questions on termalright heatsink for amd

Brian Williams · Feb 15, 2004

Looking into the SP-97 for an xp 2500.
Who has a good price on them?
does it come with a fan?
If not what is available for it.
does it come with mounting hardware for a fan?
Plan to OC, what fan is good. Would like one with leds or uv sensitive.

SewerBeing · Feb 15, 2004

to the which fan is good question, thats opion mainly if you want pure performance and dont care about the noise go with a vantec tornado, if you want quiet get a panaflow. It depends on the dealer if it comes with a fan, most dont. I would recommend you get it from newegg, simply because I have yet to have a problem with them so here is a link. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-109-113&catalog=62&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0

that says for 2800+, I will have a 2500! Not to mention they are not showing a pic or even giving a model # on that site.

It also has the fan mounting hardware another thing I dont know what board your running but the sp-97 needs 4 holes that are located next to the cpu at each corner most new boards comes with this so make shure you have these holes

Is this what your looking for http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-109-012&catalog=62&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1
ack thats for intel but it looks like what the amd one looks like

Brian Williams · Feb 15, 2004

SP-97 HS LINK

SewerBeing · Feb 15, 2004

the heatsink is for an athlon up to 2800+, so it will fit your cpu. That board will take the sp-97 as a heatsink, you can check on www.thermalright.com if you dont believe me.

Brian Williams · Feb 15, 2004

i beleive you, Just thought the sp97 was the better of the rest?

archilochus · Feb 15, 2004

It is at the top of the heap. Heres a link for more reading.

Click SP-97 when you get there.

HS LINKAGE

www.jab-tech.com is a great site, they have the HS for $51 (46+5 shipping), however the shipping isnt charged per item, its by the box, so you can order some other misc small things (e.g. fan, thermal paste) that will fit in the box and the shipping will hardly increase.

guys, what fan can you recommend. I would like to have an adjustable one. i do not have a fan controller at the moment. I would also like a little bling instead of a big black Blah in a see through case.

92mm Vantec Tornado

7 volt mod w/switch

I run a SLK-900A with this setup. The fan runs pretty quite at 7v's and just flip the switch to have it run at full speed when needed.

Something to add to the bling...if you dont have any...grab a dual UV cath setup and then paint the fan grill with a UV paint and if you trust yourself and the paint...paint the tips of the fan.

svc.com sells the UV kits for like 6.99 or so and also the UV paint. and the cost of the switch is 5.00 or so, at your local electronics store. So for a cost of 40.00 or so, you could have yourself a nice little UV setup with a nice original designed UV fan with some serious air cooling when needed without the cost or need for a fan controller unit.

Oh yea, don't use that crap compound that comes with it with whatever fan you buy...get some AS5...worth the 6.00...

Armitage · Feb 17, 2004

I've just installed the SP-97 on an ASUS A7N8X-X and it was pretty painless. The only thing I would suggest is to be careful when installing the spring-loaded screws near the heatpipes; it's a pretty tight fit. I am using a TT 9025A 90x90x25 (5600CFM) and it's not really that loud. The fans in my Antec TrueControl 550W PSU drown out everything else

Really?
I used the compound that came with my SP-97. You think I should go out and get some AS5?

Looks like i am going with this fan

glock19owner · Feb 17, 2004

The thermal compound that comes with it is generic compound...not anywhere close to being near AS5 performance...or any AS product for that matter...

Brian Williams · Feb 17, 2004
