OMG
 sure looks interesting...  it's kinda like WC Radiator  sure 1st of its kind for air cooling to have 2 x 12cm fan blowing in...  that means 1 fan for 3 heat pipes  the fins also soldered to the copper base like xp-120, but this!!! hhmmm xp-240 la   would u look at that... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Source QUOTE(PowerSlide @ Dec 6 2006, 05:21 AM) saw this ermm somewat early of the year @ some show?? its coming this month..n look at it..its madness! can be even more mad wid 2 220cfm delta screamers where did u see the show at? right here in m'sia? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « more pic http://vic.expreview.com/read.php?62  This post has been edited by E-J@1: Dec 6 2006, 07:09 AM |

Gosh, twin fans now? I guess that's overhyped because normal standard cooler master CPU coolers get the job done, why the need for such a big CPU cooler like in the picture, it won't fit most casings for sure.

It have been posted before, and it's CoolerMaster Japan Engineered, not like other CoolerMaster products that is engineered by taiwan.
For me, it's too damn large, it'll surely break the motherboard, i wouln't trust my motherboard to take such a large heatsink...  Furthermore, the heatpipes is too long before it reaches the fins, so the heat is taking longer time to reach the cooler parts aka the fins... Let's just wait either it'll really going to be produced or just a concept item...  |

Concept ItemWill it be released and produced? It's too damn large you know? ' What kind of motherboard can stand the weight of that big heatsink? Furthermore, it seems like it'll need a large free space, will got stuck with other parts on ther motherboard such as the Northbridge heatsinks... |

But an 850Gm without fan it's a little bit heavy don't you think? But to think that the old heavier Hyper 6 can be supported by most motheboard, i think this heatsink wouldn't be a problem though, but still, it's too... BIG... The biggest heatsink i've seen so far... Wanna try this aa Powerslide? |

not that i willing, it is the bloody hot ATI card that forced me......
there is problem when cooling off voltage regulator of the card when using HR-03.... else ,,,, i would really hope that cool the card passively... anyhow we will see how it turns out to be ,,,,, but short on cash to get two new UV 12CM fans .... |

I'm gonna wait for some results from some reviews, and check the price first, if both is good, might wanna use this... With that large surface area, it should beat the other super heatsink...  |

CM stuff are not bad..very original design but overall lack of "user friendly" like their hyper6..it works great i like it alot but the mounting is horror to me..mounting on a s478 board require me use all my muscle strength n the cooler design is too big left too little space for me to hold the clip well
they are price well..looks ok..works ok but always getting to work is the problem..dun put other thing in like their casing which i can even give more -ve comment |

So far CM works well in term of mid range cooling solution ...
it won't be the best for most of the product as the price also cheaper than competitors such as TT and TR ... anyhow they have made big move with their new series of cooler ... although most of them are large in size .... somehow the performance is promising |

seem that, this heatsink only for those extreme player. need to fit alot of citeria before can purchase that. from this, safely assume that they are aiming at a niche market and not mass market like other cpu cooler. niche market = higher price IMO.

I am more worried about the noise rather than the weight
if 2 = 220CFM , then 1 = 110CFM , AFAIK , a 12cm that can produce such high CFM at the same time will also provide alot of noise |

Damn nice! I'm gonna haf a real good look at it when it comes out. Really good design. The fans sit on a bracket that can slide to the left or right so u can adjust it to fit ure mobo n case. I love it coz it cools the whole mobo n my mobo is 1 hot mobo. Look damn cool too. Love the design n the 2 big fans. Big is goooooooooooooooooooood. Heatpipes r sexayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

