XP-120 + K8N-E Deluxe

[kurisu]

Anyone using using this combo? I know Thermal's website says it will work fine [without the necessity to bend things ], but I trust real world experience over such. Pictures, opinions and anything else is appreciated.

Also, if you're using a K8N-E Deluxe, what processor heatsink do you use and what's your average temps?

Regards,

Christopher

bump - Is this a fruitless endeavor? Surely someone here [or lurker] must employ this combination..

 

[kurisu]

Well, I guess I'll be the first here to do so. I've just ordered the XP-120; I shall take pics and all of when it arrives and post my impressions.

Please takes pics, I wonder if it'd fit on a DFI Lan-UT thingy

Hey I got a K8N board. I have the 64 3200 XP. My board has a DUAL BIOS, which is kinda sweet...

Sorry though, I dont use air cooling. Just water.

If I turn the ac down at my hideout, the temp sits at 75 F on the processor. I got a Koolance case, which has a built in water system and temperature display. I have 3 different fan speeds and can display in both F and Celsius.

Its nice, I will get pics up soon.

Those Koolance temperatures are incorrect...I had an Exos-Al and the temperature displayed was always 20F lower than it actually was...most of the time it was 77F but in actuality it was 97F according to BIOS and other programs...

I noticed that you have the fan pulling air off the sink instead of blowing down , What kind of temps are you getting?

 

[kurisu]

32c cpu/29c system in a 26ish C room [idle]. That'll probably drop more once I get panaflo 80mm's on the top and side instead of the crummy aspire x-dreamer II fans.

Load is hard to determine, but my best estimate would be no more than 37 - 39ish C cpu, 32 - 33ish C system. Once 100% cpu load is done, it drops back down rapidly. I still have fan direction testing to do, but it seems ideal.

 

[orion446]

Which fan are you using, Panaflo M1A, H1A ,L1A ? I got the H1A today and will order the XP120 soon.

 

[kurisu]

M1A. I was contemplating H1A, but I don't want something loud. Of course, Panaflos have never been known to be loud..

Are my temps ok?

 

[orion446]

The reason that I asked about the fans is , I got the H1A and the casing on the fan is very large. I cant tell by looking at your pics how much space it will take up in my case. It shouldn't be a prob for me since I have a large case.

wow, that's a big dasm hsf. hope you plan on some cable management.

 

[kurisu]

Did you look at my pictures, loda? wtf

Anyway, I've done a bit more since then and it looks even better now. There aren't any cables across the middle anymore and my airflow seems pretty great. I'll update the pics eventually..

 

[slpaulson]

That's a bgfkr.

 

[caz67]

I just ordered one for my 3.2EE..I went with the 120mm Panaflo LOW fan, for ultra quite..

 

[kurisu]

Nice. Panaflos are really some of the best fans I've ever owned.
