigabyte g-power hsf

wah lau eh ..ah sai ..20c onli meh..imposible lei....pls use other software to check and see...mine sycthe mine also 38c at idle liao...tak kan giga power so hiong meh..

nah, should be a bug
i dont believe it

try with another software temp reading perhaps

what to use??

^how bout CoreTemp or Intel® TAT

Paiseh...
I've seen this before...

Someone who uses Pentium D 930 running at 3.8GHz with temperature at 16celcius...

This can't be true...

There's no way a heatsink can cool a processor into a temperature that's cooler than the case temp...

There is no use to check the temperature with any other software as it'll only say the same temperature that has been reported by the motherboard sensor chip...

The best way to check the real temperature is to use other temperature sensing device...

The one that has the thermal diode to be placed near near the processor heatspreader...

Such as using Aerocool Gatewatch...

lol..use termometer la

laser thermometer also can aa??

aiseh
so there is no way to check the temperature laa...easily??

Laser thermometer also can...

It's better way to sense the right temperature rather than relying on the sensor chip on the motherboard...

but probably MBM or intel TAT can report..maybe is software bug problem ..who knows...

mbm got no support for my mobo

and TAT and core temp only support core processor

i tot mbm support all motherboard just u have to select the correct sensor right??

check the temp oredi

there are some varience when picking out the sensor
it displayed:

8172-1 = 94 degree
8172-1 diode = -2 degree
8172-2 = -15 degree
8172-2 diode = -5 degree
8172-3 = 74 degree
8172-3 diode = 22 degree

so how??

Hey everyone, how come my Pentium D 930 that is running at stock speed is running at 85-90 Degrees Celcius?
[On idle liao ]

I'm using Thermalright XP120 by the way...

Thermal paste is Arctic Silver 5
Already tried to reposition the XP120 thrice...

Cleaned, repaste the AS5 thrice, but no difference...

But when i touch the heatpipe, it's not that hot...
It's around the temp of 36 - 40celcius only...
[I know the real temperature of the heatpipe because i've used an external temperature measure equipment before i got my own Pentium D processor liao... ]

What's happening here?
Does my Motherboard Sensor chip is faulty or what?

Ohh, and by the way, the motherboard i'm using right now is ASUS P5WD2-E Premium

Help me...

This post has been edited by sHawTY: Oct 17 2006, 06:12 PM

Maybe the sensor chip is faulty or maybe your xp120 is not working just joking...don't angry ya...

I've tried using both XP120 and Ultra 120 on the same processor...
Wonder why does it reports that kind of temperature...

Anyone knows why?

I know pentium d are heatmaker, but, i don't think it should rise to 90Degrees Celcius right?

hi... my Pentium D 930, 3.0GHz

According here Pentium D 930 max temp is 63.4C, so 90C I think should be burn liao de... maybe is true that your sensor chip faulty . Since you check the actual temp is around 36 to 40C, so should be ok de...

hi, im Pentium D 945 and Gigabyte G-Power. i think this HSF is really good.idle temp just around 34c-38c, when play games, around 43c-45c. one thing i dont really like about this HSF is the noise, but the performance is tip top.so, i dont really care tho.

Ehehe..
You guys know something?
Last night, after applying some thermal paste for the processor, fixed everything back to the pc, this is what i got:

A DEAD MOTHERBOARD!!!

Anyway, after discussing for a long time with moderno last night, yes, it seems like the sensor chip is faulty...

So, the board just wait for the time to be dead...
And now that it's dead, it's time for RMA...

[I hope that i'll get myself a brand new board... ]

Damn it...
Just send it to RMA with Cycom service center...
There, the technician ask me some stupid question...

He asks me this:
"The board looks ok [Physically], why wanna RMA?"

One question from you guys though...
Normally, when we send our items for RMA, the shop will send back the motherboard to the distributor @ supplier right?
Then, what does the distributor @ supplier do?

Repair it, or just replace it with a new item?

well i taught the giga HSF got manual fan controller?oh well,if u want the best cooling go deaf like the rest.hehe if u want to go for a silent setup and bling2 get xp120 and UV LED fan u should be alright if you want to OC well get a nidec fan or panaflo fan.Just a reminder these fans are pretty noisy

just because you add some thermal paste
the mobo goes dead??
wierd....

huh? your board dead after you apply thermal paste to it? did you do other thing to it besides apply thermal paste? weird...

U guys didn't read the whole story liao...

Ok, here's the full story...

When i've got the motherboard together with my pentium d 930 [Using Thermalright Ultra 120], the temperature is rising up to 90 degrees according to the motherboard sensor chip...

But when i've tested using other external temperature sensor, the temperature is around 35 - 40 celcius...

So it seems like the motherboard sensor chip is faulty, and when the temperature goes to 96degrees, the motherboard will auto shut off...

That seems like the motherboard is going to be dead earlier...

So, there i go with applying a new thermal paste [Using Arctic Seramique (AS5 finished )]

Then, the motherboard got dead exactly when i've done applying the thermal paste...

[It seems to me that the motherboard is going to be dead from the day i bought it, i bought it at 26 june 2006]

After apply thermal paste, then nothing comes out from the screen anymore...

Here comes RMA...
But..................... It's 3 weeks...

Back to my question earlier, will the supplier just repair or replace the board with a new one?

the temp is the chip or the mobo temp?

like mine
at idle the chip (PD930) register a temperature of 19 degree (easytune5,mbm5)
but using mbm5 i can choose the sensor which ranges from
-70+, -5, 20, 75, 94,

ppl have told me maybe my chip temp sensor is faulty
but between the realistic 20, 75, and 94 degree,
i choose 20, cause
when i touch the heat pipes it is warm and not hot.
used a laser temp checker, the temp ~42 degree

i think u didn't fix the processor proper lo... where can die after u put new thermal paste???? all the while is working well... go n cheak again... see very thing is fixed well... or u go n take out ur processor??? n use ur finger n 'disturb' the leg??? n oso see the power cable is fix... don't forget 2 fix it...

