    Calling on AnandTech gurus... Is the Hardcano Safe?

    Most people insert the thermistor between the heatsink and the PCB around the CPU die. The raised central CPU die is like a small plateau on the chip, and with the heatsink installed leaves enough of an air gap to run the thermistor in all the way to rest against the side of the die itself...

    Thermalright AX-7 vs SK-6...

    I am using an AX7 on a KG7 board, no clearance issues at all (the heatsink steps up from the base, and clears the capacitors)

    HOLY CRAP!! Alpha ROCKS!!!

    Goi, a lot of the manufacturers do not list the extreme high output fans. The Sunon 50 cfm fan has the model number KD1208PTBX-6A. The Delta is FFB0812SHE for the 68 cfm version. The Tornado is actually Sunon model number PMD1208PMB1-A, at 84.1 cfm.

    HOLY CRAP!! Alpha ROCKS!!!

    Actually the Sunon seems pretty quiet, even comparing it in side by side ear-o-meter tests with the lower speed Sunons and upper range Panaflos. I prefer the mid-speed 39cfm ones myself, but with an internally mounted heatsink fan, you'd have a hard time telling the difference in blind testing...

    Does a top blowhole help cooling all that much?

    If you have a good fan layout, with the fans high on the back, then likely a top blowhole won't make any discernable improvement. It helps with poorly designed cases, or in situations where there are so many drives/cables/etc in the case interior that heat can't exhaust quick enough through the...

    What's the best P4 2.53ghz CPU HeatSink/Cooler?

    Actually the retail heatsinks on the PIVs aren't too bad, outperforming a lot of the aftermarket stuff. To get any better you would have to step up to an Alpha 8942 or a Swiftech, neither of which are very cheap.

    Thermalright AX-7 on AMD athlon t-bird 1.4ghz?

    Fits on it fine... but make sure your motherboard has room on it.

    Crazy idea.... 2 fans for one CPU heatsink. What do you think???

    Thing is, with one fan on each side, one pushing and one drawing air, you aren't doubling the airflow. You may slightly increase it by lessening the pressure inside the fin area, but in reality if your pusher fan moves 30cfm (number used just for reference), and your puller moves 30cfm, you...

    Just got my Volcano 7+!

    Actually the 7+ is about the best heatsink I have seen yet from Thermaltake. It is also one massive chunk of copper... so priced by the pound its a darn good value... :)

    Are there Noise issues with side panel fan????

    The side fan attaches via 4 bolts/nuts. The filter mounts using the same bolts, basically each bolt coes through the filter, then the case metal, then the fan hub.

    Need a heatsink for a Celeron 566

    Best for that setup would be the Alpha PEP66, which was actually designed for slotket mounting. Otherwise any low profile socket 370 heatsink would work, especially ones designed for 1U/2U rack mounting...

    Are there Noise issues with side panel fan????

    Depends on the fan. It is open to the outside, plus facing nearer to you than the rear exhaust fans, so yes, you will hear it more. As for allowing more internal noise out... to a small degree, but the fan itself will be what you notice first. So pick a quiet one, unless you have an ear-plug...

    Fan Filters

    Second that no filter on exhaust comment. Also, most of the plastic fan holders are designed for ease of assembly rather than airflow. Often they actually block airflow more than anything else. You might be better off just removing the holder, and cutting out the metal, then drilling bolt...

    Unsatisfied with my TEMPS!

    Really do need the ambient temps to do a valid comparison. With the normal free mods of clearing airflow passage through the case (removing metal in front of fans, opening front cover vent holes, bundling cables, etc) you should be able to achieve temps within about 5-7 degrees of ambient. Big...

    Can I upgrade the fan on my Volcano 6CU?

    Yep, any 60mm by 25mm thick fan will be a direct replacement.

    Very lightweight ATX case?

    So far the lightest weight case I have personally held is the plexi one from ClearPC. Then again it scratches easily, has no RF shielding, and is pretty expensive. Looks darn cool though...

    best cfm for about 30 dba, 80mm Fan.

    Seems like a lot of models have specs along the lines of 39 cfm at 32 dba, such as the Sunon mid-speeds (their -2 models, ) and the Panaflo H1A series. You could also look at the YS Tech rheostat version, which allows you to dial the speed/noise/cfm you are comfortable with. Sounds like a...

    What size bit?

