i just dropped my cpu temp 19 degrees C

[mujgy]

all i did was scrape the pads of my 1.4 partionly fryed (a mishape in water cooling ah da water wetter ate threw the styrofoam resivior) i think but my dd waterblock lost its solder seal thats how hot it was but the cpu itself is fineish not as stable as before and the pads melted to the block so off they went and then well put a layer of as then a copper shin then some more as and then the sk6 with the ystech fan and now 34degrees instead of 53-56 :( and its holding that 34 running seti and 100% load im happy time for 1.63 agian before the ah fire oh yeah case temp 21-22-23 mostly 22

did i mention im happy

wait sad now 35 but how can i complain ;)

[nikhsub1]

What? I don't think I understand one word you are saying!

[mota]

Again in english this time please.

I think dude was born in the US. His use of vernacular and the way he puts his words together is definitely homegrown. Slow down and spell bro.:)

Hey, there is nothing wrong with the American education system. You only get out what you put in.

I will admit that pre-high school education leaves alot to be desired, and even high-school isn't as good as it could be, but American colleges are second to none.

If you can't make it to college, you don't deserve a good money-making job.

I can't stand it when people say "u" or "r" or "c" instead of words, and unessecary abbreviations. Is it really THAT hard to type "you" or "see"? Is it really THAT hard to use proper punctuation and spelling? Is it really THAT hard to sit down in class and learn proper grammar? Jeez.

[-=HN=- Wild9]

wow not one use of punctuation in that paragraph either!:D

[DennisMV]

Hey, humm :) glad ya's happy :)

[mujgy]

Jeez thanks alot

Sorry, i was just happy, but what i did was remove the pads on my t-bird. This cpu was overheated once, this damaged the pads, also it melted the solder on my danger den water block. That is how hot it was.

Anyway, I then scraped the pads off with my exacto knife, applied arctic silver to the ceramic part, put the copper shim on, put more arctic silver on the shim, also on the core. Finally I mounted my sk6 heatsink and ys-tech fan.

The temp now at 1600mhz is 42 C however it was 34-35 ish at 1400.

There that better! ;)

That's MUCH better, but there's still some stuff to iron out. =)

I'm just joshin' ya.

Ok, so what I've gathered is that somehow you mismounted your waterblock, resulting in melted pads and liquidized solder ( :eek: )?

[*JEREMY*]

Thats good temps for that speed dude,mine were actually worse with a shim.

[mujgy]

I fixed it even more then when you read it but no.

What happened was, I'm guessing, is that the water wetter that I added to the system ate threw my styro foam container. This resulted in no water being pumped, resulting in overheating, resulting in the melting of the solder on my Danger Den Water Block. However to my displeasure the bios did not shutdown the system, I had set it to do so at 60 degrees C.


jeez so much effort to type correctly ;)

[ol' man]

Hey mujgy where in North Dakota are you from?

Me and like two others here are from the Fargo area:)

[Thelemac]

Cool it guys. You're getting a bit out of line here.

[The Overclocker]

i have seen temp drops of around 1-3 degrees from removing the feet, however i need mine to keep the shim in place

[Maximus Nickus]

Reomve the feet!!! Thats the only half-witted AMD protection against core damage!!!

With a shim though it won't matter, hey I thought you had to remove the feet when using a shim anyway?

[GeckoBanzai]

You're really lucky you did'nt cook your cpu. I learned something new today too: water wetter is not chemically inert and will eat through styrofoam. I'm glad I can learn from your mistake because I sure have enough of my own to deal with... heh heh

You people are Crazy removing the only protection against the core cracking! I would not take off the pads even if U Are putting a shim on. the pads is what keeps the shim from sliding all over the place and U don't want that inless U want a burnt core from the shim touching... I had a bad experience with that anyway good thing there are stupid people working at the computer shops down here.. I just told them that it never worked when I turned on my computer and they gave me a new one... I you want a 1 to 2 degree off then "CAREFULLY" WITH SOME VERY FINE 2000 + grit sandpaper get the lettering on the core scrape it till U see just the core and no markings BUT DON'T GO TOO FAR or you'll have a nice key chain... Well U get that down will drop temp by 1 to 2 I have down on 2 other amd CPU's and they survived..

One thing that jumped out at me once you translated your first post ;) was that you applied as2 to the ceramic part of the proc. You really need to clean that off as the arctic silver can become slightly conductive under the right conditions and if it's across the bridges, could short them out. Also, the shim will in no way help you to get better cooling through conducting heat from the ceramic; all it's going to do is keep you from chipping the core by point-loading an edge when installing or removing your heatsink. I'm glad you got your temps down and didn't cook your proc or the motherboard.

[mujgy]

I don't know, is there a rule against disclosing your geographical location, allwell. I live in Kathryn which is south of Valley City bout an hour an a half drive to Fargo.

Now I disagree about cooling the ceramic part, because mine was fairly warm to the touch, after all, heat doesn't just leave threw the heatsink, there are secondary heat paths threw the pins, and into the mobo.

Also I was careful not to put to much arctic silver on the ceramic, so I did avoid the bridges.

There are a few shims with holes for the pads I believe also.

Although I do have a question? What would be a good Northbridge hsf for my 8k7a+ or - (I disabled the raid controller I can get 10 more mhz on the fsb now)

However I do want to do water cooling again, those noisy fans at night. So really I just need something a bit better then the stock one. I tried blue orbs but they don't fit and I don't trust sticky tape.

Just goes to show that BIOS shutdown is flawed, get a hardware shutdown! :)

You might try changing the fan itself on the northbridge to a higher cmf fan. I think millisec.com has a couple of 50 mm fans that put out 15-20 cfm. Also, I read about some copper coolers that could be mounted on a northbridge, but I don't know where you can find them at.

I would try some of these bad boys prolly have to use some epoxy to mount but man these thing will keep you cool for air wise... unless U want to move to watercooling and pelter

I have a 156 watt on put with a z4 had dd2-1 not bad but z4 is better. have aqua sink and mb sink both from www.overclockerhideout.com and I out a 72 watt on both videocard and motherboard...

spec
amd 1600+ overclocked to 2000+ temp load 18c idle 14.4c
13X133fsb Asusa7a266 getting abitkg7
have 2100 ram and 2400 ram both from cruscil using 2100 512
gf3 ti200 overclocked to 225/495 temp is 16c
mb temp is 18c
system stable 8 days now running both linux and winpro2000

U want watercooling for somewhat extreme cooling then U want vapor chill or really extreme and mod the vapor chill unit... LOL