U think i'm stupid?
I have 3 pc in my room...

Changed a lot of pc before...

I diy all my pc...

I've been doing it a lot of times...

But still, the motherboard is dead already...

I won't fail anything, the board is dead because the death of that motherboard is there...

I read the whole story. I know ur proc temp go up high that why you apply thermal paste to it. Just feel weird it gone die after you apply thermal paste to it .

If the supplier replace with a new one...then I think dun need 3 weeks lor...just my opinion lar...

i think he know his IT stuff well enuff to solve the problem.U dont make silly mistakes like accidently bend the leg of the pin.Thats murder for ya.

Just ur luck my fren.Also a little courtesy goes along way.It wouldn't harm to be a little polite.Its still warrantied so just need to be patient until it came back from RMA.

yup it take 2-3 week to RMA even they change a new one for you.the fastest RMA would be BIOSTAR and they take 2weeks.well depending on the the board really,if the can salvage it they just repair it but if sensor chip, i reckon they sent a new board for ya.Hopefully

oic...I never know that since I never do RMA b4...

Lol, if the board is NOT physically ok you can't RMA..warranty void..

Well it depends, usually they'll replace, since its rather difficult to identify which is the spoilt component. But they still need time to check and make sure you haven't done anything to void the warranty, see below for a typical T&C (this one's form Asus)

http://support.asus.com/repair/repair.aspx...SLanguage=en-us
(you'll have to click the link to Non-Repair Grounds on the left-I can't direct link to it)

If you say the heatpipe doesn't feel hot then maybe can check if the back of the motherboard is hot, if it is but the heatpipe is not then the heatpipe is faulty. Another way is to hold the top of the heatpipe and dip its base into hot water-after a (short) while you'll most likely drop the heatsink when it gets too hot-good heatpipes can achieve a temperature difference of less than 5C over the entire heatpipe. Means you'll feel almost the temperature of the hot water conducted to your hand in less than a minute.

Btw sHawTY, what's the difference in temp between artic silver 5 and artic ceramique? According to online reviews which make comparisions the difference is so close its hard to tell for certain, but I'll like a first hand account.

mind i ask anybody doing bulk or selling Tt bigtyphoon 120-Vx ?..the price around how much?..thinking of changin my Pentium D stock HSF ..ideal is 45C++..sweat

The big typhoon should be aroun RM170+-.
Btw, tough luck u have there shawty, looks like the mobo was just waiting for it's time.
The cycom technician part, really ROFL.
(tats y i never go Cycom )
Usually, the manufacturer will just replace the mobo with a new one after proving it's faulty and still valid for warranty.
But i think loads of patience is required for the RMA.
Sometimes it takes months...

If you're going to overclock it to 3.8ghz , the Zalman CNPS9500 LED is ideal. Anything above get Water cooling. I bought a Zalman CNPS9500 LED for P4 coz i'm obsessed about keeping my processor cooled , I dont care about fancy looking cases or LED case fans

Increase your budget slightly and get the best Air cooling , a Zalman CNPS9500 or equivalent. the CoolerMaster Blue OrbII isn't bad either at RM135 if you're not going to Overclock it beyond 3.4ghz

eeerrrrr, i don't think CoolerMaster goin to produce Thermaltake's Blue Orb II

This post has been edited by E-J@1: Dec 13 2006, 01:26 AM

yeah right put more fan can cool the system

check the bloody intel fan and heat sink no heat sink compound and bad and worn fans.

more fans can work but your power supply is only a 250w.

that is so lame because you will have a badly worn psu in the end.

Oh whoops haha sorry it's thermal take not coolermaster , I was just admiring my new Coolermaster case I got it mixed up lol

It's Thermaltake not coolermaster execuse me for being stupid at this time of the hour

You've asked that question in the wrong section...

I've already asked for refunds from the original seller, and once the board returns from RMA, i'll send the motherboard to him, as i've already bought a new motherboard, as i can't wait forever for that board...

Ehh, stupid cycom!!!

Right, Blue Orb is Thermaltake products, not CoolerMaster...

Whose powersupply u're talking about here?
Mine?

If you're talking about my PSU, then u're wrong, my psu is 500Watt True Power, it's Enermax Liberty 500W

threadstarte , i would recommend u get a tt btvx if ur budget is low, if got extra cash get a hr-01 (personally my fav) or a noctua.

i think TT Big Typhoon VX is the best choice, cheap and easier to find. i dont think he can get a HR01 or a noctua even he got the cash. hard to find..

hehe im getting one thios saturday...if he offer good price maybe i let go lah ... coz its a spare cooler in case my wc failed...or under cleaning...

which one you are letting go? noctua or the hr01

the hr-01, if the price is right.... coz if sell ill go get a second wc loop for my gc...or chipset but then i have to retire my hr-05 which i dun want to do...i actually have a noctua sitting infront of me, leftover fromthe heatsink review me and superfly doing.well it not actually a noctua bt its a oem...

Weird...
I just pm'ed prem about buying the noctua heatsink...

Oii, you just had you're new HR-01, let me buy the Noctua la...

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the noctua is prems one lah..i jsut havent sent to him...

aih, when u are rich, u are really rich
im thiking of getting a HR-05 myself too. looks damm nice man

wanna ask TT bigwater or TT bigtyphoon better?

TT BT is easier and less hassle
