post some pics of the clash, [gs]JackMin.
i would like to see..
i kinda agree with the ram problem because of the ram heatsinks..
but for the GC, i dont think so since i manage to put it without any problem..

mizi already lapped his GeminII, same goes to his proc

btw is there any GeminII S user here ? how does it perform ?

Look who's talking.

Anyway, I do think the ori surface of geminII is shining and flat enough, thus giving you the mirror effect. Just lap your proc and see the difference. I'll post up my results when Ive done my OC.

Anyway, my current temp is - idle 31 load 40. AMD X2 4000+ 2.85 @ 1.3v.

1.30000 - 1.39999 V. Which one?? and are u inside an air cond room?

Nope, in normal ambient,how I wish I have aircond and dont think I can wake up in the morning to go class hahah. Sorry for not being specific. Its 2.85ghz at 1.31v vcore.

But in your sig you are using xigmatek right ? I bet the cooler is doing its job, why change ?

For your info my idle is 33 celcius and load is 45 celcius at noon. at night 28-29 idle and 43-44 load. but using xigma my northbride temp is high = =

Offtopic : Where did you get your CM690

Anyway if NB is hot, just add another 40mm fan on it will do. No need to change the cooler.

cant take the pic coz ive alrdi swap it with cm mars the very next day. If u put the heatsink horizontal like the psu next to it wil surely block those ocz reaper rams bcoz of the ram heatsink. And if u put it at vertical position then it can fit nicely but if u try to install the 2 metal fins which to support the fan then the psu n gc wil block it le.

The reason why I totally turn down the Reaper, because of my GeminII ( Another method - Break and throw off the protruding heatsink on the Reaper and you can use it hahahaha)

Anyway, as promised, a screenshot of afterlapped GeminII and AMD X2 4000+ at 3.0ghz @1.44v in non-airconditioned room.

CM GeminII with Sanyo Denki H Series.



I love my cooler

ermm out of topic, heu2e, how to lap the processor and the heatsink? pls any guide link? thank u guys

does anyone know whether geminII can be fitted on Asus M2N-E mobo?

thers a lot of it..just find in this section..got two of it

GeminII fans, usually we put both blowing to the board right ? Any of you guys tried blowing out ? Is it effective or not ? Because other HSF blowing out and for towers, directly transfer the heat to rear exhaust

You can try it but I'm pretty sure it'll be very much worse off

I think the MAIN reason fans are blowing towards the mobo is to cool down the GeminII. I tried with GeminII without the fans and result - the GeminII was friggin hot when switch on the system, while having the fans, you hardly feel even warm on the heatsink.

i think it doenst work well.cos the gemin2 itself is damm huge and then if blow to mobo the wind will cool the down part first b4 the heat reach top of gemin2 but if u sucking the air out from gemin the air jz merely pass thru the uppest part while down part the air not moving effective.Jz my opnion

but i think, with 2 huge fan blowing towards processor, the rear suction fan will suck much from the 1 near it but the other 1 will back up 2 supply the air 2 the copper. 2 huge fan vs 1 ma......

That one is without fans, which I know it all along. GeminII no good without fans. Just wanna know if anyone has tried it before, and wanna know the result whether it is effective or not if both fans sucking the air out instead of blowing to the board just like we all do.

I want to try it but too lazy to do it Maybe some other time

Yes, U dont get me actually, the MAIN REASON of blowing down is to cool down the heatsink. The proc transfers heat to the heatsink, thus heatsink needs to be cool, there where the two fans doing their job.

And apparently you cant suck the heat out from the heatsink, therefore blowing up is a no good I guess. No good ? Terikut kau lani
