sHawTY, now you using Hyper 6+ or Ultra 120? I am abit confuse now...

Now I have a CM cooler for my AMD Duron 1200MHz, I am not sure what model it is, nver check...I bought it last time from my friend together with the mobo, proc & ram...My proc quite hot, idle at 41C (yesterday hit 45C coz the whether is hot), never load it with prime95 yet...

My casing is capalang one, so the ventilization I think not very good lor ...even thought I have put two 80cm fan as exhaust fan (one is cheap-cheap fan, another get from faulty psu fan)...I also have 2 fan at fron as take in (also one is cheap-cheap and onother is faulty psu de...)...but it doesn't help much

So, I cannot oc...the worst is my psu...capalang too...350W...I think not enough power liao...that day try to over clock to 1260MHz, it auto-restart after about half hour using it...wanna buy enermax fma 460w next month....

Edited to add: no more FMA 460w at ly... n I found that hyper 6+ sold at ly is damn expensive...

Wow...you got 2 PC... very envy you ler... aiyo...I miss out the opportunity to buy your hyper 6+ liao... ...hmmm...maybe I should change my psu and casing first....and add some good fan to it...now all using capalang de...quite uneasy when see the temp so high...

I found that my proc cooler maybe is stock cooler, just have a CM fan there...

AFAIK, AS5 need to wait it to shink only then can see the drop in temp (around 3 week if not mistake)...correct me if I am wrong...

Opps... I also feel weird when I type that word...but I not sure which 1 is the right one...so I just simply type....thanks sHawTY for correct it....

Haha... I don't think you will get 0 DB anyway...

Maybe you can tell us after you test it...

Why the temp change? you done anything on it or ?

Just finish install my new mobo and proc. Mobo is ASRock 775Dual-VSTA, proc is Pentium D 820 2.8GHz. Now still using stock cooler + AS5, temp quite high...60-62C at idle... waiting for AS5 to sink in...hopefully the temp will drop a bit...

I will update my temp after I buy a after market cooler...still wandering which one to buy... I will some research first...

If compare CM Hyper 6+ with TR Ultra-90, which one better ler? Thinking of either get the CM Hyper 6+ or the TR Ultra-90 coz TR HR-01 and TR Ultra-120 is expensive...found at Hwoarang45 bulk there HR-01 price is RM220 & Ultra-120 price is RM210...and that haven inlcude the postage yet...

After some reading, I had made my mind to get the Noctua NH-U12F from irangan bulk...I will post my result here after get the cooler...

Ya, go for Noctua...great for silent setup...and can perform very well too...can get from irangan bulk...see my sig below...

That will be great...you will include the noctua CPU cooler too don't you?

Yalor...not everyone can afford to have air-cond in room...

Yalor, not plan to oc but buy oc mobo is kind of waste...those mobo is extremely expensive... at least for me lar...

Just want to share my temp with Noctua and AS5 before AS5 sink in..



My mom received my Noctua NH-12F and NC-U6 this afternoon... I back home around 6.40pm...

I start from around 8pm take out all the part from my PC and install back all the thing and the Noctua cooler till 11.15pm ++... whew...so tired...

Keep on forget this and that...then need to take out the exhaust fan several time...

From what I can when I start the PC, the temp for my PD 820 is 57C, then it drop to 56C just in several seconds, then after several seconds, it drop again to 55C, then drop to 54C, then to 53C, but then it increase to 54C..then now stay at 56C as my emule start downloading movie...

From the result, it not impresive me as I thought it will at least drop till 48-50C after I install it...maybe I need to wait for AS5 to sink first...

So, currently, Idle will be 53-55C...load don't know yet coz haven stress it...will report the Idle and load temp after AS5 sink in...

What you guys result, please share...

Forget to say, I install using Orientation A (90 degree) as it will block my NC-U6 if I install it using orientation B (180 degree). The cap near the proc there nearly cause me can't install the cooler, but thanks to Noctua great design, the fastening bracket can be adjust, so no problem... As I am first time using those fan clips, it took me about half an hour to fix the fan clips in...I put the fan on right, mean the air push from right to left...I want to make it at left but the NC-U6 block it... my mobo not really suitable to install both NC-U6 and NH-12F, but my mobo stock NB cooler even suck...

Now I wonder my casing air flow will be a problem coz the empty space inside the casing now is very little...my PSU want to suck air out but NH-12F also want to suck the air from the little space, here some simulation, sorry for my bad drawing, my art not very good...





Edited: I forget to add my exhaust fan into the simulation...

Ya, I am thinking about the same thing... I will change to 180 degree this Saturday...and I will take out the NC-U6 and install back the stock NB cooler...

I have no choice, if want NC-U6, need to put as 90 degree, else, can put 180 degree...

So, I will put 180 degree for better cooling for my proc, NB is ok lor with the stock cooler...

ya, that true. Have a good heatsink but have bad air flow, will reduce the heatsink performance too...

@sHawTY, irangan or any forumer who have Noctua NH-12F

Wanna ask a question before I re-install my NH-12F. After install the backplate to the mobo, you direct screw the heatsink to your mobo before put in to the casing or you screw it after put the mobo in to the casing?

This few day I keep thinking of this question. The day I install it after put my mobo in the casing, and it take me quite long time to able to screw both the scews.

btw...the heatsink heatpipe is so near to my side panel...not more than 2mm I think...

ic...thanks for the info...
