Socket 775 Heatsink needed badly Proc Peak @156F

Danke!!!!

The sys is minorly overclocked at the moment but I think I might just engage the Dynamic Overclocking feature and see how Kyodai runs with everything switched on....

* ooooOOOOOOoooo Switched On Baby....... * --- " heheheh "

* is mOsT PLeAsEd *
And has yet to install the delta as the cpu fan - that was a rating from the old thermaltake crapola fan - the HS is soooooo good that it is keeping everything on Ice with just that. I might use the delta to cool the case since it is so poorly air conditioned - I have had GPU concerns and can't afford a super-cooler for the PCI-X at the moment.

That delta blows so much air it would hold itself to the case wall without screws. - heheheheheh

Thanks so much everyone. - WOO HOO - * greatest stress relieved *

FYI Even with the slight FSB overclock to bring that 3.227GHz freq. My system has not crashed once since installing that new heatsink... The fan controls are due to arrivthis evening. I would sleep all day and need to get out as they are due to arrive. - Heh

Anyway..... I give a difinitive 5 Talons up for the Thermalright heatsink. The back plate was a bit rough to install due to short screws but it finally made it and works great.

Arctic 5 micronized silver heatsink sompound is quite different from compounds of the past... This stuff is almost as sticky as chewing gum and you MUST obtain the cleaner solutions to remove it and to prep your mating surfaces. Besides.... the cleaner has a wonderful smell and is totally gentle to the hands. I found the purifier excellent for that final cleanse of the expansion card pins before reinsertion... Solution 2 purifier cleans gold admirably... Have fun everyone out there - the Thermalright XP-90 is a solid deal and not too much bigger than that with which I began. Thermaltake's cheapo 92mm fan on their jungle512 HS will also fit on the Thermalright and has the automatic control I wished....
I may yet install that wonderful Delta fan I purchasaed but the GPU needs additional cooling also, and the case's cooling coefficient is pathetic... Once I nounted that Delta - even temporarily - the overall system temp went down to 75F in just moments and the vid.... which is already slightly overclocked has lost all of that excessive heat.
By Bahamüt's Beard!!! I needed that.. hahahahahahah

Thanks again and God Bless...

Glad everything went well. I just installed my XP120

Im seeing very good results as well

 

[QijdiDeOr]

I am MOST impressed and have already recommended one to one of my friends. The folks at Thermalright are also very helpful and polite when you call --- this is a switch... and a pleasant one.
Unfortunately I missed the blasted UPS guys for having to go to the store. Waited all day just to have them come by before I get back.. Oh well - the fan controls and case-cover can wait till monday... The 120 looks nice Sentential - wish I had room - even the peps at Thermalright, both over 6the phone and email say that the 120 would be a bit too big for me with the current setup. However, the XP-90R did JuSt FinE!!! 96F is Most acceptable and I even have the chip slightly overclocked.
Once I place that Hyper-fast Delta as the new front case fan with the one that came with the Thermalright Retail model as the exhaust the sys should stay pretty cool....

Thanks again for being not only a lifesaver but a whole roll of them... HAH!

Tonight i am lapping my Thermalright XP-90. Stock Intel cooler wasn't too bad for temps 40C-Idle and 60C-Load, but i know it can be cooler.I also have an Asus P5AD2-Deluxe in an Antec Sonota case. 2 SilenX 120's @14bd and Ozc 420 Powerstream. My 3.0 P4 530 Will now have an XP-90 with a panaflo (high) BX 92mm 56cfm. I'll post again with temps from the lapped xp-90 and Artic silver 5.

Just one other question to the forum. The 4-pin stock HS and the new 3-pin Panaflo with XP-90, after changing the bios setting for the 3-pin will it control the speed of the fan?

I know Noise vs. cooling, i would like my cake and it too!

Thanks it forward

 

[Sneaky]

BIOS fan controlling is terrible - just use speedfan to control the RPM of you fan(s)

 

[BillyTheKid]

Sneaky,
Speedfan in windows right?

 

[QijdiDeOr]

I find that the BIOS tends to wear out the speed sensor and had to switch it to manual but the high speed fan is still on the case as exhaust for the immense amout of vibration It proposes would otherwise damage the processor in time.... Thermaltake makes the most worthless fans and this one is also wearing out so I might just have to replace it much earlier than I expected, but automatic speed adjustment is still in its infancy so patience is a virtue.... Let alone their heatsinks..... It's delta all the way for me...... The Delta High Speed is great for emergency exhaust.

I would suggest that you use a Hardware device like front panel control to adjust the fan speed - HW is always better than software as you have to wait for the software to load unless part of the BIOS and as stated earlier THAT is still in development. My MSI board comes with a software program called Core Centre that does the same but it's the last to load and my average temp with the 4 wire thermaltake fan from a jungle512 on the XP-90 is still 33.5C. I love the automatic control, but it tends to wear out the crappy fan and begin to undervolt it badly. If Delta would get on the schtick and make a 4 wire I would be pleased. Never again will I patronize a company like thermaltake who makes an HS that barely copes with the overheating problems of the prescott core processors.

p.s. I found my fan controls at Cooler Guys for 9USD on garage sale clearance so anything is possible.

