the main reason for me to get a chipset cooler is cuz
i want to be able to increase the vmch and vpll w'o much concern of ruining the mobo

is it really necessary actually?
*u tell me =P*

u might wanna dis Here
<-- and tht was an expensive asus motherboard.
for me, i'm also looking for 1 NB cooler.noctua nowadays nobody sell it already.my only choice is only the deepcool Nbridge8 and HR05 IFX.
i'm using P35 chipset, for me,after 400FSB above the NB becomes too hot to touch(never increase voltage yet).

correct.
i "was" using ip35E myself .... a p35 chipset too
until recently it went for RMA

wen i was trying to push more than 400fsb
i slowly increased the other V available
but on passive cooling for the chipset

i tink that was the reason dat spoilt my mobo
so now im being more cautious
and would like to learn more above chipset cooling

@ k!nex
great link~

erm....actually i am quite confused myself about the NB temp limit

cos i have seen 3 opinions so far...

one saying that better to keep ur Nb below 45c or it will cause instability...

another saying that it is ok already if u can keep it at around 50-ish....

lastly is a comment that i have seen from senior forummer saying that it is capable of withstanding temp till 70c or so...



but just to tell u, my DK software always show my mobo Nb running at 50ish...n use till so far it dont have problems yet

n my mobo always run more than 400fsb

do you try to increase the nb volt before ?

im not sure whether i have a sensor for my NB
but by physical touch....its quiet hot

i've compared it wen its "cold"..."warm" and "hot" state
there is significant difference.

so wat is actually the safe limit for NB temp & Vmch?

from wat i heard, the first opinion applies for those X38 chipsets or maybe X48.they will hv instabilities if running too high temps.thts y u see all of them are using more decent cooling solution.

ur last comment, i seen before ppl posting their Asus P5Q Pro (P45 chipset),the NB at 70C when load.motherboard still ok.

any comment on the coolermaster geminii S cpu cooler?

i have to agree with k!nex... my maximus nb will cause instability if above 47 or so..... when below that temp.... no problem at all....

i jes found out that NB shudn't be above 60'ish
is this mobo dependent?
meaning to say diff mobo give diff NB reading at same condition
*provided they use the same cooling*

anyways.....abit spam here

argh i can't decide which one to buy!!!both also good

depends on the sensor i think.some motherboard dun even hv NB temperature sensor especially mid range and lower end ones.in tht case, u hv to measure the temp urself already.

both oso good.. but make fitting factor as ur consideration first before buy it

which makes me more headache as i want to buy biostar tpower..

BOTH COOLER ALSO NGAM WITH IT!!!

@k!nex

ic....no wonder =P

Killer Whale is better performing

since coolice haven't post the result of CCF vs KW yet, so i'm still undecided whether to choose which one.

erm...instability as in? bsod or orthos fail? or hang? really curious nih

erm....go for killer whale if u have a good casing ventilation n a gc that blows outward....

not true ler..... nvr once the Kw beat the CCf

now this makes me more blur in choosing the KW or CCF

depends la.... kw got bling but ccf got no bling.....

n built quality wise, i can say kw is alot more better than ccf....its more solid....

n kw also less likely to be clash with heatsinks around it... but one thing to note here, KW is not small itself....it surprised me when i first saw the size....

installation wise, i still rate kw ahead of ccf altho there are some feedback saying its hard to install....

unistallation, nothing beats ccf so far.....just pull the 4 pins with ur fingers n then u are ready to take it out.......