QUOTE(PowerSlide @ Dec 9 2006, 06:16 PM) time to change to *ahemmmm* lian li Am thinking of getting a Lian Li PC A10 @ Gigabyte 3D Aurora... cm stacker would fit ..but this cm dun make it support s478 3D aurora is cheaper, but, i love the design of A10 as the motherboard tray is facing left side of the casing... Hmm, which one to go? What do you think of that casing guys?  QUOTE(s[H) sIkuA,Dec 9 2006, 06:30 PM]I am more worried about the noise rather than the weight Noise?if 2 = 220CFM , then 1 = 110CFM , AFAIK , a 12cm that can produce such high CFM at the same time will also provide alot of noise Change the fan lor... I am not gonna use that 110CFM per fan it's gonna be noisy leh... QUOTE(E-J@1 @ Dec 9 2006, 08:50 PM) can't u flip the window upside down, making the case fan sits at the bottom near the pci slots.... Sell what? or, u could just sell it to me My case? QUOTE(ianho @ Dec 9 2006, 10:51 PM) Damn nice! I'm gonna haf a real good look at it when it comes out. Really good design. The fans sit on a bracket that can slide to the left or right so u can adjust it to fit ure mobo n case. I love it coz it cools the whole mobo n my mobo is 1 hot mobo. Look damn cool too. Love the design n the 2 big fans. Big is goooooooooooooooooooood. Heatpipes r sexayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I like. Yerp, Heatpipes are sexy!!!

oh yea hor
use it with 2 silent fan but compatibility would be a big issue for this, some will block gpu slot, some will block power connector, etc etc the list goes on |

That's why i mentioned earlier there is compatibility issue hidden....
the cooler is gigantic .... if anyone can install the cooler without too much of hassle ... then i would agree with the cooler ... other wise it is not that practical .... |

But since it is for enthusiast, then the compatibility issue shouldn't be a problem as long as it fits most high-end extreme motherboards.
Bout the blockage problem mentioned by s[H]sIkuA, i don't think that would be a real problem as the heatsink has a rather high clearence. I'm more worried bout the weight though. |

hmmm... i think you got a point there.. with 2 120mm fan blowing the hot air downward, the hot air should circling in the casing and increase the temp. all the air flow in the casing will be in mess.

QUOTE(Vervain @ Dec 11 2006, 09:31 PM) great, so it depends on mobo design, the casing clearance for top and side and most of all, the bonding strength. high cfm doesn't mean it can efficiently cool of the heat from the processor. considering the large block is there to obstruct the internal circulation This is the thing that make me scared to use that heatsink... 2 things, GC card and rear exhaust fan will be blocked? |

i guess the price would be 2 or 3 times the current HSF.
may be more... considering it's size, fan and heat pipes... probably end up to about RM 700.00 |

RM700 could get you a lower end swiftech watercooling kit dude! Definitely way better than all other high end heatsink. |

QUOTE(cablesguy @ Mar 4 2007, 01:20 AM) error, im using as5(now waiting to settle in) and the fan is running around 1200+ rpm with 39+ cfm each. its not the strong / vacuum cleaner type of fans. performance wise is actually quite good coz im using the low cfm fans . futhurmore C2D 6600 is known to run hotter than the E6300,6400. comparing with intel stock hsf. i've actually got 13c off which i think is good enough. can u be more specific ie what TIM, what fan @ what speed, coz judging by the temps, it looks like an avg performer...dont mind me saying so QUOTE(sHawTY @ Mar 4 2007, 01:36 AM) WTF.. erm .. initially the staff quote me RM 150, haggling + taking 2 units together makes him lowered to RM 145 RM145?

TAT or Default Temp Reader that comes with the mobo i got the same proc with u, E6600, stock speed: Thermaltake Golder Orb II --> idle:36~37c || load:47~49c (using EasyTune 5 --> Giga 945P-S3 mobo) p.s --> i might have a concaved C2D thus higher temp. but the temp differences from intel stock hsf to cm geminII is significant. i tot of bad TIM contact, but im kinda reluctant to take off everything out and remount again, it doesnt use the push-clips mechanism |

actually the size doesn't really obstruct any components. the base / lower layer of the hsf was designed to have a smaller base to fit any boards perfectly. the top part / fan part was the killer. it can almost cover the entire width of board (atx size). Good thing is, the 2 x fan of this hsf were put into a slidable bracket so that u can adjust it just in case let say there was a exhaust fan near the back panel and it is obstructing the hsf. u can slide it away from the exhaust fan to give some clearance.
Furthurmore, most of the casing will not have any other devices directly on top of the mobo, usually the dvdroms, harddisk (for normal space limited casing) will be very close to mobo but not on top of it. With this, the hsf will fit nicely. for reference. I did try it on Gigabyte DS3, and mine DFI Infinitty 975G/X + Lian Li PC07 ( the dvdrom and mobo were very very close) and it fits This post has been edited by error: Mar 6 2007, 12:52 PM |

It seems a bit crowded in your casing. Maybe need a bigger casing so that it's less crowded. The heatsink is too huge for my taste, might be an obstacle when we need to remove and upgrade stuff from our rig.

