i jus mean to hear more opinion from others. For sure it will be ok if install now. For me i earn hard to get my rig. So b4 i get sumthing i research n ask more n more info sin.Hope u will understand. Jus share opinion no harm wan.

so far my icute casing is big enuff n i hides all the cable at sides. My casing side panel is oso opened.

as far as i know , some heatpipes cooler must let the pipe end face up for optimum performance .

u mean like baring the cpu den the heatsink face up so tat the heat air flow out better ?

meaning the heatpipe must facing against the gravity (facing upwards)... but this shouldn't be a problem... it has been taken care of... u can mount the heatsink anyway u want

merry christmas

anymore opinion ???????

ermm

hav fans bringing in fresh air n another fan at rear to exchaust out hot air?

n wer did u check the temp? n aso do tell us ur pc spec n prefer some pic as well of ur casing

again my spec a. las time i post it here wif another title. Rili wana know ?

bro u definately DO NOT have to worry bout heavy hsf breaking ur mobo, as most hsfs nowdays are designed dat way, a little commen sence would tell u that companies would not be realeasing hsfs that break mobos, my personal opinion, best bet if u looking for a compact and real value for money is try and see if u can get the si-120/128 , or artic cooling freezer. DO NOT in any way buy a all in one wc kit, but if u must , best one imo is the aquagate mini r120 small and compact. also as somepeople have mentioned , to start a nice wc kit is 600, that is bs, (no oofence yeah) u need at least 1000 for a kit that performes well, because u can buy a kit for 600 from swiftech or dd, but will be beaten by a highend hsf that only costs 1/3 of the price, not to mention constant maintainence / checking/ cleaning for the wc parts. look at my sig and u will see a wc rig worthy of anybodys money. which can be had for little over 1200. (im not selling off by the way) .

what lolhalol said is correct.. dont have to worry that much about the weight unless it is 1kg above or you love to shake your casing violently 3rd party heatsink nowadays is perfectly safe to use..

for your case, i think it is better for you to go for Air Cooling. Water Cooling need regular maintainance and it is expensive. Cheap water cooling dont do much for your cpu, alot of high end air cooling can easily beat them as said by other forummer.

High End Air Cooling Brand (proven effective): Thermalright Ultra/XP Series, Scythe Infinity/Ninja, Noctua NH-U12, Tuniq120 and etc

if u worry about the height of the heat sink, go for something smaller lo. i just bought myself a Scythe Andy Samurai Master from sg.. it is 120mm in height and weight around 600g+++ about the performance, i havent test it... but should be ok lo since it is from Scythe. haha..

now everyone hav give their opinion everything to u..even recommendation

jus browse around n see wat fits ur budget

btw noctua NH-U12 at bulk by irangan is such good value..if can fit ur casing its a good buy n support support abit laa

thx for your support

been using hyper 6 which is heavy on my secondary rig since early 2005... juz remove it when u want to move ur rig to other places which is far... like upstairs or to another address to prevent accident... it wont break ur mobo... just handle with care when moving the case around...

hyper 6 isnt that big.
imagine me with the Scythe Infinity and a 38mm fan attached to it with the lousy LGA 775 mounting. ow that's a horror, but my board is still alive

Have been using Hyper 6+ (Damn huge HSF) for few months, no problem at all.
Coz all these damn HUGE HSF comes with Universal Retention Bracket(stick damn hard to ur MOBO), so wont be a problem dude.

just wonder which is the heaviest heatsink around these days...
just noticed Zalman Fatal1ty FS-C77, weighs 918g , damn so much for fully copper, onli 82g more to go 1kg

haha... i forgot which brand is that already.. but i saw a heatsink on review in MadShirmp. it is 1kg++

- double post - stupid streamyx

yeah, wonder got any other heatsink that can beat it's weight... imagine ultra-120 or noctua are fully copper

haha.. if that is the case, i dont think that it can sell well. fully copper ultra or noctua going to break your mobo for sure.
