alright cool
I would buy conroe regardless, b/c of the performance, but this is like icing on the cake

Right now I have an X2 3800 cooled w/ an XP120

How do y'alll think heat output will compare to my X2 3800?

Thanks
Sean

u dont hack off parts
just take off the cover and u usually have like an inch of air room

but as for PSU, what about this:
http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info ... cts_id/255

well when i scale it up and down, I dont here any abnormalities, clicking etc,

when I get my new PSU and video card cooler (the ones I have now are kinda loud) I will be able to better tell the noise from this thing

I think the SI-120 would have trouble passive cooling a pentium 3 lol maybe Im being a little dramatic there, but the fins are very close together and theyre not even oriented right to take advantage of case ariflow (which is usually front to back, and on a SI-120, case airflow would just shoot over...

so wait, its not bolted in like on most boards, its clipped in?

i guess be very careful with a small scredriver and ttry to pop each tab out

well with the fan up and down, the temps on processor are the same. but chipset and mosfet temps are a few degrees lower with the fan blowing up so that's how I have it. Full load on proc (at 2.4ghz, 1.47v i think), 35C, sometimes it spices to 38C. PWMIC stays around 48, and chipset around 44C. on n...

well i got the fans a couple days ago and ive been doing some testing i get the same temps with the fan up as I do with the fan down (and my board is mounted horizontally). I am also getting the same temps as i was w/ my 35mm and 35dba (54 cfm) delta so im pretty happy. 40C full load here, and thats...

alright so i guess im gonna order an accelero since it seems good

I will probly order later today, but tell me, how quiet is it?

all the reviews i see involving a V1 have like 70+ load temps even with a decent fan

i guess ill go read some X1 reveiws then.

so do you guys think i should get a silencer 5 rev 3?

So I guess the big question is, should i go for a silencer, or a VF900, or something else?

(IT HAS TO BE GOOD PERFORMANCE, none of these passive coolers taht keep the card between boiling temp and the temp of the sun)

i just went and did some reading on both of those
it doesnt look like either one will keep my 7800GTX cool under load
whereas the VF900 looks like it can keep almost any card cool

I have an evga 7800GTX, and I would like to know which cooler is best for it? I like to overclock and get good game performance. I might even be voltmodding this card in a month or two. So I need good cooling that can be quiet too.

I've started a poll.

Thanks!
Sean

is that with a VF900 or a VF700?

thank you

another question
do you know what type of connectors these things have stock? 3 pin, 4 pin, or bare leads?
also does this particular fan have rmp sensing or not?

and how quiet is the VF 700? I mean, i can go onto review sites and see that the reviewers say it is 'pretty quiet' or 'virtually silent', but I trust the judgement of the ppl here. If someone on a review site says its quiet, I may or may not consider it quiet. if someone on SPCR says its quiet, the...

thanks guys
I'm really lookin forward to gettin these things
lets just hope SVC isnt out of stock and forgot to update their website (that's happened to me before)

how is it on noise?

well if price is ignored, how is it on performance and noise?
(but I too prefer to save money anywhere and everywhere that I can.)

yep I will definitely post before and after temps right now my airflow is pretty bad but I'm going to be building a new case from scratch so I should have great airflow there if I design it right. and thanks for the welcome. I spend most of my time over on EOCF (extreme overclocking forums) but they...

well, I love high performance, but I hate noise
so how is the VF-900 as a cooler? and how quiet is it?

This is for my evga 7800GTX

Thanks
Sean

http://www.svc.com/svcompucycle/1202512l.html sorry for double post one last check, the fan above is the same one as in taht user review right? EDIT: OK well I went ahead and ordered the ones at SVC, for $6 a piece these things are cheap (compared to nexus at least) Lets hope they work as well as ev...

Ah thanks well considering the globalwins are only $6 at SVC, i think i might order a few to play around with. Also, my 54cfm fan keeps my processor at 33C full load (like 48 hours of folding) at stock granted when overclocking it heats up a lot, but this chip doesnt seem to overclock past 2.2-2.3gh...

ouch, the papst is $17
thats not too bad, but not that great either

so what advantages does the papst have over the globalwin one linked to in Post #2?

lol I dont mean to constantly be arguing wiht your recomendation of the 4412 papst fan.

Neil, that globalwin you linked too looks really good at 40cfm its 14cfm less than what i have now, but alot quieter. Maybe I can counteract the fact that the fan has less cfm by doing a ducting mod so it gets cool air. But how well does it perform on an XP120, since thers alot of fins and stuff? th...

http://www.directron.com/4412fgl.html those ones? thanks for the warm welcome :) I've been on an overclocking forum for about a year and have 4000+ posts, but I know at most sites if u ask a basic question everyone tells u to just search. but I know inormation changes and I wasn't sure how old some ...

Alright Im running: X2 3800 (at stock right now but i would like to overclock and stay quiet) DFI Ultra-D XP-120 35dbA, 54cfm delta fan (those are the specs at 5v. I dont dare run it at 12v) So I was thinkin about swappin out the CPU cooler But I can save some money by just swapping out the fan, so ...
