ThermalRight AX-7 Top Heatsink As of Today...

[funnyperson1]

Wow. If this sucker is as good as I think, I can hold off my 1st attempt to watercooling for this bad boy.

I assume these fit the S462/S370 sockets?

yes thats what its designed for....should be plenty good for the celly

Nice.. thinking about getting one for my Cel 1.0A. Does anyone know if the AX-7 will fit on a TUSL2-C?

The standard Intel HSF you get with a boxed Celeron is too loud. It runs a 4100rpm, I'm running it at 3200rpm now with a resistor to slow it down but I can still hear it from 5 meters away! I'm going to use the AX-7 with a Papst 8412NGL.

The boxed Intel Cooler that comes with the Celeron 1.0 part is a thermally controlled unit. At least all the ones I have ever seen are. Anyway, they run between 3100 and 4100 RPM based on air intake temp to the cooler. You case has to be running kinda hot for that fan to be running at full speed all the time. And to be honest, one of those at 4100 is way quieter than many other HSF combos you will run into.

I dunno what case you have that is letting so much sound escape, I can barely hear mine.

My AX-7 is on the way destined for a XP1600 machine. But I am also gettine the 120 to 80 adapter from Plycon to attach a Delta FFB1212EHE to it.....talk about loud. But a rheostat will take care of that.

Yeah, I had read somewhere that it was thermally controlled but as it was spinning at 4100rpm all the time I thought mine wasn't. I've a Palo Alto PA-810 with only a 92mm intake fan running at 7V. There is space for a 120mm outtake fan but I ripped away the 120mm Delta that came with the case. Case temp is 29°C/84F according to Asus Probe.

I wouldn't go near a Delta. Anything that runs over 4000rpm is too high pitched or loud for me. Too sensitive to sound I guess.

Has anyone tried the AX-7 with a 80mm evercool fan. I want this heatsink but I dont want the screaming of a delta

I'm using a Panaflo 80mm H1A putting out around 42CFM. Dropped about 3C of both idle and full load temps vs. a Glaciator II. And it fits on my ST6 without a problem... Next thing I'll be trying is using an L1A instead to quiet it down...

try using the M1 instead it would be a better temp than what you would get with the L1 while being quietier

 

[Intraveinous]

True, but I have H1A and L1As sitting around, and no M1As... Add to that I'm a full card-carrying member of the Anti-Noise Party and would rather have quiet than a degree and a half of extra cooling...

Just wanted to show you guys a real fan. This is a 240cfm or so fan. You know what the funny part is, it's not much louder that one of those 80cfm deltas.

Here it is.

Oh and thats a 120mm panaflo that it's sitting next to.

Here it is in usage.

The cryocooler in the last set of pictures will probably get an ax-7 on it real soon then my temps should be real good.

 

[Yodums]

Yea the Comair Rotrons are big bad boys.. They are huge though...

 

[webmedic]

That isn't a comair. It's a papst fan but it's the same size.

 

[Gr8Scott]

just rember that with the swifty u can use a hoot shoot

but the ax-7 is designed for use with a fan

Does it have something to do with the dead spot that the fan would present that would not be present using a hoot chute config, which would make it less effective for such an application than the swifty?

 

[rivercom9]

Yeah that would be my guess.
