that heat sink also using the push pin mechanism ??

if so it is really poor as the heatsink is so large and the fan isn't small in the same time ...

who come out with the idea using push pin really lack of sense in mind...

how would four small plastic could hold the heat sink firmly ... they need to go back to the design board... even though it is easier to install but actually not practical for after market heat sink unless in the low profile category only..

can any1 give me some recomendation?
i using stock heat sink

my cpu temp is 65c at full load, i just dontwan overheat at full load, idle temp is not important, temperature surrounded is 28c

my budget is RM150, and not tower casing, something like CM HYPER TX still can fit but Thermalright HR01 cant fit, any 1 can help pls?

(my rig)
asus P5B
C2D 6300
512mb RAM
galaxy 7300gt premium
160gb HDD
18x multi drive
380w CM extreme
cooler= stock heat sink

in that case just go for the hyper tx. or thermalright SI-120, SI-128
those are good hsfs

Yeah, for your budget, Hyper TX will be good enough to cool down your e6300... soulfly get quite nice result using the Hyper TX...but of course the casing uses and the air flow of your casing will bring different result lar...

casing should not be a problem because i using CM Elite 331, is a case the full of wind, hehe

the only problem is the cpu temp, cause i going for overclock to make a better performance, but now looks like it been slowing down when overheated, will be hang then ok then hang then ok

Then that is good lor...get yourself the Hyper TX, only RM135 from Moderno IIRC...lower than your budget...should be able to cooldown it even when OC...

yeah but please do consider the SI-120
seems to me that it contends very well compared to TT BT, and all that.
SI-128 would be even better with the fin density difference and all that.

yes..cm hyper tx is quite good..im using it for my rig..and if im not mistaken only 42 degree when full load..

jus wondering any guys using 3rd party hsf n running 3.6ghz for e6600 wat temp they got on air cooling?idle n load perhaps..

SI-120 sure is nice but is out of my budget, TT BT also out of budget , i saw them perform quiet good when i reading those post in heat sink round up , afterthen i realize that CM HYPER TX is almost same like HR-01, but the price different RM50, it should be perform like HR-01, so i think i going for HYPER TX





u using wat processor??


and i just wondering are there others hsf is cheaper than HYPER TX but good performance?? cause i wan to save money to buy CM extreme power 550watts

i think the HR-01 will still out-perform the hyper tx.
judging by the fin density and all that taken into consideration

yea, but it seems to be too expensive for me , so HR-01 is out of my budget , HR-01 is also my 1st interested hsf , but now the 2 problem on HR-01 for me 1)expensive 2)too tall

so i cant buy a hsf that cant fit in my case and out of budget , HYPER TX will be great but
i hate the helmet that change the direction of the hot air towards mobo.

Please tell me this is normal..

Proc: E6400 running stock
Mobo: Asrock 775Dual-VSTA
Casing: OPENUP
Thermal Paste : AS5
Ambient temp: 30c

Temp Idle : 48 / 46
TAT Full Load : 60 / 58

Temp measured in TAT and also CoreTemp.

IS this normal for my E6400.. i heard ppl doing idling at 30-40c. Ive tried reapply AS5 and almost get same result..

Thanks~

hrmm. my X2 3600+ @ 2.5ghz runs at ~35c on idle and ~72c on load.

i was like WTH!?!?!? idle and load also almost 40c apart ah?

oh well, i just installed my X2 unit and tested it this morning. just can't believe the temperature gap, usually i see idle and load like only 20c apart.

wow...different 37C...my Pentium D 820 @ 2.8GHz have 20C different I already very upset liao...to think your got that big gap... try to reinstall the HS...see got improve or not...

i rest assure you the heatsink don't have big gap, or else it wouldn't stay at 36c in the first place.

What heatsink you are using? If it is stock cooler, your result and temp is normal. Those stock or low end cooler cant disperse the heat fast enough during full load.

I am not saying your heatsink have big gap lar... I am talking about your temp... like you say in previous post, 37C is a big gap for the Idle and load temp...

k k sorry. misinterpret the message.

yes. very big gap.

now i on air-con, idle is 26c - 28c while load is around 63c - 65c

yeah, comes to about 37c also. my A64 also show only 20c gap.

oh well.....

nvm...sometime I misinterpret too...

You using stock cooler or 3rd party cooler? or the x2 is extreme hot when load...
