Me want to join oso

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2.6GHz v1.50 with Gigabyte G-Power BL
Idle = 39, Load = 55
Thanks you

Anyone heard of TT's V1 and Max Orb? Has it arrived here yet? Since they have great success with their Big Typhoon, maybe these two aren't so bad. Comments?

That's for sure. But in terms of price? That max orb got six heatpipes! Wonder how would it perform....

A question to add. Does the positioning of the HSF affects the fluids in the heatpipes? As we know,fluids are affected by gravity. So does a horizontal or vertical positioning of the HSF affects it? If it does, wouldn't it reduce the performance of the heatpipes in transferring heat? Unless the inside of the heatpipes are vacuum right? Anyone? Lemme know if my question is unclear. Thanks in advance!

Cool..That means I can place my HSF in any directions . Thanks for the answers

Hi all,
Just want to share an information regarding thermaltake newest cooler, the V1 and MaxOrb. Please have a look at the benchies at:

WOw! That's fan is large enough to cool me down. Sweet. Maybe going to get it when it's available. HAhaha

10 pieces also possible lorh...destroy your GC, sound card and other pic devices in the way. Bwahaha

I would go for 120 extreme. Best of the best. Difference from Tuniq not even RM100. As for the fan,can search yourself. Silent fan, loud fan, any fan.

So....no need to tighten the copper base to the processor? If tighten, can't open the case. Even so, how on earth do you tighten it? Doesn't makes any sense .

It's a mainstream cooler intended to replace the stock cooler. Good if you're not planning on overclocking. Dead silent. If you're planning on overclocking, go for something else. Noctua, TR, or maybe Tuniq Tower.

Max RM200? Hmm...a bit difficult. Most TR and Zalman is Rm200+. I think only Noctua and Tuniq Tower fits into your budget.

Hmm...i think neither of those are good at passive cooling or low cfm fan...i dunno,not sure. But for passive cooling, you usually need a massive amount of surface area and the fins need to be spaced quite far apart compared to active coolers. Like TR HR-01.. The Noctua one got a silent fan, even with 2 fans you wont hear a thing. Can set it in a push-pull setting.

What is your idle and load temp with your ninja?

Hmm...kinda high i think. But i'm not sure what is the safe operating temp for C2D. But usually should keep it below 70C right? Still ok i think. If you can reduce 5C here, it does makes a different. I think 120 extreme should satisfy your rig. I dont think Noctua is capable in your case, but then again i'm not sure. Maybe you want to put on to the test? Hehehe

Aha....IFX only got 4 heatpipes on top of the proc, and 2 at the back. But 120 extreme got 6 on top of the proc. Far more better IMO.

That's why i said IMO. I didn't say what i said is the true fact. And why thicker and fatter heatpipes are better?

I see...so more heat can be move at one time. But one thing i'm not sure of, isn't the contact point between heatpipes and the fins is also important? 4 fat heatpipes, compared to six thin heatpipes...which one have a greater surface contact with the fins? 2(pi X (diameter/2))????

Waaa...can really drop like nangka busuk one aaaa? I want too la...make it cempedak one. LOL

I know.... just wanna mess up you post. That's what friends are for...LOL
