Geminii S looks like TT big typhoon... oO

arctic cooling

Prime only stresses one core. Orthos or OCCT are the only ways LOL

There's a version of Multicore Prime , runs juz like Orthos/OCCT

Um.. isn't Orthos the dual-core version of Prime95 ? or a dual core version anyway ?

I have the same understanding too Orthos stresses both cores?

the single core version is the SP2004.

overtime, there's updated version of Prime..u can assign how many cores to be tested

how to lap gemin-II heatsink base????

very hard liao....

i scare if i lap the base unbalance...

Lap it slowly on a flat surface... don't apply pressure.. let the weight do the job... then can adi lor... dont rush...

overtime ? don't understand you sorry. What do you mean and where can I download it ?

Want to ask, can i use Cooler Master GeminII CPU Cooling for my lian li V600 . Its fit ?

BTW, PSU already move to hard disk bay.

can fit

guaran-damn-tee can fit

Ok guys, I need some help from air flow experts. I just got myself a Cooler Master 690 (the most expensive casing I've ever bought since I was never bothered to use a casing before this)

I have GeminII installed and it looks like the photo below. I have 2 x 12cm top blowing out and 1 x 12 rear blowing out. The problem is, the temp is somewhat worse than my cheap casing with side panel open. I believe the air flow is not right considering the fact that the cooler is so huge and there are already 2 fans blowing through it. I read a bit on the Internet and for cases like this, it's best to use HSF where the fan blows sideways, like IFX, Ultra 120, etc.

I don't want to spend on another HSF so anyone has a remedy to the problem? Who has CM690 and care to shed some lights?

hows about switching the rear fan to intake? itll supply the hsf with fresh cool air.

then the top 2 will help to exhaust the hot air out.

Thanks mADmAN but doesn't this create even more turbulence and mess up everything because too much of air in/out around the area? It's worth a try though.

turbulence? dont know if it will or wont....

but i dont think so.....i think the flow is just nice. especially since hot air rises. hence the reason i asked u to try switching the rear fan and not the top 2 (which you could also try by the way... top 2 intake rear exhaust)

TO be honest,the gemini II works really great.But somehow it have a contrast,i cant installed for rams at one time due to the heatpipe blocked the ram slot.

But the performance after lapping is

Maybe its too big for a Matx.

i regret after i bought it

I have to agree the GeminII works great but inside the 690, it's probably choking when it comes to the air flow
Earlier with my cheap casing w/ side panel opened, I get 24-25C idle but in the new 690 case, I get 30C. Impressively sucks.
