If you wanted a HSF with Fan but low noise, you wont get wrong with Noctua NH-U12F. The fan is great, and at the same time, no noise at all. Heard recommendation for the HSF which seems to perform well. Maybe you could check it out..

But, if you wanted something to be absolutely fanless, passive setup, i do recommend going for the TR HR-01. Saw some really good results from my cousin's setup and if in the future you wanted to coupled it together with a fan, you can see some amazing results..His HR-01 on Push-Pull configuration can go as low as 30c during the night on his Opteron 165 (at stock)..

Yup. I recommend the Noctua. Fan is silent, and if you want ultra-silent, just use the ULNA (ultra low noise adapter) that comes with it......

Thats totally is very huge hsf from Scythe... i doubt that will the motherboard able to handle the weight?

Btw, i saw the resource from vr-zone, is it support socket AM?

That is stupid.
You can't even put huge graphic cards below it.

That is plain stupid.
More cons about this heatsink, but i rather put the main thing about that heatsink that is you can't put most of the high end graphic cards below it.

What's going on with scythe?

how do u support such a big heatsink?

Doesn't seem to be practical for normal usage...even the end of the fins bends due to the weight.

need a help here, between scythe ninja and TT big typhoon VX, which one is better? thinking to let go my ninja. from sup3rfly HSF roundup, seems that mounting method plays important role..

-adios-

Both of them are great performers you should be fine with any of them. However reviews tends to show Big Typhoon VX to perform slightly better.

anyone can advice me on how to cool down my ram?
im using Cooler Master Hyper TX AM2. and it blocked 2 of my ram slots..
while the ram cooler cover all 4 slots, definitely i cannot be fitted..

a picture (hope it will help)


so let say if i wanna use Allngap's ram cooler, what should i do to make it perfectly fit?
and im thinking of changing to CM Gemini as well, but can it cool down my ram too?
or can recommend me any decent AM2 hsf that can cool down both my proc and ram?

thanks

Amik yang ni, confirm boleh sejukkan semua benda.

ceh..orang dead serious..die leh memain plak..cepuk kang baru tau..

baik aku bli table fan jek kalo mcm tu..konfirm sejuk ngan aku-aku skali

The Gemini will be able to cool your RAMs.

So basically Shawty's picture is serious because he's suggesting the GeminI

LOL..okay..
but then how could i use GEmini to cool the rams actually?
do i need to adjust the fan so that the air will be blew to ram?

The heatsink is huge, if you use 2 fans it should cover the rams area if mounted horizontally.

okay..will check it out..thanks

@kalakatu
geminII basically cover upper half (if ATX) of the mobo. northbridge, cpu, pwm, ram, etc all are covered. widest coverage lol

but prepared for high cfm fan (and noise) as it's more effective pushing air toward your mobo, that HSF raised quite high from mobo.

How big is the GeminII?Is it a full 2 * 12cm fan?

u can see from uncle ho's setup, the heat sink itself not that big, but the fan bracket can hold 2 fan togerther, basically the ram will be cover (in the correct orientation) then u jsut adjust the fan more over to the ram side

anyway TR HR-01 is really tall beware of that, it's good, the LG775 bolt thrud kit fitting is easy and solid too
