Electronic shop. or DIY with aircond filter, panty hose, car sunshade.

Lolz..dun wan DIY..

I've seen fan filters by Termaltake, Nexus and other brands..
I also found that ppl recommend buying fan filters from uglyvamp at http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=837743&hl=

No one here uses fan filters??

has anyone tried replacing cm gemini fans with cm 90cfm fans?
how is the performance? any significant increase in cooling performance?

how about the sunbeam CCF, how am i gonna attach it to a lga1366 socket? any extra things i have to buy or DIY things i have to do?

So how often do you clean the inside of your comp? 

arct / xigmatek sd-964 / tuniq tx2 / intel e6750 G0 @ 3.4Ghz (27.63% overclock) / vcore 1.38v / xigmatek stock 92mm fan and nmb 92mm (push-pull config) / idle: 38C / load: 58C / non-AirCond / OCCT V2.0.1

btw i cant get past 430FSB even with any settings or increased voltage, could it be the prob of my proc / mobo / psu.

hi, i'm thinking of changing my cooler. currently using thermaltake tmg i2.

here are my needs:

- good/decent cooling, no need so 'geng'
- budget around RM100 or less
- have LEDs, for bling-bling inside my casing
- uses pushpins like the intel stock cooler, so i don't need to remove my motherboard to mount it.
- doesn't weigh too heavy

CCF pushpins are a little different...i dont think that its that bad...since so many in this thread uses them
besides CFF you can use S1283 with SS kit.....i wont recon the archilies..coz that in the other hand might not fit in your CM elite(you have to leave your side cover open)
red scorpion is basically S1283...but will cost more with the LED fans...so i'd recon if your budget is tight..better go for S1283 with SS kit
btw..if you want something cleaner...why not go liquid? im going to change mine to liquid soon already (prolly today itself coz the kit arrive dy) .....(does this mean that im barred from this thread    )

true..and a little more maintainence are required as compared to heatsink fan....i went ahead for the thermaltake bigwater...but got heartbroken when i read the reviews after purchasing XD....im doing the leak test now..hopefully it will work as good as my arctic freezer 7 pro or better....gonna do some lapping later...

anyways..if you want hassle free...air-cooling is still the best cooling solution for budget and performance

I have read lots of threads regarding this matter and most ppl say that 50C is high at idle. Most of them get below 40C 

If you're not going to overclock the i7, I would say CCF is value for money but like me I want the lowest temperature possible while getting the highest overclock speed on air, TRUE120 is indeed worth every single cent.

@tkh, have you tried to compare CCF and TRUE yourself? Since you're using TRUE on your system and selling CCF. Why don't you do the test on C2Q system and share the results here.

to me, price/performance does not apply in heatsinks... i want the best of the best
hdt is actually better than TRUE's design... TRUE, or most thermalright coolers, ARENT flat... dats y people resort to lapping it... google it and u will c, many complain TRUE didn't do a good finishing job on the base... but jz imagine, TRUE not yet lapped oredi pwn ccf, wat more when its lapped

from the looks of the thermal paste after removing the heatsink, its easily said that the heatsink isnt "curved" enough to have a high pressure on every part of the proc.... aka, contact aint that good

i just lapped my e8400 and my Hyper 212 today.

will upload a new result on weekend........too bad i dont have a camera to snap the pic.
the proc wasnt to mirror like but close enough.
the grit use

400>600>800>1000>1500>2000

haha speaking of lapping ><.....my liquid kit (bigwater SE) actually had the same temps with freezer7pro lapped....sigh...i switched back to air...wanna sell this liquid kit

got it from intel@atom.

its a review unit actually but come fullset.

yep.

thats the one.

i get it for RM140 but dont know bout their retail price.
and last time i check, Acey koko but her True Black for RM335.

My question:
Your answer:
Wa..means you suggest me to turn my speakers louder during the night??
Dah la I dun like the noise by the fans..summore wan me turn on speakers louder LOL

My parent's room is near my PC, so they can hear the noise produced by the fans. Although they dun mind but still its disturbing lolz..

as5.. when cure.. the thermal paste needs to be dry.. hard
gc1, tx2 must be more sticky , watery like .. say after few days etc.. if not then u applied too little
mx2.. is like half half.. sticky but more to dry..

currently my fav.. gc1 a bit suprised..
got it only because tx2 ran out.. and cex only had this the other day..

a lot of review out there.. make it reviewer are pretty stupid on application and they apply the same way for all tim when compared..

so always remember that.

Gelid GC1 is very good actually, using it myself and pair wif thermalright ultima-90i very good result.
