amd 64 cpu cooler choice poll/you can make multiple choice

Ubergrendle · Mar 8, 2005, 02:57 PM

I didn't vote since I'm running the retail stock cooler.

Baed on what I've read, people are getting 20-25% better mhz with the Winchesters with STOCK air cooling and minimal voltage increases. I'm not o'clocking yet but its nice to know I've got headroom w/o any serious intervention right off the bat.

I'd be interested in how much further these more elaborate cooling systems can push a rig....

kelticknight · Mar 8, 2005, 03:52 PM

l have clawhammer and stock cooler that came with cpu ran the hotest.l put in gigabyte 3d cooler and its the loudest and not the coolest running cooler,thats why lm changing it. these where the pick of the bunch from what l have read.if there better,i'd like to know.at moment down to these.at moment seems xp-90.l would get freezer 64 as its cools at low speed what others cool at high,but heard few probs with fan not working properly

Dark Lord · Mar 8, 2005, 03:59 PM

ive got an A64 3200+ @ stock (clawhammer i think) and run a ThermalTake Venus12 on it. i idle at 29-31C and after 8hours of running TOAST i maxed at 48.

kelticknight · Mar 8, 2005, 04:01 PM

another-user ,never looked at venus,check it out.what you think of other l picked

DutchShadow · Mar 8, 2005, 04:15 PM

Why don´t you include de cooler which is provided with the boxed edition? It´s actually the most effective cooler I´ve used so far....

Dark Lord · Mar 8, 2005, 04:24 PM

i dont know much about those other coolers, i got my hs when i finished my comp last june.... july.... somewhere around then, so i didnt have any where near the choice then as you do now.

kelticknight · Mar 8, 2005, 04:32 PM

l did use the stock cooler that came with cpu and then l used the 3d pro from gigabyte and it cooled better ,but is louder.some of these cooler like the xp-90 cool the same as 3d pro with less speed

kelticknight · Mar 9, 2005, 06:52 PM

Asmodeus · Mar 11, 2005, 05:44 PM

Congrats should be a great piece of gear. I am using the Thermalright XP120 and it works great. Have heard great things about the 90 as well

The_Neon_Cowboy · Mar 11, 2005, 08:20 PM

I've got a Zalman 7000 cu, that I had on my old P4 2.6GHz and it worked great, it is compatible with my 1.8GHz AMD64. Just haven't got around to fitting it yet as I think I have to take the motherboard out to do it

kelticknight · Mar 11, 2005, 09:18 PM

Most Of The Good Cooler ,you Have To Take Out The Motherboard,same With Me,when L Get Xp-90 Next Week,as Long As Does The Job ,i'll Be Happy To Do It

kelticknight · Mar 15, 2005, 05:48 PM

just got e-mail from thermalright saying that using xp-120 with abit av8 or simular will loose you the use of slot1[closest to cpu] because of high and depth and xp-90 is best choice and is only 1-2 degree differance between the two
might be useful info if someone is asking this question
cheers

Somnambulator · Mar 16, 2005, 04:47 AM

3200+ winny @ 10x235, 32-34 C idle, 37-40 C load. doesnt get much better than that.

will have my new RAM soon, and ill really be able to unleash this chip and show just how great this cooler is. if you're an overclocker, you're gonna wanna go with the XP90/120 - tried and true great performer (and only 24.99 at SVC.com with promo code found on site). if youre after quiet, the zalman is a great choice.

ive read of many OCers ditching their Zalmans for the XP90 b/c it just couldnt cool well enough for the voltages they were using (1.5+)

kelticknight · Mar 16, 2005, 10:24 PM

got xp-90 and 92mm fan.will install over weekend

kelticknight · Mar 26, 2005, 10:53 PM

Just Saw A Review Of A New Xp-90c Which Is All Copper,same Design As Xp-90 And Cools 2-4 Degrees Cooler.weighs 660g's Without Fan.no Plans To Release Xp-120 In Copper

kelticknight · Mar 29, 2005, 06:08 PM

xp-90 installed.there a drop of 6-8 degrees over gigibyte 3d cooler,so worth it and also quieter

krips · Mar 29, 2005, 06:39 PM

Freezer 64 gets my vote. Really they're all great coolers though. I'd be happy with the XP-90, 7700, or freezer64.

kelticknight · Mar 29, 2005, 06:48 PM

would have considered the freezer64 only the fan blows in direction of psu,so that was out.lm happy with performance of xp-90
