If ur mobo comes with MOBO utility software such as Asus, Gigabyte and MSI ... u could try it out ... usually it support temperature and fan monitoring..

or maybe u should clean up the heatsink and the fans.... after that apply a thin and even layer of AS5....

@mADmAN

agree with him.... the VIZO is Vantev with new brand name ... the same performance and noise level....

somehow it would be nice if the RPM could be lowered down .... it push lots of CFM...

can try silverstone FM 121 12Cm fan that comes with speed control..

CFM:110
RPM:800~2400

There are two type of thermal paste in the market ... one is ceramic which is in white color ... another is in silver color

Famous thermal paste would be Artic Silver 5, Cooler Master Nano Fusion and Zalman STG1.

U could get the all 3 from bulk order while 2 and 3 from LYP ..

instruction of applying can be found in official website...

Some people here didn't have experience in doing house work....

i thought we are help to help the thread starter .....

it's good it has solved ... so what's the trick ??

share with us here .... forum meant to be sharing ....

I would thought of the same ... busy monitoring the temperature only ...

hahaha that's a brilliant way of solving it .... HyperTX indeed nice.....

Why not when u are having a case with poor ventilation that cycle hot air repeatedly.

second possibility is ur cooler might not work properly anymore... check with the ATI Tool of the fan usage.

if the fan is always low of course the temperature would shoot up...

anyway 100c for X800XL is not possible only the latest X1800n series and up would have such result...

Come one men .. it would be hard to even to replace the fan ......

that's the main reason keeping me using ThermalRight products ...

some more it is easier to clean the heatsink .... dump to water and wipe off to bring that the shinning fins ....

no offense just sharing my sense ....

where's the thread starter ????

show some photos of the case look and the graphic card....

else hard for others to help out ...

i stick with my HR-01 ... so far the result is more than satisfaction ... and noise level ...

feel like almost none... besides the GPU area of course ....

Go visit lowyat loh .... i saw it at MyPC last week and some more some one was buying it ...

too bad didn't asked the price as just want to pass by only...

Can't wait to see it in action on our forumer case.....

anyway sHawTY .. any pciture of ur current setup ....

come on ... with the rig u have a simple DC also can't afford meh ???

3 or 4++ can get a nice 4.0 to 5.0 MP DC loh ...

Hand phone also can ....

aio... what a shame ... but can borrow friends DC or DC hp .. .

532 will do if u really are in tight budget .... but i would personally suggest to go for Lian Li PC7 for RM 308... the air flow would be better as the HDD cage doesn't block much airflow as the CM 532... but there would be slight noise when using lian li hdd cage... it does not absorb or prevent the vibration much ...

i own both of the case before

Yah i have the same problem with any cooler that use push pin .. it loosen when the case been move around . even for very short distance ...

it just not that easy to secure it properly.. if it is original intel heatisnk it's still fine as not too heavy ..

i really don't understand why they even implement the push pin design as it is not suitable for heavy cooler ....

i think most of the manufacturer test it on the board that lay on top of something instead mount in vertical direction ...

the damage would be really serious gc, chipset cooler, and the most precious the casing ... coz once scratch there's hardly return for it ...

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..
