this is maybe true if u are talking bout on stock vcore bro... but if OCing with higher voltage e8xxx has no prob at all to hit 4.0ghz.... the hard part only comes when u are hitting 4.2 n beyond

Just wanna share some pics of my red scorpion....











dont mind the cable...messy la...

if u put like tat wouldnt all the hot air will go into the psu ?...i think this gonna affect the psu temp also

well thats the only way too put the red scorpion on my mobo....i cant change the position since amd design mobo is like that not like intel based mobo u can which u can direct it to ur rear fan...
i just need to make a hole on top of my casing for another exhaust fan...

bro... temp improvement by how much ar when u put extra fan compared to single fan

well i cant really say coz brisbane procs have temp detecting issue la...ask any other brisbane user they'll give the same answer...



this is what i get when full load

with the red scorpion and battle axe......the temperaturs for the cpu and gpu seems same as before...please give some advice or it;s just normal.
the temperatures are in room temp..

your fan speed run at fullspeed?

never change the fan speed before, i dont know how to change it but i wish to know...can teach me??

try look for fan control in your bios..try disable it

This is what i saw in the BIos,
Current system temperature 51'C
Current CPU temperature 55'C
Current CPU Fan Speed 1433RPM
Current Power system fan speed 0 RPM
Current Power FAn speed 0RPM

CPU warning temp [diasable]
CPU FAn fail warning [disable]
System FAn fail warning [disable]
power fan warning [disable]
cpu smart fan control [enable]
cpu smart fan mode [auto]
system smart fan control [enable]


should i change anything? change the cpu smart fan control?

cpu smart fan mode [auto] change to manual
system smart fan control [enable] disable

after disable the cpu smart fan control, the cpu smart fan mode not allow me to do any changes and it showed cpu smart fan mode [PWM]...
before i disable the cpu smart fan control the cpu smart fan mode allow me to change to (auto/voltage/PWM)

i think its time for u to get a new casing which the psu is place at the bottom

just disable the cpu smart fan control

its either u change ur casing or change or mobo dude hehehe....

so bro, what is ur reading before this?? so how much drop from the previous hsf??

aah ah how much drop ah u guys?
mine before running with stock intel hsf at 3.3ghz wif 1.35 vcore = around 53-55c
with xigmatek drop to 43-45c (on load)

thats a high drop in temps fesick.....really nice improvement there Maybe u can get it to go lower perhaps

Mine, e6600 @ 3Ghz

before @ stock Intel c2d HSF

Idle: 45+/-
Load: 70

After @ Xigmatek red Scorpion

Idle: 35+/-
Load: 55+/-

The HDD temps are lower too, thanks to the airflow going from the front of the case to the back (case fan-->hdd-->xigmatek-->rear fan)

Gonna try a higher overclock, and maybe re-sit/re apply paste (artic silver 5) across the pipes now instead of the current parallel direction. Mayyyybeeeee laa..if got time...
