athlon64 1.8ghz idle 29 ~ load 40

cm hyper48 (big one oldskool)

I have one too in my 2nd rig. Just wondering, did you connect the CPU fan to a 3-pin connector or 4-pin connector. Apparently, if you connect it to a 3-pin connector, the fan will run at its lowest rpm, around 1200rpm IIRC.....

yup!, connect to 3pin on my msi mobo (ms-7025)

if connect to 4pin the pwm is active and can run max rpm (3600rpm)
this cooler its damn silent!! thank to CM :thumb:

I'm not sure if i have come to the right thread or not, but I have something that worries me at the moment.

Looking at LYN and round KL, I came to a few air cooler that might post a problem:
9700 LED/NT
Thermalright 120X

The question that bugged me is that as I'm using gigabyte gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, would the crazy cool be an issue with the backplate for the two AC above?

Read around, and I'm even more confuse, as some says that the crazy cool can be removed, while others say that it cant be removed. There are even places that says that it can only be removed if the heatsink/heatpipe for both the northbridge and southbridge is removed as well.

Please advice

for the ds3 its not a prob.

the dq6 is a prob where u have to remove nb and sb heatsink also cuz all connected. for u should not be a prob

Thank you

Now is the time i'm plus/minus Rm300 poorer

the crazy cool that u talking about only have with DQ6 version only not with DS3
so should be no problem for u to buy it.

highly recommend u buy thermalright 120 n if u wan to get at cheap n new u can ask Hwoarang45 since he do bulk of the stuff

I PM him past few day for a few clarification, but he hasnt reply to me yet. I think my PM is on a noobie type to him (as his post mention that noobie/rude pm will be ignored )

Plus, I went LYN and all 120 & 120X sold out. LOL

Now head hurts , think too much. ... blur liao...


EDIT:
Head hurts too much... instead of continue-ing to think, i think i'll just go and grab a 9700. It is one of the few good air-cooler, with my only concern being the fan's ball-bering dies on me. .

Going for newbie/moderate OC (first time), i think i can skip 120extreme at this time, and grab it once i'm more exp on OC-ing

@Dovienya
what your pc spec? Ultra120X seem extreme if u only use a P4 or non-overclocked rig. try contact him via message board cuz he might be busy

irenic is a water cooling expert !

Weak PC .

C2D 4300
gigabyte GA-965P-DS3,
4GB Corsair value DD2-667 Ram, [ (most pride item) but using 32-bit Vista ]
6800gs (none-overclock, due to heat in casing) - wanting to mod the casing

rest is standard. onboard sound-card, old 160gb sata-1 harddisk etc etc.

edit: my most pride item is the 4gb ram and not the mobo

enough for serious overclocking journey. what's the PSU? recommend something more value than Ultra120X, xigmatek HDT-S1283

It was a cooler master true power-something (bought it bout 1-2 year back) .. if not mistaken , 350 or 400 true power walt output.

@Dovienya: u can try to use noctua bro it perform superb bro n if u wan to try it ask irangan since he do bulk for noctua product n the only he

CM psu not recommended my fren

ur ram using wat chipset?

noctua very good cooler also darn silent...if my XIGMATEK SUCK hv to look for Noctua

also hv to beg irangan to do BULK

@styloe, i'm using corsair value ram, so donno what chipset it is.

@emilz, already bought a 9700, but thanks for the advice.


now the prob is that even installed the 9700, my temp is the same as with stock... idle 50c , peark 60+c..

zzz

erkk fren,ur using wat thermal paste?which come wif the 9700 .just look at the ram ic wats written on the ic (hynix/epilda) or else.

If i'm not mistaken the thermal paste that came together with 9700 is a performance thermal paste. And besides the performance should be better than stock heatsink.

yes yes still it cant beat AS5 and ARTIC MX rite?i guess maybe either he put too much or too lil and his casing airflow is rather bad.

at the moment, i tried with open casing. Two time, 1st time follow the instruction. 2nd time follow internet instruction

now donno too much or too little... but heat is worst that before.. think need to bring it back to lyn and ask ppl to re-install for me
