Yeah why not. RM150 should be enough to get an XP-90 which will be perfectly fine for cooling down your CPU.

Hell, if you're lucky you might find a Scythe Ninja at the Garage Sales for that price. Ask arj if he still has one.

Wah ..So messy cable here and there. I think u need to do proper cabling ur rig.
My Pentium D820 idle 36 ~ 37 C , when playing games and BT together = 45 ~ 47c ( Air Cond room ) Stock HSF
Using CM 5 with CM 430W PSU.

i knowww...the shop did a lousy job of cable and stuff
***dun want to mention d name of the shop though~***

cheapest is around 150 izzit?
i saw those coolermaster fans (aero 4 & aero 4 lite)
would tat help?

tqs guys~

go for coolermaster hyper L3, quite ok, my mom's office's prescott using it, maintain it bout 41c to 44c idle at air cond room... max load 5xc... it's around rm100 to 120 depends on locations...

im here in uni...no got aircondd
lik how?

juz top up another rm10 to rm160 and get Gigabyte G Power Pro at bulk section. It's a very good cooler. If u have more money, try XP 120 Ultra or scythe ninja plus. Scythe Ninja Plus is really really good for cpu cooling esp in non air con room.

For ur budget, Gigabyte G Power Pro will do.

I was in similar situation as you last time. Mind telling us what model is your CPU (830/930) ?

1)
It *may* be possible that one of the legs of the HSF not fit perfectly, so that the HSF contact with CPU die is not perfect.

2)
Also (can't trust shops nowadays) is the rear fan exhausting air OUT of the case, or blowing it IN?

Just trying to save you some $$$ in case one of the above is true...50+ on stock HSF for a Centurion 5 not so good ya...

im not sure whether ist 830/930
not really sure whether i want to cx the internal of tis rig yet...
i jes bought it last two week...hehe
mebe i ask my friend to cx it for me oso...tqs guys

btw...cx oledy...rear fan exits air...

cx oledy......930
btw wat diff does it make...

btw...can u guys tell me wats the diff between btween a KVR ram and norm ram?
is it a brand?
currently running on corsair 667

KVR is kingston value ram i think... lol ...

tqs brooo...
now..i've list down a few coolers i've been searching around the net

1. THERMALTAKE Pipe 101 Rev. 2.0 Combo Cool Heatsink for Intel P4 LGA775, AMD K7, K8

2. THERMALTAKE Tower 102 Combo Cool Heatsink for Intel P4 LGA775, AMD K7, K8

3. COOLER MASTER Hyper L3 (LGA 775)

4. COOLER MASTER Aero 4

5. GIGABYTE Neon Cooler 775 Series


also considered zalman...
but not within my budget...(rm100 max)

hope u guys can help me decide...tqs~

Mine reach to 60-70c when playing games..
Idle 40-50c...
Nothing happens =\

I thought temperatures like this is normal for prescotts

Idle temp around 30c

i oso use Pentium D 3.0ghz... but use graphic card... while playing games, the temperature only around 38C - 46C... because... i oso use kipas kaki to blow inside my pc... haha~ better u try this at home... it's value for money....

Rofl u can try using ur kipas if dun mind dust goin in

Try reading Air Cooling thread, got lots of ppl data on various coolers.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=294922

Just to note, Hyper L3 is small cooler, is a low-noise replacement for stock HSF, not really for cooling, esp. pentium D . I have a L3 i use on my Celeron, no extra cooling compare to stock hsf, but is low noise.

Another bro in Air Cooling thread use CM Aero4 his temps can fry egg oredi...

wow...can fry egg...aiyo
mebe gonna ask them bout thermaltake
tq bro...appreciate it alot

nt really, hyper L3 efficiently replace the stock hsf at low fan speed... quite nice...
