[THUGSROOK]

maybe the panaflo 92mm fan will get me an even 180fsb :evil:

 

[THUGSROOK]

hey you guys realize what this means dont you?

heat is a serious problem when approaching 3.4ghz even on default voltage!
i wonder how intel is gonna deal with that.
lower vcore i would assume?

 

[LastRide]

Hard to say but it just might do it.

"By Thugsrook" maybe the panaflo 92mm fan will get me an even 180fsb

 

[LastRide]

Yes it does seem heat is an issue.The temps seem to skyrocket when you hit around a certain FSB from what I been following.Even at default voltage they are a little higher than the earlier B0-C1 CPU's.

 

[THUGSROOK]

by comparison,
my 2.4B @ 3.2ghz 1.625v was 5*C cooler then this 2.53b @ 3.4ghz 1.525v

Thugs, as our prodominate leader,... you must do it .

 

[LastRide]

My 2.4 at 3.2GHz at 1.525 is 37C.I have a 2.53 coming so I will compare.

LOL ~ na no thx

id rather stay on air so the "avg joe" can follow along with me.
there are already plenty of ATOCC members posting info on water or phase change.
i believe Technonut has returned to air cooling? :Q (ill have to read his update as to why)

 

[Mikki]

Nice test Thugsrook....wow what a difference...shoulda bought one ages ago....

 

[THUGSROOK]

maybe if someone that owned one woulda done a review on it ages ago then maybe i woulda bought one ages ago.

 

[Mikki]

maybe if someone would've sent me an Alpha for a comparison test ages ago then maybe I would've done a comparison test ages ago.

 

[jpetermann]

Hey, I just happened upon it myself. It's not like there were a whole lot of people saying" you need to use this HSF." I am glad I decided to look for a new one. It was not because the Alpha was a bad performer, but I had a semi-stripped screw from taking it on and off so much...

 

[EdipisReks]

my swiftech with TMD fan gives me much better results than my alpha with YS-Tech adjustable ever did, and it's a lot quieter to boot.

 

[Mangler]

I'm suprised no one has brought up the SLK-900U...I am very happy with it!

Hey man....i told mikki millions and millions years ago to get it...and he got it...but he is too lazy to do a review on it...hee hee

but seriously...i will try to get the SLK-900 (hey...i didn't know the mecedez made it up to 900...jk) but that monster look really HUGE...dont'' know if it would fit on my mobo or the next one i am planning to buy after...

 

[THUGSROOK]

g'mornin

it passed 16 loops of m86 last night @ 3.4ghz 1.525v

 

[LastRide]

Nice,lets see when your 92mm Panaflo shows up if you can squueze that extra 1C for an even 180fsb.

 

[Mikki]

SCK, what do you want me to compare it to? The stock hsf?! hehe....

Thugsrook, nice! :Q:beer:

 

[CChaos]

You are getting 22 degrees above ambient at idle. That seems awfully high to me. Are you using Asus probe by chance or a hardware temp monitor?

 

[zShowtimez]

I was planing on getting this heatsink for some time.. I just finally did a few weeks before pj made that first review. Now im glad I went with it

 

[dbwillis]

Nice thread Thugs..!
good results too!

thats normal for this board ~ every chip ive ever had in this board (9? 10?) runs at about that idle temp.
Asus PCprobe

Example: P4 2.26b stock speed and 1.5v vcore = 41*C / 32*C idle

 

[kadajawi]

wow, the Swiftech looks good.
Which Panaflo is it you're going to get? High or low power? Gotta love these, 2 92mm Panaflos high power for 1?... awesome

And what about this one?
Maker: DELTA
Model: FFB0912EHE
Size: 92 x 92 x 38 (mm)
Bearing: Dual Ball Bearing System
Voltage: 12V
Speed: 4800 rpm
Air Flow: 110.18 CFM
Noise Level: 55 dBA

Stock fan for the SLK-900-U according to Thermalrights homepage. THAT is a serious fan... allthough I'm pretty 100% sure I couldn't stand the noise

 

[THUGSROOK]

i will only use panaflo low speed fans.

im getting the 92mm low.

panaflos make zero motor noise ~ so whatever noise they do make is more like a pleasant breeze sound, not an annoying BUZZ.
youd be surprised how many of us in here run "quiet" or even "silent" systems :Q
