bro, u sure u using sd963 or sd964? cuz the pic u posted is showing a sd964 with 4 heatpipes.

btw tunix really could do that good? im having a sd964 now and im using the stock thermal paste it came with. (kinda hook the xigmatek hsf up to my rig in a rush and didnt order any other thermal paste cuz i need to go back hometown from my hostel that time),

my proc is e6750 oced to 3.2ghz (400x8); vcore:1.35, idle temp is 33-37 (depends on room temp), while full cpu stress temp is 59-60. no aircond.

so i would just like to know is it really worth it that i should get the tunix or just stick with what i have now. thanks!

i read all of those reviews. i even go find extra reviews online... im just using the thermal paste that came bundled with my sd964, which i dont even know what thermal paste it is.. dont know if i should change it or not cuz im really lazy to take eveything out again, so far temp is ok i think (or maybe not, will do research again. ). btw i got the sd964 for rm140. i guess i'll use the bundled paste till my next semester and then i'll decide if i would want to buy tuniq or not. goodluck with ur oc

alot of fans there.

lol, i never expect the answer to be "rape".

i used brasso to polish my bike chrome parts to make it shine shine!

i see no difference when i changed to tuniq tx2 and even added another fan as push-pull config... the only difference is that im short RM45...

here's my case... its cap ayam (avf) casing.

red arrows are exhaust, green is intake. i know my cable management sucks, but because of the cap ayam casing im using, i've nowhere to hide all those cacings except putting them under the cdrom bay.

fan models are in my siggy unless its cap ayam one.



even with side panel off, there's not much difference with temperature drop. (cpu only drop 1 degree), wherelse mobo temp still same.

the way i applied tim is like the guide on how to apply tim on hdt as shown on the first page of this thread.

thanks!

my front case fan is a high flow fan. according to specs, at 12v it could push 103cfm. but since its kinda loud i've mod it with 3 way switch so it could run at quieter 5v mode. i've tried with 12v and 5v during stress test. cpu temp wont change much but mobo temp will drop a one or couple degrees when running at 12v mode.

i tried with either one or both of my 80mm fans off. when either one or both of the 80mm fans are off, there's a noticable / feelable air pressure coming out from the side in between the 92mm and the 80mm fans. when both 80mm fans were on the effect is gone. so i guess the 2 fans are exhausting the way they should be.

i did remount my hsf again cuz i try to interhange the pwm connectors of my two 92mm fans. the tim was well covered as i can see (i did the proc size markings like the guide did too and the coverage is alright).

i guess in the end maybe my hsf isnt really that good afterall. (jeez, in frostytech the temp of this hsf is one of the top ten tho..) or maybe its my capalang casing. (which is another reason why i bought this hsf becaues it has lower profile... i couldnt buy any hsf higher than 150mm cuz my casing is very narrow... )

will try to stress my comp tonight and record temps.

anyway thanks!

arct / xigmatek sd-964 / tuniq tx2 / intel e6750 G0 @ 3.2Ghz (20 % overclock) / in bios vcore set to "normal"; EIST and C1E enabled / xigmatek stock 92mm fan and nmb 92mm (push-pull config) / idle: 34C / load: 54C / non-AirCond / OCCT V2.0.1

idle pic:


load pic:

but the thing is, it is no difference with my previously used stock xigmatek thermal paste and one push fan config. so financial wisely i just spent rm18 for tuniq tx2 and rm20 for the nmb 92mm fan.

both my pull and push fans were pwm controlled. the rpm are kinda similiar depends on my proc and mobo voltage / temp. but most the time my pull fan is slightly faster than my push fan. but since its a thicker fan compared to my push fan i assume its pulling more cfm than my push fan. hmmm will maybe consider lapping when my proc warranty is finished.


its the same way how u put the fan onto the hsf. just push and pull the other way from the way u put it in.

@teamloks
nice! how you do that?? 3.7ghz and its only 49c load.

and i cant oc to 3.6ghz (which i want to). my proc is only stable when vcore is set to 1.444... which is abit high i think. i see some forumers with e6750 could hit 3.6ghz with less than 1.4v... how do you guys do that?

btw what's the difference between realtemp and coretemp?

realtemp shows 5 degrees less than my coretemp.

@teamloks

wuuu nowonder, ure using E0 stepping e6750...

-added- hey wait, why there's 10 degree difference btwn ur cpu temp on ur bio watch and coretemp?

im using occt, i have orthos, everest, etc etc too.

from what i see; occt, everest and coretemps' cpu temperature all shows the same reading. why realtemp's temp shows 5 degrees less? so which is more accurate as i see some forumers here use realtemp's reading.

thanks! but im using e6750 which is a 65nm proc, did intel mention anything bout its tjmax temp? thank again.

afaik, they dont test theirs hsf on any proc or computers, at the moment their site seems to be down and i cant access it, but there's a link to their "methodology", where they show u their testbeds.

for high peformance fans i think we could get from AllnGap or niclasteoh. i got mine from AllnGap, he does sells delta fans --> 200++cfm

heheh bro u forgot mine,

seems like it has turned out to be an oc discussion here. well i have a question too, i know its always best to run at 1:1 ratio, but for my current settings, i could only hit 400 FSB if i wanna keep my vcore at normal value, if i wanna hit more than 450 FSB i'll have to increase my vcore; which i dont want to.

so my question is, should i change my ratio to 5:6 so that my ram would be oced to 960mhz? cuz from everest memory benchmark it indeeds shows improvements in bandwidth and latency. but its running in 5:6 ratio.

my specs are as shown in my sig, and i am expecting my gtx285 soon, and i guess my cpu and rams would be the bottleneck factor for it, so i would just like to squeeze alittle bit more out from my rams. so would changing to 5:6 ratio thus making my rams to run at 960mhz(or more) would increase my pc performance?

or should i stick back with my current 1:1 ratio?

thanks!
