I Have a question , need some help too . I hv USP100 CM casing with metal sidepanel . I bought the 90cfm 120mm cm fan , when i use the fan as intake on sidepanel it make very noise sound but if i put it as exhaust then it is silent .

Guys and gals,

Anyone here have experience on the Arctic F12 fan ? Just wanted to ask what do you think of the static pressure, cfm, noise etc

Sifus, want to ask something...
The Cooler Master V6/V6GT vs Xigmatek Scorpion, which one better???

Hi guys, can recommend any heatsink for my old PC?

P4 2.4Ghz, socket 478, stock fan.
Idle = 39 degree
Full load = 61 degree

p.s.
Idle = not doing anything with computer for 15 minutes
Full load = run Prime95 torture test for 15 minutes

The main reason I wanna replace is noisy fan is killing me! Already 6 years and I've had enough!!!

Looking for a quiet fan.
Budget: Around RM 100 (This PC I just for usual daily works, I already have anotehr new PC that's why won't put too much budget in this)

how about this?..

Thermalright

u need to ask seller on the Garage sales,some of them doing a clear stock for it..

"SPECIFICATIONS

Compatibility:

AMD: Athlon 64 FX 3200+ (socket 939/940) / Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 754) and above

But mine is only P4 2.8Ghz.

can i know how to applying thermal paste for CM hyper 212+??

apply on your proc only no nid to apply on 212+

=)

Thanks bro but I couldn't find the different between 2.8 and 3.2 Ghz for 478.
I wonder why the requirement base on the processor speed?

Any other recom? coz I not sure it can used on my comp, it's 120mm, and it says 3.2Ghz and above.

What's different between ThermalRIGHT and ThermalTAKE???

Ignore that, it doesn't matter if you use a 2.8GHz or a 3.2GHz processor.
If it's made Socket 478, then it's bound to fit in all Socket 478, no matter what speed you use.

If you can find used Thermalright XP-120, then that's the best heatsink for Pentium 4 Socket 478 processors.

Different brands, different company.
It has no similarities.

Thanks a lot.
Any idea where can I get these fan for 478?

I went to a shop the only socket 478 they got are CNPS 9500.

Howabout Thermalright XP-90? coz I found one in the internet. Can give some comment on it?

Thermalright XP-90 is also good.
The only downside of XP-90 is you can only use 90MM fan.

Remember this fact, the smaller the fan, the noisier they are.

I suggest you buy this:

Thermalright SI-120 may not be as good as Thermalright XP-120, but it performs better than Thermalright XP-90.
Plus, you can use a 120MM fan on it, better airflow, lower noise.

You don't have to buy a high speed fan for it, just low speed would be good enough.

Also, don't even bother buying that Zalman CNPS 9500, it's crappy.
I know a lot of Zalman fanboys wouldn't agree with me but to me, all Zalman heatsinks is crappy.

Hey guys,

I've googled around and have gotten different answers.so I'd just like to confirm here.

Is it necessary to apply thermal paste on the processor (LGA 1156,Core i5) if I'm using the stock cooler?Also would using thermal paste of another brand like Arctic Silver instead of the one bundled with the intel processor and stock cooler make a significant difference in keeping the CPU temperature low?Thanks.

Hi, Any recommendation for heatsink price around 200++.

Processor Q9550

Casing CM690 II Plus

Thank You.

Hi bros, need you guys to check the base of my xigmatek hsf. please refer to the pic.



I've circled it with red circles. I lapped this sometime ago, and I'm afraid this is the sign that I've lapped it too much. What do you guys think? And wonder whether this effect its performance. Thx for the advice

Note: Sorry for poor quality pic, only have phone camera.

hey man, sorry for not updating

will do it asap after i am free tonite

thanks for the contribution

hmm..cant really tell

but seems like oxidation to me

assuming if its just minor oxidation, it wont be likely to affect the performance imho

performance kacau when the hsf is dirty or when the fluids in the pipes leaked

Is there any way to tell that I've lapped it too much?

i wonder who's going to bringin Thermalright silver arrow..
