Heatsink question

drakesteakn · Feb 26, 2004, 05:56 AM

i am going to be getting a new P4 machine in the coming month and i want a good heatsink for it. i am looking for a good copper heatsink with a 80mm fan that is replacable with a bigger and better one. i'm going to be getting a new 3.0 Prescott chip. and i will be using a Asus P4C800-E DELUXE motherboard.

thanx for any suggestions.

Try some thermalright solutions, those work quite nicely =)

SP-97 or something like that its the very best cooler out there for Air not sure on the name really but I'm sure someone will come along who knows more

drakesteakn · Feb 26, 2004, 05:25 PM

drakesteakn · Feb 26, 2004, 05:36 PM

I went shopping a few days ago to replace my AMD system with Intel.

I got the 2.4C, Thermalright SP-94 (gonna be using a Thermaltake SmartFanII on it) and the P4C800-E Deluxe.

you made a very good choice, that is the BEST heatsink out right now for Intel solutions, wish I had a 92MM Tornado though

its ok I'll live.

the funny thing is i'm getting a Asus P4C800-e Deluxe, how does it do?

and i just gave my friend my 92mm tornado a couple of days ago. now i need to go get another one

scobywhru · Feb 27, 2004, 05:25 AM

my ears are hurting just thinking about one of those 92mm Tornado fans running..... though thats why I am a big fan of watercooling

i use a vantec fan controller for all my tornado fans.

so its not bad unless i want to turn them on high. which i really don't do that often cuz of how loud they are.

i think everyone that heard that comp. remembers that set up. it haunts them when they are trying to sleep. they can still here the roar of the fans.

I personally think Thermalright makes the best Heatsinks out there. I have the SLK-900u for my 2500+ and I am still drop-jawed at the temps I get..... Just crazy cool......

be sure to switch it around. u'll get better performance from it now

tek · Feb 28, 2004, 09:13 PM

Vantec's are loud yeah, but dont we all have a fan controller by now? At least custom home-made ones?

I dont know how it is yet cause I havent set up my P4 system yet (still waiting for the MOBO to arrive).

But craig (he got banned) told me he had his P4 @ 3.5GHz 1.6V or more and his CPU was at 22C idle with a 92MM Tornado on the SP-94, so it MUST be good!

i already have 2 vantec tornados in my present computer, and i do make sure i use a fan controller with them. these things get loud on high. i keep mine at 4000RPM and they are bearable

krazy1 · Feb 29, 2004, 03:45 AM

I took my vantec tornados and built a hair dryer for my wife.......

Just kidding.... I do own one but it just sits on my parts shelf and has never been used by me. It was given to me by a friend.

u should use it. they are good fans, even at the lower settings

I have no use for it... My system runs plenty cool. I have 4 Vantec Stealth 80mm fans for case cooling, 1 Vantec TMD fan for Video cooling and 1 Thermaltake SmartFan II for CPU cooling (w/ SLK-900U) My CPU under load is 34C and at idle it is 29C. Case temp is 21-24C. With those temps their is no need for a Tornado....

Necrosis · Feb 29, 2004, 05:38 AM

I've been hearing instead of using the 92 fans on the Thermalrights that the 70's work better because there is more air flow to the center of the heatsink. I don't have a 70 laying around to try this but it's been said it makes a 10-15 degrees difference!!!

scobywhru · Feb 29, 2004, 05:48 AM

I've never bothered with a fanbus, my experience with a 60mm 7500RPM fan turned me away from fans in general, now I go with as few as possible, Watercooling,

and my ears have never felt better, Just have to get around to removing those last few fans

and water cool that PSU, then I can just use a nice quiet 120 mm Fan and Later my Old car Radiator. no noise save for the HDD and Optical Drives, just won't be the easiest thing to move to LANs at Friends houses and other events

EDIT: Why not use the bigger fan and a Standoff, take another 92MM Fan and remove the outer case and use it so you can get more airflow to all the fins
