    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    VD, You make it even easier to pick on the Gen Xers and the Y/ners. VietNam and Iraq are certainly examples of the United States' finest presidents (LOL); Kennedy in the 60s and now the Bush coalition. Both were/are examples of an individuals arrogance and ego. The "lower" people went to...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    Salvador, Please don't lower yourself to the insult level of VinDSL. He has his personal problems that he has to take out on others. He called some of us cowards since we happen to be older. But I don't remember him greeting me when I touched down in Dan Nang, RVN. And he was insulted to...

    Should I lap my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme?

    I found the links to the Intel spec/data sheets which in itself was amazing since Intel likes to "weave and bob" with posting of their technical specs and drawings; these I believe are August postings by Intel. These are the links that I have found: Main page...

    Should I lap my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme?

    Noubourne, You might want to read my earlier post concerning the Q6600 IHS. It is NOT specified by Intel to be concave; it is supposed to be flat. Of course yours might turn out to be concave because of the tolerance callout or poor manufacturing (if the surface is concave beyond what the...

    My TR Ultima90 is convex also. Eeyore

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    joetron2030, As I indicated in another thread about lapping. Although Thermalright says the base is curved to match the Intel processor the Intel spec sheet on their site says otherwise. The top surface of the IHS on the Q6600 is supposed to be flat within .05mm (.002"); there is no callout...

    Should I lap my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme?

    BDuck, In some ways I am not all that worried about the cpu voltage; especially since Intel rates it up to 1.35v. As you indicated, most motherboards that support the quad processors have the Vdroop problem. When I indicated that my processor is at 1.375v I really mean that that is what I set...

    Should I lap my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme?

    BDuck, As you know I am one of those that believes in lapping both cpu and heatsink; depending on what the curvature of both surfaces are just lapping one surface can make the contact better or worse. Lapping both surfaces insures proper contact. The first thing I did when I received my TR...

    Artic Silver 5, Ceramic or Noctua

    DrMrLordX, Thanks for the info on Shin-Etsu (Mine is the X23-7783D variety). My heatsinks were all lapped to a fairly smooth surface. At first I tried using the finger/plastic wrap method of spreading and then using a credit card to smear the grease; it seemed like it should work since the...

    Artic Silver 5, Ceramic or Noctua

    BDuck, Been off for a while but did want to let you know a little more about Shin-Etsu. I finally took out my Q6600 processor and the two chipset heatsinks and lapped them. One thing I found out about aluminum (the two chipset heatsinks) is that aluminum doesn't lap nearly as nicely as...

    A question for Antec Nine Hundred owners

    Zepper and all, I wish that I had a mom and pop store. Growing up (I am 60+ now) in SoCal we had many independent electronic stores that sold components (along with fixing most electronic items). They were the place of choice when buying my components for my budding interest in electronics...

    Which Temp Monitoring Programs do you use

    I am also interested in the accuracy of the coretemp measuring programs. I just built a system with a GA-P35-DS3R and Q6600 G0. Almost as soon as I turned it on over 2 weeks ago I upped the FSB (I haven't yet changed any other settings since I am burning in the cpu to insure that it doesn't crap...

    A question for Antec Nine Hundred owners

    I just went googling about internal speakers for BIOS troubleshooting. As is normal, everyone had their own opinion but what worried me most were the 3 or 4 people that hooked their case speaker to the motherboard speaker header and had the wires melt down. I also checked with Radio Shack and...

    A question for Antec Nine Hundred owners

    I feel the same as you about boot-up noises. It worries me when I don't get the beep telling me that nothing is wrong. My latest system is like that (Antec 900 and Gigabyte DS3R motherboard) with neither the case nor the motherboard having a noise maker. My last system (Antec P-180 and DFI...

    A question for Antec Nine Hundred owners

    Tates is right. When I recently bought my 900 and had the problem I contacted Antec and was told that the fan led lights are the power indicators. There supposedly was a misprint in the manual. I guess you are SOL if you want to replace the Antec fans with better ones. Eeyore

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    In the Antec 900 the PSU is bottom mounted like in my Antec P-180 case. The front 120mm intake fan is mounted at the top and blows air directly at the 120mm fan on the U90 and the backside of the heatsink is directly in line with the 120mm exhaust fan. If you look through the front fan you can...

    To P182 or not to P182 -- that is the question!

    The extra holes around the motherboard would have been nice; if I had known what a pain the routing was going to be I would have drilled or nibbled some in. I could have added them when I cut holes in the motherboard mounting panel behind the cpu heatsink and chipset heatsink areas. I found...

    To P182 or not to P182 -- that is the question!

    I forgot about that spot in the case where the power cables for the lower drives and the SATA cables meet in a bunce. I even went to the work of removing the lower middle fan bracket (since I wanted to keep a fan there) and nibbled away some of the bracket. I then had a slot beside the mounted...

    To P182 or not to P182 -- that is the question!

    I have had a P180 for a couple of years now which is very similar to the P-182. I like it although routing of cables can be a bit adventurous; the P-182 helps in this regard because of the modified motherboard mounting plane. The P-182 allows routing of cables behind the motherboard plate. And...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    Even allowing that the lapping is going to lessen whatever the pressure might be with your heatsink and processor combination, this heatsink is not made to NASA specs; thank goodness for that or heatsinks would cost $1,000,000 each. And, I am sure, that Intel's spec is not a single number but...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    BDuck, I too never found any good info on the Shin-Etsu thermal paste and do believe that it is silicone based. Many of the reviews rated it above the Arctic Silver varieties, and since I needed to replace my old, original Arctic Silver with something more up to date, I decided on the...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    BDuck, I hadn't thought of eliminating the heatsink fan, which is currently a 120cfm, 120mm fan, and just ducting the intake and exhaust fans directly to the heatsink. This might help since the 120mm heatsink fan overlaps the heatsink on the top side which means some of the air provided by...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    BDuck, This is my first time back also since I partially assembled my new Q6600 G0 system. I say partially since I have lapped the Ultima-90 but not the Q6600; I am going to burn it for a couple of more weeks before I lap it also. I didn't want to lap it just to have it quit a day later; $300...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    You sound like me with all of the left over parts. I save almost everything but some of the components get so old that no one wants them and I finally have to throw them out. But sometimes I have enough components around to build a simple system. I still have an old Intel P4 2.4Mhz system that I...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    BonzaiDuck, I don't believe I was the one talking about Panaflo fans. I am looking at a 120mm fan that draws .7A at 120cfm and a 92mm fan that draws 1.0A at 105cfm. One of the reasons that I would rather use the 120mm is the sound. While both are loud the 92mm has a high pitched whine (kind...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    I don't see a way of using plastic ties to secure the upper portion of the fan to the heatsink since the fan sticks above the heatsink. But I am thinking of re-bending the standard clips to fit or maybe just drilling additional clip mounting holes in the heatsink fins themselves positioning them...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    I think I will stay away from the duct tape. I would hate to have a 3300rpm fan fall into the motherboard and case. Another idea I have is to find proper length spacers and screw them onto the fan between the two corners. This way I would have holes at the proper distance for the clips to mount...

    Thermalright Ultima 90 is out :)

    I just received my Ultima-90. Be aware that with the fan mounting clips provided (both 90mm and 120mm) you can only mount a 1" thick fan. This is because the clip mounts to the outside of the fan and not to the near edge as most Thermalright heatsinks do. If you want to use a thicker fan, as I...
