thanks for the advice evelione. Appreciate it veli much. Mmm i have to measure my casing size den onli i dcide a suitable heatsink.


Walaoweh full copper oso cha did did 1kg. Den if it is intalled ur cpu will weight 3 kg lol plus all the harddisk,mobo,psu and all those parts.
Thanks

ya measure it nicely before deciding. most important is the maximum height your casing can support.

what casing u using anyway?

my wan is a mid tower casing brand is icute. Front wan got a 12cm fan. OMG today went to low yat n c heatsink. The heatsink i choose cannot fit in my mobo. The guy recommend me change case pulak.Sayang lerrr change case.

yo guys, dont run off the topic here.
cases belong in the csaing and mod section
alot of nice people can help u out there

can't fit? which heatsink u bought? TTBT? does ur case have fan on the side panel? usually it should fit any high tower heatsink if the case have 120mm rear fan

go get a shorter heatsink like my andy samurai

i am using ICute casing too, it is too small for those high end heatsink.

Good recommendation.Deng have to choose a new heatsink. Zalman heatsink have nice design n look solid. Duno how bout its performance. Any idea?
Way u guys tink bout the zalman orb wan.

errr... i dont think anyone will recommend you a zalman CPU cooler here. personally i dont think zalman CPU cooler will perform as well as other brand that same price with it.

agree with irangan..furthermore....most of the reviews abt zalman hs be it cpu or vga etc mention that its noisy

im going to buy cnps 9700. is 20dB noisy? i dont think so.

noone is preventing you from buying that. we just voicing our opinion on zalman cpu cooler. no point get offensive here. if u want to buy it, pls do so and do inform us about the performance compare to those cooler from other company.

20Db noisy?

That's freaking silent liao...

But still, i don't really trust zalman cpu heatsink [except zalman GPU heatsink ]

provided its really 20db....normally what i do is add 10% for db and minus 10% for cfm....rough benchmark...anyway got no equipment to test just use ear n see rpm thru monitoring s/ware...

20dB!!! damn that is silent... i can withstand till 30-40dB cause:

1. always hear mp3 using headphone, live in my own world, even a bomb explode outside my room also cannot hear

2. when not hearing mp3, my ceiling fan is more noisier, so no point if i make a silent pc while my ceiling fan is noisy

zalman sink should be ok laa the performance..but silent is the selling point..

the 9700 wat wat edition..nickel plated one wid green led damn cun

wa 40db also can tahan.....maybe get a scythe s flex ceiling fan

still can tahan... no point making silent pc when my room isn't silent at all

guys when ui was down in sg recently i paid a visit to uglyvamps shiop....heaven for cooling fans fans... neway we were testing out a sound measuring thingi at hios place yeah...and at a very quite spot the ambient db was 70 so 20 db is very very silent.... but at home i am placing the ambient db at 30~40 db

Finally i able to reduce my pc temp. But duno is a happy or sad story. THe story begins like tis i mai say i go ask bout cpu heatsink den those ppl ask me to change casing. Den i mai get a new casing lor. Mana tau when balik rumah i discover the heatsink blok my comp capasitors. .At the same time my power logic psu hangkang . Frustated to it i straight forward go it hypermarket get a bigwater 735 wc n a cooler master 430w psu.Go home install it n the temp reduce from 61idle temp to 49-50c idle temp. But when test at lowyat the temp decrease veli fas may b is dey got air con.

But guys rili appreciate u ppl help for advice. Bravo so good we can share share xperience. But cant share share money use
