erm...i think ur only choice is to get low profile hsf already.... i cant think of any hsf that can fit without hitting ur PSU... u try to go to the heatsink collection thread and find

Try to see and compare both of this test:-

with the fan 1200rpm, i think Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme is the best of all...

Anyone tested thermaltake v1? it looks cool with the copper fins. But does it cool as good as it looks?

I tried it out already( ThermalTake V1 ).
But I didn't have any screen capture to back it up. I will upload soon.

My processor is e4300 running 333 X 9, 1.275v.
Idling 35 and full load orthos cpu 59.
Any comment?

I see... How does the cooling performance compared to Thermaltake Big Typhoon 120VX.. I'm thinking of getting big typhoon...

Wish you didn't delete your casing pic.

I'm using the Thermaltake Matrix Linkhttp://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/midtower/matrix/vd2000.asp


Quite small, might not fit those huge HSF I see in around LYP.


I think the best method would be too just measure the empty space. Any idea how much headroom I shoulld have (for example like 2cm from the PSU?). I prefer not to change the casing if possible (there are benefits to having a small light casing in my case)

anybody tried the sunbeam's core contact freezer?
how does it perform side by side with S1283?

IMO, more thermal grease needs to be added to the base of those heatsinks.

The purpose of the grease is not merely for transmission of heat (conduction) but to bridge any gaps that will arise from the inherent imperfect fit between cooler and processor. Because equal load distribution is difficult to attain using the majority of coolers (screwdrivers don't usually have torque adjustability like automotive wrenches) - its a given that some heatsink/processor combos might not have perfect seating.

im looking for a hsf right now for my c2d..

wana use for oc 24/7 but not so hardcore n don want so noisy..

any to rekemen?

plan to get the thermalright hr05 sli for chipset...

hyper 212 is good and quite.
i got mine for 132 include postage.

the sunbeamtech ok o not?

tot of wana get those....

the current new king that i can see is sunbeam corecontact and deep cool killer whale... they both perform well

ccf is a must buy if u have the budget.

anyone been using xigmatek HDTD1284?is it good btw

hello and good morning!

i'm currently running on a asus p5ql-pro intel lga775 p43 chipset with a intel core 2 quad 2.83 ghz q9550. i've replaced my ori cpu intel heatsink/fan with a coolermaster v8 heatsink/fan. my enquiry is if the coolermaster v8 requires a higher input of power to fully utilize it? my current psu is a coolermaster extreme power 550w. please advice. TQVM!

the reason that i replaced my old heatsink/fan is due to the loud sound emitting from the fan and also that i notice an error from my bios indicating that my cpu is overheated.

any feedback on the cooling part is greatly appreciated, TQVM!

can i know the right way applying thermal paste for CM hyper 212+??

is there any wrong way?

the paste applying is diffrent due to the small space between then copper pipe and alu block?