But this plate only has holes for AM2 ( 4 holes ) and the S939 ( 2 holes type ).

I have just installed geminII on Lian Li casing v1000. For those who are considering this heatsink wif v1000, it is really tight fit.
After fitting the heatsink I can no longer fit in my 120mm x 38mm exhaust fan. It should still be able to fit standard 120mm x 25mm fan. |

Here is the pictures and results.
 Exhaust fan mounter outside the casing.  Overall view. I am running e6300 @ 3.15ghz. I am using 2 x 70cfm fan but using fan controller running at lowest speed. Assuming it is around 40cfm each fan? I am using TAT to monitor the temp. I don't have any aircon. Idle temp is at 47c Orthos full load is at 58c This post has been edited by kof91: Mar 16 2007, 09:39 AM |

QUOTE(Doom @ Mar 18 2007, 09:35 PM) i feel the same as well... i am using TR Ultra -120 and the temp is: Using aircond is the only way to make sure I can test both the HSF at constant 25C room temps. The aircond will maintain constant room temps mar. If u use only normal room temps the natural air temps cud haf fluctuated by 2-3C depending on what time of day u do the tests. If I set my AC to run 25C it will be 25C in my room at all times of the day.Idle: 35c Load:43c can compare without air cond result...?? it is difficult for others to compare it at actual run time... Anyway, ambient room temps wont matter much coz my purpose is to c how the fujin compares to the TR XP120. What matters is to compare the load temp of both HSF n c the temp diff. Let's say the fujin beats the XP120 by 5C at room temps of 25C. Then the same shud apply at 32C room temp. I'm hoping that the Fujin beats by XP120 by at least 5C n also cool down my RAMs n mobo heatpipes more. Let's c what happens when I start installing everything. *fingers crossed* |

I do not know why my idle temp was always higher.. before that I was on the stock heatsink.. the idle temp was around 55c and load temp around 68c. Reseated the heatsink a few times still same result. I need additional fan for the north bridge in the previous settings.
I am very happy with this cooler as it cools the ram and north bridge. without extra fan. It depends on your setup actually. It is possible to have a silent solution while it cools the system resonably well. One more thing if I run the fan at full speed there will be another ~3c drop in the load temp.

Yep huge hsf.. and I have to sacrifice one mobo screw, there is no way for me to ever put that in already as the hsf blocks the access. For bigger casing it shouldn pose any issue. actually it is not as cheap as you think. The hsf cost around rm145 without fan. Say you add 2x cooler master 40cfm fan. That will cost rm50, total cost will be rm195. Not so cheap anymore. This post has been edited by kof91: Mar 19 2007, 11:55 AM |

oh yea, just to inform that i did turn off my C1E thus resulting higher idle temp.
if i turn it on, i can achieve idle of 35c. ( around 266 x 6/7 = 1.6ghz/1.83ghz ? forgot lol ) Oh yea, i'm having a B conroe as well, not sure whether is the link posted below true or not. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=10349091 This post has been edited by error: Mar 19 2007, 12:51 PM |

you have ur point there then ... however not everyone stay in air cond room .. so it would be hard for others to take ur result as reference ..of course they could do the math as well by adding the ambient difference.... i wonder how it would looks like in ur case |

Idle: 33 Load: 42 Beside i am using stock clock ... no OC... while she OC the E6700 that should be hotter than mine in default... somehow my load temperature may not be the top yet ... need something more stressful i guess.. |

hhmmm... dunno what to say? It looks really cool and all but blowing air back into the casing... i think it would be better if the top base could be facing towards the back exhaust of a casing. Then this would be really kick ass... overall... i'd probably give it a 4/10.

