What kind of heatsinks to you guys use for your cpuÂ´s?

Asmoday · Jun 12, 2002, 04:51 PM

I use the Zalman CNPS5005-Cu...and iÂ´m quit happy with it...

Frodo301 · Jun 12, 2002, 05:07 PM

I have the old black Thermoengine with a delta fan on my 1900XP. Temps 39c idle & about 42-45c under a load. Depends on room temps too and my room varies alot.

Doomtrooper · Jun 12, 2002, 05:22 PM

Thermalright SK6...works great

dipstick · Jun 12, 2002, 05:36 PM

Just replaced my original DragonOrb with a Volcano7+ and I'm speechless. It's dropped my temps by 8 degrees celcius and isn't too loud(when in medium-4500rpm-fan speed). This thing gets a 10 in my book.

DaSnIpE · Jun 12, 2002, 07:40 PM

I got the Volcano 7, and it dropped CPU temps 10 C, but still, I'm idling at 48-51, and maxing at 53-55, so dunno.

digitalwanderer · Jun 12, 2002, 08:19 PM

A golden orb on the PIII800 and a cheapy, no-name, copper-plated with aluminum fins, generic-budge cheapy that I am still kicking myself for wasting money on on my 1Ghz Celery.

Should I dump what I got and go for this Volcano7 everyone keeps raving about? The wife just found out how overboard I went on the son's computer and didn't freak out or even get pissed...so I figure I might be able to push my luck a little more....

jrobbio · Jun 12, 2002, 08:21 PM

I have the Cooler master HC-001. It keeps my Athlon XP 2000+ at around 40 degrees so I presume thats good. Its really noisy though which is a bit of a setback

dipstick · Jun 12, 2002, 08:22 PM

Are you using thermal grease or a pad? I use Arctic Silver 2 and temps hit a hi of 44C while folding. I highly recommend you try some if you haven't already, otherwise I would blame poor case ventilation.

Ryoko · Jun 12, 2002, 08:27 PM

coolermaster (no idea what model) aluminum hs, 4500rpm 60mm fan (quieter than any of my hard drives) and my temps (1.2ghz @ 1360) are 48c idle, 53c full use.

(sorry for my overuse of parentheses)

Been thinking about getting one of those, I'm tired of the afterburners of the delta. I don't mind the noise, just not all the time.

Alpha PAL with a Papst 80mm 21dB rated fan
Quiet and cool

I don't know if it's a Delta fan but it really isn't that loud at all. As long as you don't put it on high, it's ok. You can even run it at low fan speeds with very very low noice levels-of course it won't cool as good. It has also gotten quieter over the last few days, maybe it broke-in or something

Vampyromaniac · Jun 13, 2002, 07:52 AM

Artic Silver 3

Alpha PAL 8045 (had to file down a corner 3mm, it's so big

)

Mechatronics 80x80x25mm Fan (4200 rpm, 53 CFM, 39 dB)

Temps: mid-40's ÂºC

Perfect set-up for me

JavaFox · Jun 13, 2002, 08:04 AM

On my Thunderbird 1.4GHz @ 1.53GHz, I run a ThermalTake Volcano 7, modified to run at 7V instead of 12V. Soon to be replaced by a Swiftech watercooler.

On my brother's Duron 800MHz, I run an El Cheapo CoolerMaster Draco (it's crap -- won't cool an Athlon above 1GHz).

My poison of choice is Arctic Alumina. I find Arctic Silver (and knock-off products) to be unbearably hard to clean up. And, really, I'm of the belief that thermal compound is thermal compound is thermal compound.

blix9 · Jun 14, 2002, 07:27 AM

Arkua 7228 with stock fan on 1800XP. It's loud but sounds pretty cool like my PC is some kind of high-end work station or something. Kind of high pitched humming sound. I still don't like the loudness.

Temp seems to be at 41-43 Celcius idle. I don't know how to check out the temp at full load.
Someone tell me.

WyreTheWolf · Jun 14, 2002, 11:25 AM

ThermalRight AX-7 heatsink, with a Panaflo 80mm 40CFM fan. Mounted onto a AMD AthlonXP 2100+ @ 1.9 GHz, using Arctic Silver II. Idles at 32*C, Loads at 44*C.

sweet jesus... hope it doesn't keep you up at night

UberLord · Jun 17, 2002, 04:06 PM

Whats the CFM and dB ratings of that fan? I bet its very loud given that size.

Try investigating fans made by papst as they run very very quiet with good CFM ratings.

shuki · Jun 18, 2002, 06:13 PM

alpha pal 8045 with 80x80x25 delta. keeps me at 43 idle, 46 load in a 26 room with a 31 mobo.

highpingdrifter · Jun 18, 2002, 10:08 PM

just got the volcano7+ and keeping the fan speed at medium idle=42 load=47

Greebo_x · Jun 19, 2002, 08:11 PM

Coolermaster, all-copper. With good case cooling I am keeping my XP 1700+ at around 34C and the system temp usually around 31C. Here's where I purchased it; I bought it there because they had a good price on OEM CPUs at that time, and they increase their warranty for OEM CPUs to 1 year if you buy a cooler from them at the same time...

Mine runs normally at 37c on the processor but can go to as high as 65c under heavy load.

Asmoday · Jun 23, 2002, 11:36 AM

hmmm....am i the only one who have chosen the zalman way..?
Btw...i forgot to post my temps,so here they are.. room temp 26degrees C case temp 31C and cpu idle temp 38c heavyload 42-44c....and it look like this..

HsuGotaQ · Jun 23, 2002, 02:40 PM

Modded Volcano 7 (put that freakin heat sensor near the center of the heatsink, and lowered it to 7V). The temps :

@ 1GHz (133FSB)
IDLE : 24*C
LOAD : 39*C

@ 1.15GHz (150FSB)
IDLE : 29*C
LOAD : 41*C

Odd enough, the fan runs generally always at 3500 - 3800 rpm even on load. Also got four case fans keep the rest of the system cool (between 19*C & 28*C).
