hmmmm... I know Hyper TX is good but never know it is THAT good wor. What is your room temp?

if that is the case, your result is very impressive. can match those high end heatsink performance.

Dont looks too good to me due to lack of heat pipe. but if the pricing is low, should be a good alternative.

I think people is waiting for Ultra 120 Extreme because the release date is soon. rather than IFX-14, i think it is still in prototype stage la.

That is very true. That's why, it is very important for us to install the backplate of the heatsink properly. The backplate will balance and disperse the weight of the heatsink.

At least, heatsink nowadays are made from copper base and alu fins. It is lighter compare to those heatsink that available few years ago. Just imagine a full copper Ultra 120 or NH-U12. Hahaha..

Hmmm.... Scythe heatsink or those from Noctua. Expensive but highly rated in its performance.

Err.... I dont think there is alot of heatsink that still support soc 478 nowadays. e.g. Arctic Cooling and Thermalright, are those company that totally discontinued on their soc 478 heatsink.

Luckily, there is still some company left. e.g. Scythe and Noctua.

Yes.... Even, Noctua going to phase out their 478 mounting in few months time. Sigh..

Guys, if you looking for a third party cooler for your vintage 478. Better do it fast else you wont find it anymore in few months time. By then you need to find a blacksmith to custom made a mounting for your 478. Hehe.

Guys, I just replaced my Scythe Andy Samurai Master with Noctua NH-U12F. Already obtained a drop of 1'C even before the AS5 fully sinked in. Currently, Idle 30'C (E6600 @ 2.4ghz). Will post the final result after my as5 fully sinked in.

Here is some pic of my rig now.

Ok ok only.. Bit lower than my previous heatsink. Hopefully, it will perform even better. hehe.

Those are 120mm fan filter i bought from petra tech shop and I using FM121 as my rear fan.

Hmmm..... I not sure on how good is Ultra 120 but according ot review, U12F and Ultra 120 is almost the same.

This is my result. DOnt know good or not

IDLE


Full Load


LOLZ... coolice just told me about fixing 3 140mm fan on that. I was wondering is that possible and now seeing you asking it already. seems that it is possible

wanted to purchase that but changed my mind because i worry it will cause me some clearance problem. oh yeah, FM121 is nice

Will post again after my as5 sinked in next week.


Errr.... Dont know wor... I thought that is normal. Hehe...

Yeah... I am in AirCond room now.. AirCond at 26'C and fan is on. Sorry, forgot to inform you guys about that.

Ya I do noticed the problem with +12v. That's why, my rig still running at default speed. Anyway, my Silverstone OP650 is coming tomorrow to solve all my problem.

What is your Vcore? Did you accidentally jack up the vcore?

Have you check the mounting of your heatsink? Some heatsink dont really have good contact. Try to re mount it again.

I think those 140mm fan from Scythe will do the job. Light, silent and most important, Powerful !

Ya... I do suspect Everest PSU reading is screw up but seem that other ppl dont have that problem.

Your temp is sure high and abnormal especially when you are using Ultra 120. Check those mounting and see the contact level.


We should discuss this in Chipset thread.

JingTin or TR HR 05 SLI..

Oh yeah... More powerful = more CFM... It really help to get rid of the heat from your heatsink.

This kind of question had been asked thousand of time. Sigh

Anyway, our mobo can perfectly withstand those 700-800g that you mentioned provided you mount the heatsink and back plate nicely. See it this way, will a famous company release a heatsink that will damage your mobo in long term.

Besides that, you can try to google around and you will find that some heatsink weighs more than 1kg.

Oh yeah... I also wondering how it going to install on our mobo.

I still waiting for any review about the heatsink. No deny the concept of IFX-14 is nice since there is alot of heat at the back of the mobo. So by putting a heatsink there to disperse the heat is a great idea. Like those latest 680 mobo from Gigabyte, huge copper plating on the cpu, north and south brigde.

Hopefully IFX-14 is not hard to install and less clearance problem.

there is a thread talking about that heatsink

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/378327

read it up

Probably. But i think the heatsink wont cause much problem. it is the long back plate heatpipe that worry me.

It is that tall meh?

the pricing for IFX-14 already out. RM305!!!

I am like WOW... asking for review from Hworang45. Cant find any on the net

dont know la... at first wanted to buy it to test one but now see the price also speechless liau. probably not going for it unless the performance really very impressive like getting lower 3 - 4'C than my Noctua.

Errr... my idle is at 28-30 only with Noctua U12F. But i am in an air cond room. Not too cold; around 25'C only.

Ya... I think the airflow of my casing is pretty ok... LianLi G7 ma. Should be ok. I dont think 25'C is possible. haha

I running at 3.0 only and i have a thermaltake 120mm running at full speed. I think that contribute to its low temp


I dont think it reach malaysia yet.
