volcano 6cu+

[RnPgrosz]

I just got the volcano 6cu+ for my machine. I knew it would be noisy but I didn't realize how much. Is there some kind of insulation material I can put inside the case? i've heard about stuff like that but don't really know much about it. Also would this make a big difference in noise? If not can you recommend a hsf that is fairly quiet but still effective. Thanks

run it at 7volts if your temps aren't too high.

search the forum for 7 volt trick and you should find the diagrams.

I don't have it plugged directly into the mobo because i had heard of 6cu+ not getting enough power.

[RnPgrosz]

I found info on the 7 volt trick and i will try it later. thanks for the help

[RnPgrosz]

thanks for the help the voltage mod worked and its much less noisy.

[adamtekh]

yes with the 7v mod i get about .37 c/w out of it

i hope it works as well for u , its great for the $$$

r the temps still about the same? try running both with prime 95!

Whats the difference..

The 6cu+ fan isn't loud at all until you hear the high pitched Deltas.

it has a delta clone , this one can be more annoying as it is more of a sucking sound :mad:

I have the 6cu+ as well..I dont think its that loud at all...in fact..i cant even really hear it..with the 4 80mm exuast's and the 2 120mm intakes going...lol..

I had the VolcanoII for a while, it was great!! Low temps and quiet as a mouse!! ;)

I've got the volcano, and its loud and it sucks.... I haven't got below 49C with a non overclocked XP 1600+... I dont' know whats going on...

[RnPgrosz]

temps went up about 3 degrees faranheight now to around 104 degrees i think. But i barely hear anything ! Is there a way to check fan speed if its not plugged directly into the mobo?

[adamtekh]

no @ 7v u cant moniter rpms wich sucks , i see uve got the same cpu as me 1080 9 x 120 , i can do that with stock Vcore

and asus board to

do u know what your cpu code is

mine is a ARGA

[adamtekh]

do u guys think 2 60 mm would fit on the 6cu + ?:beer:

[lennytiger]

The 6cu+ is a good cheap hsf!! :) Better than ORBS!! :)

[adamtekh]

much better than orbs , i uses the coper to alum design , which by they way in thero is better than all copper , and it makes it lighter

use copper to conduct heat , alum to spread it

and its got a lot of alum

but i think if the base had more copper it would do better

and i do belive fitting 2 60 mm fans wouldnt be a problem

2x 60mm x 38 deltas @ 7v would do nicely , or even 5 maybe

its just removeing that metal shrod, i havent got it to budge

[lennytiger]

Well I had an orb and it was crap!! ;)

Great Ornament though.....
