This is a fantastic thread. Kudos for starting it.
I'm another rev.B3 @ 1.3250v statistic.


Just wondering, what's the lowest voltage people using when overclocked to 3GHz?

Thanx for the replies... I have a rev. B3 unfortunately. :( But it overclocks to 3GHz which is as far as I would push it (i'm currently not o/c'ing...stay calm peoples :) ) My current temps are ~50c idle and ~68-72c under load. But I was so keen to try out quad processing I think i need to reapply A...

I owned a classic setup: P180 case, E6600, P5W-DH Mainboard and a Ninja Rev.B heatsink... ...then i upgraded to a Q6600. :roll: :wink: :D Now my temperatures a little higher than I like, I'm contemplating upgrading the Ninja to a Ultra 120 Extreme. Do you people think this worth the time/money? Hone...

Ahh... the ways of the Ninja are mystical, tiny grasshoppers...

Perhaps i can help. i own a E6600, P5W Deluxe, a P180 case, a Phantom 500W PSU and have replaced the p180 fans with nexus fans too ... :) So i think we're on the same path. I initially tried running my E6600 with a Ninja Rev.B without any additional fans; so it relied ONLY on the case fans. However ...

Because i dont want to stuff around with water... i dont like the thought of a leak. Plus I own a P180 and have no desire to drill holes in it. thanx for suggesting it though

Thanx for bumping my thread.

G.Skill is good stuff.

Hi. Does the Ninja Rev.B fit on the new Asus Striker Extreme mainboards? More specifically, does it clear the stock heatpipes

thanks.

This guy here has posted photos of how to install a ninja on a 680i m/b.

i have to ask, why are you only considering HS's w/ 92/100mm fans? Why not the 120mm range?


The HR-01 with duct will mostly likely cause problems with a passively cooled 570SLI NB. It's not ideal.

Ah... my bad. MCP = Southbridge? Yes, I plan to use the HR-05-SLI for that too. I'm going to check with the store if they've got any evga 680i boards in stock tomorrow... i'll also post results.

Nice to make your aquaintance.

Shouldn't this be in the CPU Cooling forum? :? Regardless i'll try to help. Depending on your ambient temp 48'c idle definitely sounds hot, but not insanely high for the Intel stock cooler in a HTPC case. I'm running my 6600 at 3GHz with a Ninja, the ambient temp is about ~18'c and the CPU is idling...

I'm back. :D I sat down and did all the measurements & calculations (which i think are reasonably accurate; i'm open to correction). I hope this helps someone else who is thinking down the same path as me. HR-05 + Ninja passive = FITS! HR-05 + Ninja w/ 120mm fan = DOES NOT FIT!!! Looks like there's ...

Lazaredz, i cant tell you how much i appreciate your assistance. This is invaluable information. I've also read where the mount needs filing to fit (i've also read one person say they didn't need to file... work that one out. :? a n00b maybe? who knows) i'm going to shutdown and do the measurements ...

Glad to hear it worked out for you. I own a Ninja too; definitely a legendary heatsink.

What did AMD fans expect? :roll: AMD increased its marketshare because intel dropped the ball with the prescott. It wasn't that AMD made something far superior to Intel. Now Intel is back with the core2duo's and AMD is back where it was before prescott; behind Intel. The only way AMD is going to sta...

picture's worth a thousand words; an animated gif is worth a million. This is what i really really really want to know: Can a HR-05-SLI or HR-05 fit between a ninja HS and VGA card on an EVGA 680i? http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/9628/evga680ihr05onqa1.gif thanx Lazaredz for the use of your origi...

Thanks Lazaredz ... i've been checking this thread 3-4 times a day since your promise to post pix, and you haven't disappointed. i can see your problem with the HR-05-sli being a tight fit, but otherwise it looks good.

i hate bumping, but i'm real anxious about the HR-05 on a 680i mainboard. I'm holding off my purchase.......... no pressure or anything Lazaredz.

So you were screwless or screwed?

Found this very useful thread for fitting blackplates to 680i mainboards. Page two shows what needs to be cut-out to get the Ninja Rev.B to fit.

Lazaredz, please post a pix and any temps... you are my new hero!!!! can you run this passive?

Rockfrog, you are my new best friend! :D You have the setup I will have (already got a P180 and E6600; just need to change the M/B) btw, any photos? :wink: I could have bought one today but didn't after reading this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1119603&page=2&pp=20 Half way down...

According to the people i've spoken to you don't actually need as much AA (or was it AF) due to the res being so high being able to compensate for / remove the requirement for it. Yes, this is true. AA becomes redundant when I play at 1920x1200 on my 24" LCD. Turning AA on minimal effect -- all it ...

Thanx for the reply. At least i know someone has read this thread. :) That guy stuffed up his board because he had the original ninja w/ backplate. The Rev.B Ninja doesnt use a backplate. My next big concern is the NB running so hot it can't be cooled passively. :( I wonder if a Thermalright HR-05 /...

I'm contemplating the purchase of the new eVGA 680i mainboard (model: 122-CK-NF68-AR) and naturally I'm worried if a Ninja Rev.B will fit. I read a comment where one owner had problem with his Mine heatsink...

Anyone using this mainboard with a Ninja? Thanx for your time.

Far out Banjo, that's crazy! But I love it! hope it works out well for you so you can produce a patented SPCR version.
