hmm....

no fan for heatsink. ur pc temp will rise, try to find some fan to blow ur processor and graphic card.

if no go for water cooling sure will help.

the game i botting for 24hours is silk road online...
and i think my cpu really have no fans and i will go to buy a fans for my cpu soon...

I just got a new pc. Was wondering if it's normal for pc vendors to do modifications eg. cooling and overclocking, for customers.

Went to lowyat today, nobody seems to carry fans, except for Sri Computers which happens to be DIY. I look at the accessories area, I blur liao, dunno which is which and how to DIY.

Any recommendations of shops that can provide cooling solution?

open casing cover good....but will keep a lot of dust oh!!

i think u speak about uncle ianho..yes he got a miracle hand to change from the beast to the most beautiful case..go check at casing section for more details

Hi all.
Is it important to have the layer of someting like plastisin in between the heatsink and the processor?
I've removed the layer from the heatsink
my cpu temp is around 70~80 just after i start the pc and i cant install windows because it will just hang after loading some file from the windows xp cd.
any idea how to fix this?

i'm using pentium D duo core and stock heatsink

edit:spelling correction

well,the layer betweem ur proc and hsf is thermalpaste or thermalpad,u maybe not install the fan correwctly....
well,u have to reapply the thermalpaste,then make sure u clean ur fan,and make sure u fit the fan tightly and correctly on ur mobo there.

I also open my casing for ventilation.

Regarding dust problem, isn't it the same (open or close casing)? If close casing, the ventilation fans will still suck dust in, right?

he's the one,uncle Ian Ho!! (uncle King-Kong)
yup,open case will give a lot of dust one.

so u should get the filter...and also must clean the filter often ya...if not really will stuck oh....my casing jsut bought not over 1 week, i oredi can see those dust at the stock filter oredi.......-.-

hey guys, any nice filter to intro?

sifu2 here....wan 2 ask sumthin

my smartguardian show 50C idle,
but when in full load,it rise up to 74C...

i hv reapply my TIM and tighten the HSF....but still...

p/s: using scythe ninja...

If can take a photo of inside of your rig will be better...

The factor need to consider will be casing you using, the air flow inside, the cable management and some other minor factor which not easy to notice...

thx kataro..will post later..waiting for my camera....

erm,this problem only happen after i change my board and casing....

lian li pc-007
DFI P965-S

just change my stock HSF to third party HSF ( AC 64Pro ) .... using everest ultimate the reading shows that idle around 51C and full load (using stress test option) around 61C ??? any comment ??

Well, I not sure whether i ask in the correct place...
I would like to ask that whether a thermal compound like AS5 will expired? I have a AS5 where I bought it a year ago(IIRC..), so I not sure whether this thermal compound will perform the same like a brand new AS5 or its performances will be lower since it is already 1 year old...

Thanks for helping!

Last time akachester ask the same question before, I don't remember at which thread liao... anyway, it should be ok de even thought have been 1 year plus already... but I am not very sure... maybe you can try PM lolhalol or sup3rfly...

may I ask, wat's the temperature of your CPU when you were using your stock Intel HSF?

I don't know why, but even my DFI board also gives me a really really high temps eventhough i'm using swiftech watercooling for my E6420

It seems that DFI loves to report a really high temps.

Hmm, that's weird, mind to tell us your PC setup?

erm..ekceli i never use my stock HSF....but,this problem only occur with my new board...before this,using the gigabyte and even abit AB9....normal temp



woh...even watercooling still hv high temp?

Yerp, dunno why.
I think our DFI boards is using a temperature sensor chip that is kinda "gila"

Because when i touch the reservoir, the water is not hot at all.
It's really cold.

I've lapped my waterblock base and been reseating the waterblock three times, no improvement at all.