QUOTE(Doom @ Apr 5 2007, 09:03 PM) I have saw it selling at AllIT today for RM170... hmm... that is expensive. you can get it for like RM140 - 145seriously it's so light weight that suprised me so much .... looks good for entire mobo cooling but not sure about ventilation ... Its sure can cool down the whole mobo but dont you guys ever think those 'air' from the heatsink is a hot air? Personally I think that those hot air will only make your mobo more warmer and dont forget more dust on the mobo. |

Personally I think that those hot air will only make your mobo more warmer and dont forget more dust on the mobo. if the airflow is bad, then yes, maybe this hsf will not perform too well. for for those bigger cases, this hsf will definitely perform well. |

hmm . so the market price would be around RM150 to RM160 ....
that's good coz it requires another RM60 for two CM LED fan to work nicely... so anyone beside uncle Ianho has got one in their rig ?? want to get some comment on it ... |

Got a time to go to moderno shop last week, and got a hold of the geminii in my hand. [hold only, no buy
]From my experience, yes, it is lightweight. But looking at overlength heatpipes, i don't know either i can really rely on that heatsink. |

Sry I didn't haf time to write a review on this guys. Anyway just a short n simple answer for u guys wondering about the ability of this monster heatsink. It is monstrous in everyway u can imagine. Lovely temps on everything.
My CPU load temps dropped about 13C! I kid u not. This is compared to an XP120 which is already an excellent HSF. I was shocked that it cud drop 13C. The XP120 load temp was 65C. Gemin load temp is only 52C. Best thing is that it also dropped my mobos temps a whole lot. Mobo temps dropped about 10C. I'm very sure my RAM is also much cooler now compared to b4 but I haf no way of measuring the RAM temps. If the mobo dropped 10C then the RAMs must surely b cooler too. The 13C drop was tested in my room at normal room temps of about 32C. If I turn on the aircond, u wont belif the temps showed by Everest. The fellas who came for the LANparty n looked at the temps on my G5 LCD were shocked. The CPU load temp while gaming was only 30C! So those of u who always doubt CoolerMaster, try this monster, it truly is a monster. Best thing is that it's cheap. Dirt cheap. Too cheap. I was thinking of going back to water cooling to cool my King Kong's sky high temps but this Fujin solved all my probs. |

The Ultra sux in that aspect coz it just blows straight out the back n doesn't offer any cooling to the heatpipes at all. N HOT heatpipes is a major issue on all mobos with heatpipes once u start clocking them to the sky.u can refer to XS to lsee more |

yah that's what i was having in mind.
Ultra-120 has smaller size advantage without losing out too much performance. Gemini has good performance for both CPU and mobo however installation size and noise are issue to be considererd. Further more not everyone has a big case to house the cooler like uncle .. |

I've got another solution for you guys.....
if you look properly at the surface area of the fins, it is obvious that it can fit 2x 92mm fans on it nicely..... if 2x 120mm is way too bulky, use 2x92mm then......performance will be still the same |

I am one of them ... even with Ultra-120 also is killing and scracthing my hands...
will be getting back to HR-01 as it performs better under low RPM fan condition ... using Ultra-120 requires high CFM fan .. which something i dont have and wont want to get ... noise issue... |

It really depend on the interior of ur case and the size of ur hands, hardware coolers and the hardware wanted to mount and remove...
it would definitely wont do for me as i have a pair of large hand ... working around with Ultra-120 already is my limit .. i cant e=imagine how it would be with the gigantic size of Gemini... |

Im using this heatsink,
so far so good, satisfy with the performance ~  C2D @ 3400MHz, vcore set more than 1.55v, dual Prime load temp is less than 55c ~ 1fan is using Vantec 12cm fan (almost died), another one is Silverstone FM121, speed adjust to lowest.

