Just a little update. I overclocked it a tad(see sig), and now have even better temps (as5). With my TT-SM2 on high(4500rpms, not THAT loud), my load is now 40C, while idle is 37C (disabled cpu disconnect).

With the fan turn down to 2200 rpm's, 45C load.

So I'm happy I just wish my ram could handle 200mhz

Looking good iLLestOne,Did you have any problems installing the SP-97 ? Yea the AS 5 calls for 200 hrs for particle restructuring.Or cure time,with off and on cycles.Keep your flow up & temps down.

Nope not at all. Putting on the back plate was probally the hardest thing to do, but it wasn't that bad at all.

You would be forever kicking yourself if you bought a 947 knowing that we now have excellent heatpipe technology out.

LOL i got a 947u for my barton 2800 and i get 31°C idle 34°C load. Do u really think this SP 97 is getting your temps 10 degress lower than with a 947u? LOL I gues even not 3 degrees.

 

[tom10167]

Right, but when you have both choices in front of you, why pick the lesser?

 

[iLLestOne]

Whats your case temp / ambient temp with the 34C load?

i know, right? i wont have a motherboard or dvd drive untill moday/tuesday, my SP-97 will get here monday or tuesday, my pyramid fan controller got here about 15 minuits before it dissapointed me, my BH-5 mushkin (purple) 512M 3500 got here 4 days ago, and i've had my antec case for months. is there no end to this madness?!

$20 difference, that's why.

 

[iLLestOne]

True, but what's 20 bucks when it comes to performance? I REALLY wish I would have spent an extra 20-50 on a PS. Then I wouldn't have to go buy a new one now (not the best anology, since the 947u is also very good, but still)

Just my 2¢

 

[tom10167]

Wow, I figured they were like $5 apart, oh well, yeah you definitely got a better buy.

 

[FrailBlazer]

Yea. In my head I'm trying to justify spending 20 extra dollars for only a 2-3 degrees drop in temperature. I wonder why it's taking so long for the rest of these stores to start supplying em.

yeah, i got the SP-97 and 22 grams of AS creme stuff, ended up paying $75 for both w/ shipping...hopefully it will keep the DLT3C thats on the way (hopefully) nice and comfy!
