hi guys and girls;

just wanted to ask if the asus triton 70 good?

i dont see anyone using it,

i checked it out in lowyat plaza the other day, rm110, very very light, looks not bad.

heres the link to the cooler below:

triton 70


im thinking of getting it. all opinions is very much appreciated

Go google for some reviewer is faster way than waiting for the forumer to provides answer...

wow quite cheap but i rather get a XIGMATEK 963 just a few bucks more confirm good performance.even asus highend cooler also performs just SO SO only.

i did look up for reviews on the net but i much prefer opinions from ppl around here .. you guys seems to have problems very similar to mine.

anyway here's me specs: (using speed fan 4.3.3)

processor: intel p4 3.0ghz

ram: 2 stick 512mb apacer ddr cant remember

graphics card: winfast 8600gt (bought about 2 weeks ago)

fan: intel stock fan

currently used thermal paste: MX-2

idle: 46-48

load: can reach 60+ while running programs as follows:

WoW, MSN Messenger, AVG, IE

fan noise: hardly noticeable

graphics card fan: ok la .. can hear abit .. still can sleep if left running next to bed.

from what i've read, definition of load is 100% cpu usage, mine is not a hundred percent i think which brings me to the temperature problem.

my main question is: my load temperature (60++) on cpu, will it shorten my processor lifespan.

thanks again for any opinion

Hitting 60 is pretty much close to the wall which is 70 ...

yah running ur processor over 55+ all the time indeed would reduced it's life span ...

Either the cooler doesn't works well or u have poorly assembled the cooler ...

Try to remove the cooler and check out the pattern of the thermal paste left on both sides ...try to look for the contact level and if both sides really contacted well..

@chunted
is ur proc is P4 3.0 E??presscott??if yes then ur temp i think is ok la...
its idle at 60'c maybe a bit high, should be around 50'c....

hmm .. if he's using 8600GT, in general it should be the first generation of socket 775 platform that make still make use of DDR1 ram ..

So on my guess, the processor should be based on socket LGA 775..

anyway only he could clarify the doubt here ... where's he ???

Hi guys,
I'm considering these 2 hsf,
a) CM Hyper TX (bulk rm99)
b) Xigmatek 963 (bulk rm119)

Does the xigmatek gives better performance/value ratio than hyper tx?
The reviews I read for Hyper Tx are pretty positive sounding, but then again, a lot of ppl curse and swear when it comes to CM products. Some real experience comment would be much appreciated.

well i would honestly go for the Xigmatek over the CM anytime. DHT FTW!

Don't need a second thought, if u want nth other than performance...

this is the cooler XIGMATEK DHT ..... don't look else where ..

i dunno whats my proc type wor .. i only know the mobo type: d915gav .. i went to intel website i could not find the proc type.

my idle is 47-48 .. only when say im playin Wow .. it goes up to 69c

definately intel LGA proc since 915 is for intel mobo using 915chipset based ...

yup i go for DHT anytime oh yeah using one now

Seems like no choice but to get a cooler and try it out ...

at least it would works much better than intel stock heatsink ...

oki .. thanks for all the suggestions .. i will try out the xigmatek and post results here .. but that would be in a few weeks time. till then .. thanks again

intel 915chipset +DDR1??definately ur proc is presscott...i don't think it is cedar mill as last time i use cedar mill, the temp really2 low due to 65nm process...

go for xigmatek for better ressult...

guys, is it alright to use a lapped heatsink (freezer 7 pro) on an unlapped processor (hs).. would it affect performance etc..?

no problem if u lapped ur proc u'll voild ur warranty unless ur filthy rich la

hehe exactly.. dont wanna void d proc warranty.. dont mind voiding hsf's warranty though. hope it results in at least 2-3 degrees lower temps