I just downloaded speedfan from Tucows and installed.. It reads a bit higher than all my other sensors - * is moderately surprised. * The processor reads 120 when the native sensor program that comes with the board reads a nice 91 degrees Farenheit. as does the BIOS when I look at the HW monitor section.... Hmmmmm inacuracies....... I like the features of Speedfan but it seems inacurate - - * attempts some settings adjustment * It reads higher than the sensor attached directly to the processor and the Motherboard program.


Qij.

 

[Ven0m]

I'd rather say that 91*F is inacurate...

 

[QijdiDeOr]

If the 117F reading is the northbridge on temp 3 then I have read it wrong and the Core Centre is in agreement with the HW fan controls and Speedfan Each to their own I suppose, but I am more inclined to consider the device attached directly between heatsink and processor on the edge and the native system over even the BIOS, for the system naturally runs hotter whilst in configuration mode. Both the MSI Core Centre and my HW fan controls sensor are within 3 degrees of each other according to metric conversion factors 35.0C -> 95.0F and 98F from the Core Centre and 98F on temp 2 from speed fan. So it appears correct. I do like the advanced options section of Speedfan but again mention the issue of boot order.. Hardware dials are manually set and need only be adjusted should temps rise. The other has to wait till loaded. It is entirely up to personal preference. I will say this... That Thermalright XP-90 and the Arctic 5 HS compound is fabu, reducing what would have ended soon in processor burnout to a very stable system... At first I was a bit concerned about the adapter, for the screws were a bit short since my board does not have the larger holes to allow the mounts to sit flush, but adequate pressure to securly fasten the HS to not movable was acheived so all is wonderful... One really needs the special cleaner for the Arctic 5 though, the stuff is like bubble gum. Besides, I have found many uses for the solution since, it will also dissolve the sticky left behind by labels and the like, and solution 2 is good for cleaning the gold contacts of cards. The pleasant citrus smell of tangerines is also very desirable. Thanks again everyone.

Qij.

p.s. Nice fan on that graphics card Sentential - is that custom and what make would you all suggest for a Leadtek WinFast 6600 TD PCI-X model?... I would like to be able to overclock the card a bit at least and this HS on the vid I know can't take the punishment I would give it...

 

[Logger]

I just ordered today an XP 90 and AS5 for my new 640 I was looking how the stock HS went on and I got sick what a piece of junk Why can't they use nice standoffs and screws. I hate it when they do that. So now I have to wait to get my new sytem up and running.

ok after spend 45mins search threads in this box abt socket 775 cooling I finally convince that TR is the choice.
(what iam looking for is around 400-500mhz OC on 2.8/3.0 prescott )

and I have 2 options here

#1 buy XP-90 (the retension bracket sold out at SVC, does anyone know a better deal ?)

#2 using the old slk-800U with retension bracket ( is this possible?)


those are my 2 choices. And the question which one is better ?($25 slk_800U and $40 xp-90 )

thnx

Kevin

 

[Logger]

I really like the XP90 and delta fan.Try sidewinder for fans HS's. Make sure to get a 3 wire fan if you need one. No one makes a 4 wire yet. Get a 90x 25 mm fan.

 

[subtotal]

you're probably better off with a 92x38mm fan

 

[firebat45]

Sents got an Arctic Cooling Silencer, not usually a custom thing, although sometimes they don't quite fit right, and you have to mod them. Available many places, look for VGA cooling or search brands for Arctic Cooling. They have a heat exhaust, which is supposed to direct the hot air right out of your case. I dont really like them (the ATi ones anyway) because they leave no room for RAMsinks. I'd rather get an Iceberq and some nice copper RAMsinks.

[offtopic]
does anyone know where to buy an Iceberq 5 in Canada?

I am extremely pleased with my XP-90 and almost always have temperatures well under 100F - even when doing video conversion. Sidewinder Computers is a good resource and there are several others who sell the LGA775 adapter bracket... Delta fans are a good ticket - especially for undervolting. I demand the utmost from my system in performance and cooling and the current arrangement is most equitable for the moment. My usual temps range in the low 90's to mid 80's Farenheit, this in a case with a really poor cooling coeficient for a P4 530 With Prescott core. The Thermalright with Arctic 5 Micronized Silver HS compound really saved my bacon for I could not afford to replace my processor again and it surely would have burned considering the temps were continually rising every 2 days. The LGA775 adapter bracket was a bit of a pretentious monkey to install but worked admirably.

I continually run my 3.0 @ +200MHz with 7% auto overclock above that and still maintain better than normal temperatures. Once I get a new case with a better cooling coeficient and ramsinks, I plan to attempt much higher. A new fan-cooled heatsink for the northbridge might be in order also for despite my efforts it is still running hotter than I wish; heatsink is forthcomming and suggestions would be graciously accepted. With Thermalright's reputation, I wish THEY would release a cooler for the northbridge and RAM, I am sure it would be well designed considering the fondifferous results with the XP-90.

Best of luck to you.