What do u mean by close case ?? I think most of the photo shown here are done with open side panel so that it could be seen clearly ..
For example UNcle Ianho's rig is definitely has it's side panel on when actual running the rig.. .is that consider close case ?? |

my wc setup : idle 49 48 45 49 load 69 66 65 67 geminII : idle 54 47 48 50 load 71 66 67 70 .. so roughly this geminII is just around 3c hotter than my wc |

MyPC.
Check your cooler properly though. Mine got a slight dented heatpipe. Heh. Got my artic silver for RM30, plus together with my heatsink with a discount of RM5. Total RM175. I AM informed that AS5 is being sold for RM25 in the forums though. But to sum stuffs up it was worth it for me as I manage to grab a discount.

QUOTE(LittleLinnet @ May 27 2007, 03:12 AM) sure, few posts below shows that what fan he is using Wonder if he reads through before posting.Btw, Irenic used 2*Allngap's 120mm fan, doing between 80-90cfm each. Was wondering if 2*Allngap's crazy 220cfm 120mm fans were used, how much perfromace increase will there be? QUOTE(LittleLinnet @ May 27 2007, 03:12 AM) all those sockets Thanx for the clarification. So means it's really affordable, no need extra brackets for it.Socket AM2/754/939/940/LGA775 |

Hi,
Bought my gemini II from viewnet yesterday, for only RM135++ together with my GC. Viewnet selling this quite cheap, and can nego kaw kaw. akkihiko, it fits well in my mobo, but it blocks the AX, and 24pins power ports (am i correct?) on my mobo. It was hard for me to connect them back to my mobo, but by hard work u can do it... |

download 0.94 if using xp, 0.95 if vista, frm wat i tested, 0.95 causes random shut down for certain mobo or system in xp but totally stable at vista. so use 0.94 if using xp while 0.95 if using vista. |

HI, i'm using Gigabyte 965P-DS3 v3.3 mobo,
it fits well!! hoho.. just a little bit problem where by u need to a slim hand to plug molex connectors of your PSU (am i call it right ) onto your mobo.And to kerryking, yup it fit well in my casing. I'm using normal ICute ATX middle casing. But now i can't install 2x 80mm fans at the back of my casing. The fan bracket of Gemin II (please note that it's Gemin II , but not Gemini II) dominates whole of the upper space of my casing, and i have to remove my 2 80mm fans, and this makes my core temp maintain at 45 to 48 degree C. This is not Gemin II's fault but mine as when i bought my casing i never thought that i would fix this pretty monster in my casing. Planning to change casing, anyone can suggest me? I want a aluminum silver casing with windowed panel, and my budget is around Rm300-350. Planned to get Ah-lian PC-007F, is it good and can fix this monster?And to ^666^, the 120mm fans that u installed on Gemin II, are they blow in or out? Last words to end this: I love Gemin II |

I think it is nice, different from the other. Single fan, like common already. Double fan, o yeah. Plus the package not included with fan, so it's our choice to choose which type of fan we want to install. Personally, it is the only CM cooler that got my attention

@hafiez
U are really interested with the topic or just here to spam the thread ??? "silap pasang ke?" refers to whether the installation process done accordingly or not ... this includes cleaning the CPU IHS surface with alcohol and quality thermal paste was applied during the process. Lastly the HS is seat on the CPU die nicely without having insufficient or excess of thermal paste applied.. All three or probably more criteria would effect the performance of the heat sink ... 4th criteria is the fan that used ,,, does it has sufficient airflow to match with the heat sink ... |

20+ celcius!? LOL.. 29~30 might be acceptable if your area is cold enough.
Your temperature should hit around the range of 35celcius on idle. Depending on processor though. However, for the GeminII, mouting is important. Improper mouting will lead to very bad temperature readings. Self experimented it myself. Do tighten the screws enough so the cooler is not lose or moves around. |

And you believe that? guys how bout if use peltier will it be more madness? ehehe:D There is no way the temperature will be lower than room temperature if you just use aircooling heatsink. Its either his board temperature sensor are crazy or he's in air-conditioned room. |

actually gemin do have issues on the 775 coz they dont include the back plate for the heatsink for 775.....the back plate only can use for am2 and 939...
so the weight of the hsf+2 12cm fan cannot stand by the mobo with no hsf back plate attach cousing to no balanced presure towards the proc.... Resulting a not very good contact bettween proc and heatsink base.... So this coller is great on AMD platform.... My idle on stock 1.9 is 25~ Idle on 1.3v stock vcore 25~ Idle on 1.45 1.425 vcore 32~ So its actually the best coller for amd rite now.....ive tested HR01-Ultra 90-BT VX-G-power This Is still The Best!!

