Hello Forum, I was on here a while back looking for a way to quiet my Dual Xeon system (using a Tyan Tiger i7505 mobo)... Haven't had too much luck in doing so, but i recently heard about the Swiftech MCX603-V heatsink and was wondering if any of you have installed these on a Tiger i7505 (S2668) mob...

Ok guys, I've done some additional research and have come up with a few options...all of which have some snags. Option 1: Replace the stock 60mm Xeon CPU fans. To do this I need an 80mm fan adapter but the problem is Xeons have their own propietarty Heatsink casing known as the PWT. The 60 mm fan at...

Anyone know if a 60 mm to 80 mm fan adapter exists SPECIFICALLY for the new Xeon PWT (processor wind tunnel) CPU casing? The xeons have this new PWT casing with a square base that mounts 60 mm fan by using clips....that means exisiting fan adapters wont work since they have a rounded base with holes...

WOW...

Thanks everyone! You guys have dropped some serious knowledge on me :p I have lots to read and think through...

I'll update you all when I sort this out....thanks again!

Hi Fred, I am looking to do the same for my dual 2.4 Xeon machine...let me know if you have found something that does the trick :-) In addition to the Zalman you listed, I have also found these fan/heatsinks: SM CoolFlow ® Intel Rev. 2.1 (from Silentmaxx.net) 80mm panaflo L1A fan (from frozencpu.com...

Just out of curiosity...are any of you using these fans for on a dual xeon machine?

I've just built a dual 2.4 and am looking to replace both CPU fans.

I did some looking around and found this: SM CoolFlow ® Intel Rev. 2.1 http://www.silentmaxx.net/silent_products/CPU_cooler/CoolFlow/CoolFlow_Pentium_2_8/coolflow_pentium_2_8.html Any thoughts? The Panaflow seems the quitest...am I better off buying those, would i need to replace the stock heatsink?...

Hi DryFire,

yes the mobo is a Tiger i7505 (S2668AN)....

Hi Zhentar, Hi Shadow, Someone else just said the same.... As for the the CPU fans, I am using the stock CPU fans on the dual Xeon 2.4s. I am all for the idea of replacing them for that is where most the noise is coming from...my mobo is a Tyan Tiger and the CPU slots are side by side...would an aft...

Hi Shadow, Thanks for the feedback... I am using the 120 mm fan that comes with the Antec Sontota Case...so you think I need a second bay fan? Wasn't aware that only the one was sufficient for the 12 volt required to run the dual board/CPUs... Yes, I am using the stock CPU fans on the dual Xeon 2.4s...

Hello all, I'm brand new here and was wondering if anyone can help me... I just built a dual 2.4 Xeon machine to use as the powerhouse in my recording studio...I bought the NAtec Sonata anticipating noise levels... But of course the dual xeon fans are as loud as can be....there is no way I can work ...
