hehe i thought it will drop around 10-15C coz i use the AC MX-2 thermal compound..huhu

GeminII good meh?or is it depends on the fan u use on it?some ppl said the heatpipe too long to reach the alluminium heatsink..erm btw wat do u mean by 'lapping'?

Aiyak, not that big difference la.But overall your gain is good. Anyway,if you lapped your processor, it'll become like one in my avatar

More info read here - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...3027&hl=lapping

Lapping is to get your processor have a very flat surface so the surface is fully contact with the HSF thus dissipatin heat better.

lol..how much the temp difference after u lapped ur proc?

Whoa that drastic temp drop just by changing thermal compound, is it possible ? Temp is all depends on the case airflow

GeminII is good because you get to use dual 120mm fan I'm using Delta H from AllnGap. Great fan, doesn't have any regrets of buying it. The heatpipe is long but I don't see it touches anywhere

There'll be some differences in thermal conductivity using different compounds but ain't that significance. Only when paired with a good cooler provided very good airflow then only the temperature drop will increase.

As for significance temperature drop, my MaxOrb manage to get 10-12C drop on load from the initial stock cooler. And only using Themaltake compound that comes with the MaxOrb.

the 10-15C drop i expect is after change from stock hsf to Volar hsf include changing the thermal compound not only changing the thermal compound in the stock intel hsf

anyway hows the noise of ur Delta H?

Noise ? Barely hear any of it with ceiling switched on. If ceiling fan switched off, then only I'll hear the sound but it is not so noisy

Should be much quieter than Vizo I assume.

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch quieter than windstorm. Even my Sanyo Denki H Series which produced more than 110cfm provide lower (much) noise than Vizo Windstorm.

i have an old pc at home running prescott 2.4GHz on the stock HSF.
at 4000rpm fan speed, the temp at idle is already 65-69'C and the HSF is hot too ...
ermm, not much dust on the HSF were seen ...

do u guys think upgrading it to AC freezer 7 pro can help ?
anybody tried AC freezer 7 pro on prescott ?

err...guys, is 63 degrees normal when loading?(running 3d mark)...i'm kinda worried bout this new intel proc...the heat sink is only 1/3 size from the older versions of C2D....i'm using wolfdale E8200 2.66....idle bout 47 degrees

hullo guys..
wanna ask..im using dfi lanparty dk t2rs mobo and has oc my 6750 to 2.9GHz..my prob is d bios is showing diferent reading from everest..my bios shows cpu temp is aroun 38-40..but after start up everest reading is as much as 55..y ha?if i oc a bit more, say 3GHz then it would hang..
thx for ur help

@tanuki
As long as it doesn't hang it should be fine ,,, of course trying different temperature reading application or another third party cooler would be possible way to determine the accuracy of the temperature result u have got right now..

@matyrze
Running stock cooler ?? u could try speedfan or coretemp to verify everest result...

i used speedfan..n it shows d same reading as everest..and for the cooler i use xigmatek s1283

anyone tried Ac freezer 7 pro on prescott 2.4GHz ?

@matyrze
If u are getting consistent result from difference software ..

then it would be be u try to re mount ur cooler with good thermal paste from Artic Cooling or Artic Silver or Even Tuniq ...

@mmohdnor
Are you sure Freezer 7 Pro could be mounted on P4 478 socket coz if not mistaken Prescott 2.4 Ghz should be using socket 478 ..

hope I'm wrong ...

oops typo ...should be 2.8GHz prescott LGA775 ..

orait i will try 1 good TIM later..thx

Try da TX-2..... It will do da job....

how bout TX-1?i got it bundled with my tuniq tower,or shud i replace it with tx-2?is there lots of different?