Do realize guys, brisbane On-Die sensor is broken. n there's no way proc temp can go lower than ambient temp.Condens will occur.

I don't mind any fan as long it is silent and looks nice. I don't like black fan even with high cfm. As an OCer, we'll know its performance. For normal user, they look like normal fan

i m looking for a CPU Cooler for my E6420
currently OC my proc (400*7@ 1.325 stock vcore) with stock HSF idle temp remain the same like b4 OC : 39-41c load with orthos : 65-66c (mostly at 60-61) I am using CM Centrion 5 now with modded 1 120mm fan at 5.25" and rear 120mm exhaust fan. and also 1 custom 120mm blowhole at the top of the casing directly blow wind to the RAM. I am thinking to get either TT Big Typhoon vx or CM GeminII. i already owned 2 units of Silverstone FM121 so the price is Not a comparison betwen this 2 HSF anymore. The problem i am worry about is : 1. the performance of the CM GeminII can win TTBT vx or not. 2. the CM GeminII will bend my mobo (gaygaybtye 965p ds3 rev3.3) 3. my CM C5 can fit the HSF or not coz the interior size really limited ( i got do cable management, so not becoz of the cable blocking problem, is the case abit small) Hope anyone that have experience on this help me ya~ thx alot~ This post has been edited by michealelsie: Jul 4 2007, 06:29 PM |

QUOTE(michealelsie @ Jul 4 2007, 06:28 PM) i m looking for a CPU Cooler for my E6420 having used both of the cooler previously on my PD805 proccurrently OC my proc (400*7@ 1.325 stock vcore) with stock HSF The problem i am worry about is : 1. the performance of the CM GeminII can win TTBT vx or not. Hope anyone that have experience on this help me ya~ thx alot~ which is o'c 3.9ghz@1.5v...i supposed they performed quiet the same...both idle around 48' to 51' and on load TTBTVX @ 67' and the GeminII @ 65' the GeminII performed slightly better i think due to the 2 X 120mm delta fans i used This post has been edited by mruzian: Jul 4 2007, 11:25 PM |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 4 2007, 07:29 PM) Good question. It's simple actually.Aku pun terfikir fikir gak, kenapa la jadi benda camtu. I remembered you had tried the Hyper6+ few years back right? Try mounting the Hyper6+ without locking the nuts at the mounting plate properly and see the temperature. Basically, if you don't screw the nuts tight enough (which nobody loves doing cause I actually bent my motherboard a little while using GeminII and Hyper6+ for tightening the nuts too much), the mounting mechanism will leave quite some gap between the processor and the heatsink base. Solution? More TIM for better contact. Tried that myself actually so I know. lol |

also do you overclock your proc? |

Anyone running Gemini without fan ?
Just got back my casing, testing it now without fan. (Simply put in everything first) idle temp now is 56c. I guess when noon time will easily hit >60c E6600 @ 3200MHz using 1.45v Before action :

coz i wanted a cooler with 120mm fans. the XP120 can even work with low power fans... even a CM UV Silent fan @ 5v can give good results with the cooler...
not like the XP-90C..to get good results ull need a strong fan...strong fan aka NOISE! somemore 90mm fans are friggin noisy compared to 120mm @ the same CFM. the XP-120 can benefit from both... the more the air the better the results. i like the flexibility. which is what makes me personally think that the XP-120 is a better buy than the XP-90C...has more value. plus..u can also put the fan on the XP120 in a suck out position with a difference of only 1c in temps...im not too sure....but i dont think u can do that on the XP-90C. that whole suck out thing was one of the selling points of the XP-120 as its the only cooler (at the time) that can do that |

so when i go out i put it full blast...when i come home i reduce the voltage to make it silent. not not using anymore... using Vizo 120mm fan now anyway...i am curious as to how 2*120mm Delta FFB affects the temps with the GeminII |