    A 3" or 3-1/8" hole saw will work fine for an 80mm fan.

    need advice/help taking the thermal pad off dr. Thermal TI-V77

    Never ever ever scrape the bottom of the heatsink with anything metal, or with anything hard enough to mark the surface. You will dig gouges into the surface, and seriously degrade the contact and cooling. That said, scrape what you can off with a fingernail, then use nail polish remover or...

    Opinions on My Air flow

    The drive bay fans are pretty extraneous, as the bay cages block them so much they make more noise than airflow. Your temps are pretty good, but likely cleaning up the airflow pattern could allow less fans to do the same job just as well. The side mount 120s likely are creating a lot of...

    ALPHA PAL8045

    Any hardware store will have the nylon nuts and washers. They are #6 by 32 thread. better fix would be nylon washers and steel nuts. Just don't overtighten.

    Possible to remove epoxy?

    Ack! I was hoping from the title you meant epoxy on a heatsink/chip. Not sure if any solvent strong enough to make a dent on the apoxy won't also melt the plexi. Best bet is to get some nail polish remover (its diluted acetone), try it on the back of the window, in an area that is behind the...

    Need a quieter replacement fan for my Globalwin FOP38 heatsink

    Any noise improvement on the current heatsink will likely come at the cost of lower airflow and higher temps. You can try a 60mm to 80mm adapter if you have the room, but really you should look into a newer style heatsink. Especially true if you plan to upgrade your system anytime in the...

    i need help on fans

    Kind of a rough rule of thumb (based on customers reporting mobo header problems over the past 3 years) any fan over .3 amps should be hooked to a power supply lead. Now a lot of people have no problems even with high speed 120mm monsters drawing >1 amp, but it depends on the board, the fan...

    Keeping my athlon cool?

    That symptom could be for many problems, not just heat. Install any new hardware/drivers lately? Run a defrag and clean your system any time within the past couple of months? Also, if you think its heat, take the side panel off, blow the dust out of your heatsinks. Then put a big room fan on...

    First time modder with a lot of questions.

    Ya know, I don't even know where to start answering all these questions... Ah... edited to add them in, now I can do it... 1. Is their a cheap hand powered tool that I can buy to cut a hole in my case for my windows? I don't want to buy a jig saw and I don't know anyone that owns one. -...

    Quieter Fan

    Can't hurt to try another 80mm fan. Look for one with decent airflow and noise level... if nothing else you'll have a spare case fan if it doesnt work out...

    looking for shuttle-like mini system...

    Good question, and I am curious as well. The Shuttle is nice, but the lack of an AGP slot or decent onboard video is a no-go for me. Anyone else seen a good small setup with AGP?

    cpu is too hot now! what to do?

    Reapplying the AS2 likely would help some. Also, make sure to clean all of the dust from your fans and heatsink. Over a period of time it will degrade cooling as it builds a nice insulation layer over your heatsink fins, fan blades, etc...

    Question about swapping out the fan on my Antec PSU.

    Normally the red is positive, black ground, yellow tach signal.

    Cooling a P4

    Sounds like some generic zinc-oxide based thermal compound, and darn little of that. I like to go a bit over on the thermal compound, as the heatsink will squeeze out any excess when you clip it in place. Normally I place a blob in the center of the CPU, and let it spread itself when the...

    Just took a skilsaw to my case..

    Yep, skilsaw makes a nice cut normally, and it only takes a couple minutes with a round edge file to clean up any jaggies. Plus you have some slop room with the window gasket, which makes it real easy to make a professional looking install. When cutting from underneath (best way) be sure to...

    Blue/Crystal Orb 27db? BS!

    If you have the room, a lrger passive heatsink would work... like the Zalman.

    alpha 8045 dilema

    If it drops that much with the case side open, then its a case cooling issue, not a heatsink one. Thats a big case, and will need a lot of air volume to keep it cool. On mine I found that a pair of 84 cfm 120mm fans pretty much did the trick, one on intake and one exhaust up high. Also use...

    ALPH PAL 8045 mounting

    Well, I wont tell you to read the manual, as you didnt state that you had the heatsink yet, so it might be rather difficult to do so, eh? The heatsink mounts pretty easily. There are 4 standoffs (same as you used to mount your motherboard in the case originally). The standoffs mount through...

    IS an Alpha PAL8045 quieter than a stock AMD heatsink/fan?

    Pretty much guarantee it will be quieter, and also lower pitched due to the larger fan.
