idea for the wbk38/fop38 owners, use your stock hsf clip instead ! so your processor wont be killd,

That may be a good idea. We don't carry Globalwin heat sinks because of the clip problems.

They really bite, don't they.

Changing the clip is playing with fire..... clips are designed for a certain heatsink thickness and and tensioned accordingly.... no matter how bad a clip on a HS is, for socket A, I would use it. When you switch clips, you have no idea how much you asre changing pressure by, and you may wind up with not enough pressure (bad). Many of you may be lucky and find a clip you like that works, but I am not going to risk frying my processor simply for clip ease. It's a better idea just to buy a HSF unit that has a good, easy to use clip (e.g. Taisol or Vantec).

Or you can get an MC462 that doesn't use a clip...;). Coolerguys has them in stock right now...

I used one from an old socket 7 cooler.

How do make the fan not so noisey ?

Thanks

to make it sound less then f-15 try to remove the protection bars from it,
i also removed the sticker, but it didnt really helpt :) hehe

polish the fan blades with very fine wet&dry paper.
make them shiny
it helps a little.
or u can mod them.
replace the fan on the delta with the fans off the YS tech fans.
i did it to mine and it is little more quite.
but the plus is the cfm`s.
the YS tech fans have a better fan blade design then the deltas.
and also change the bearings with the ys tech fan ones to delta.
better bearings.(more smooth)

GOD...