I bought my GeminII last few days. With AeroCool LED 12cm fans x2 at RM170. Athlon X2 4000+ @ 2.92ghz full stress using orthos at 53.
Comment : Kinda good for its price, the design is nice tho can fill up the space inside the casing and hide those non sleeving wires =P

That's y it's Custom PC magazine's all time favorite HSF coz it's cheap n performs well. I've tried it n it's good for up 3ghz on a quad core. Custom PC mag says good for up to 3.6ghz but that's in their cooler weather I suppose. |

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?  |

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 have to agree the GeminII works great but inside the 690, it's probably choking when it comes to the air flow But the performance after lapping is Maybe its too big for a Matx. 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. |

Impressively sucks. I think 690 will perfectly match the gemini II. I think its due to the opened side panel that makes your temperature 24-25C. It means more cool air from outside will get into the case. That also happen to me when i use gemini II with no casing.My temperature is around 31c idle. But after using a casing,my temperature jump to 42C idle. |

Ok, I re-organized the fans a bit and had those low cfm, low performance Cooler Master fans on top and rear exhaust. It isn't so noisy anymore and temps are a bit better but still worse than my cheap case with side panel open.
I thought CM 690 should give better temp since it has good airflow? |

I know lapping would probably help but what I'm saying is this 690 gives a worse temp compared to cheap casing with panel open.

are u comparing the temps in the 690 with an open or closed side panel?
if ur comparing closed vs open.... then of course open is better. |

But in this case,he's trying to get different between opened CM690 and Opened Chapalang case. As what i know,he said opened CM690 case runs hotter than opened chapalang case. It may be because of the different type of ventilation,material of the ambient temperature inside the case. |

From what I read in other forums, a good casing with closed panel is better than open casing on a cheap panel. It's alright and I guess I'll just leave it as it is

For better air flow thru the case, place a higher pressure/cfm fan towards the rear of the case. it should be higher than the intake to create a windtunnel effect.
it also depends on the HSF used, Gemin for example needs a lot of intake air to get it to perform. IMO, an open case(cheapo or exp) has always better load temps compared to a well ventilated case. However, u'll get low downs in an open case, like higher VGA temps, poor ventilation ( obviously) and dust |

I have no idea why you got GeminiII when you could get something better, but heck, "nasi sudah jadi bubur". So, unless you want to leave your CM chasis open, then be ready for a higher temperature.The thing about GeminiII is that it's airflow is not direct. It blows unto the motherboard. The air is not directed out of the chassis. Conceptually, it cools other components on your motherboard, but Anandtech has proven that the difference is neglible. It does not do its primary job well especially with the configuration of chassis, and its secondary job is just a marketting gimmick. |

Seems like the installation and the illustration on their website beg to differ.[attachmentid=360481] If it draws the air out, that may serve its primary function well. But then, if only you have an open chassis. If you have a closed one, it is useless. |

Cheap Asus case w/ side panel open VS Cooler Master 690 w/ side panel closed So it means if I get 24C idle with the cheap casing, I should get around that with the 690. I tried swapping the fans and having low cfm fans on top and rear helps in giving better temps. I guess this is because high cfm fans creates turbulence near the area when both GeminII fans are busy blowing into the HSF. Plus, it creates a very loud disturbing noise.

Why don't you try turnng off all 3 fans (1 back exhaust and 2 top exhaust) and see if it makes any difference?

Good suggestion indeed I think I should but for now, I'll just leave it for a bit. I have been removing everything so many times within the week, sigh. I got the Gigabyte Superb 730W and then changed to the Gigabyte Odin 550W and not to mention those fan rearrangement.I'm getting 25C-27C idle and 51C-53C load which makes it very near to my cheap casing w/ panel opened. Solution is I had all high cfm fans at the bottom (blowing in) and rear/top exhaust fans are equipped with stock Cooler Master al-cheapo which comes with the 690. |

side ventilation tunnels are only good for coolers which are extrusion based or flower like.. not for heatpipe systems or gemini 2.. gemini 2 needs either an open casing or a very big casing

You're right because I'm using 1.39125Vcore now after I upped some FSB and it's giving me 55C load.How much does that Xigmatek costs and where can I buy it?
