i'm thinking of replacing my current "intel certified" hsf. <_< :D . i'm not gonna spend too much, $25 max. whats the best hsf and where can i get it? can please, vb and clocker, post something helpful
anyone?
what do u recommend clocker? i'm looking at something with a high rpm fan and good heatsink. and don't exceed 25-30 please.
I really don't know Abu.
I would first get a 60 to 80mm fan adaptor and a 80mm fan and try that.
Those stock heatsinks are pretty good and I'll bet you would see an improvement just doing the conversion ( and spending a lot less money)..
Converting my stock AMD HS worked just as well as my $50 Zalman....
i wish i could do that. my fan on the hs has an x across it. i can't remove that. how would the fan adapter work if the fan isn't directly hooked up to it?Quote:

Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu Aluminum + Copper CPU Cooler
This one weighs less than the all-copper version, and still works on Socket A, Socket 478, and Socket 754. It’s big and won’t fit every board, but it's very effective and quiet.
that's a bit expensive.Quote:

Stay away from that one. It's not a standard fan so, not easy to replace.
is that the x you were refering to in your other post? :PQuote:

what about the thermal take one?
I also don't like that one. Very noisy and I have installed a few similar to that one and was disappointed by the performance.Quote:

looks cool. 6000 rpm fan. wat do u think?
ok. wat do u recommend that's under $30?
Abu, I have the AMD counterpart to that HS/F, that Im using RIGHT NOW. And it has adequate cooling, if u can stand to turn it up all the way.
Im not bashing my own new HS/F, but the thing is like a vaccum cleaner, and it serves about the same purpose.
Good cooler, but its loud on full speed. I will have to plug in the temp controlled setting later on tonight, see how that goes.
thing is my idle temp is rising. and i don't wnat it to. i don't really care bout noise level. just fan speed and how much it can cool my cpu. can u guys recommend any under $30?
well, the thermaltake one says:
so unless u guys can come up with anything better, i might get this oneQuote:
Application for Intel P4 478 FMB2, 3.2GHz and higher.
looks like the only bad review is the noise levelQuote:

and it keeps it under 100F after playing mafia or tron 2, thats not bad. not bad at all. i don't mind the noise. unless anyone can come up iwht something better, i'm getting this oneQuote:
This is the first review I have written for NewEgg.com but I think this is a fan deserving of a little feedback. As far as cooing goes the Spark 7 is more than adequate.
It keeps my P-IV 3.06 Sub 100f even throughout an hour or 2 of Mafia or Tron 2.o...impressive.
It also terrifies my cats, keeps my fiance awake and emits a Jet engine-like scream.
Operating at anything above 4,200 rpm will deafen you...operating at anything beow 4,200 runs the risk of burning up your cpu. It as a real Catch-22.
Further, the fan speed control mechanism is very fragile. When switching from auto-adjust to manual configurations can be tricky.
I am sick of the sound and switching to the Zalman CNPS7000 ASAP.
Abu, the problem here is that you want the best results but are unwilling to pay what it takes to get them.
The new Thermalright 94 Heatpipe cooler is apparently the new king of the hill, but it will cost you around $50.
Why spend $30 just to get a modest increase in performance when more money will really make a difference?
Although you say that noise isn't a problem I don't believe you.
Dollars to doughnuts, in six weeks you'll be back bitching about the sound level, and probably the temps, too.
Save up your money and get the best.
doesn't the heatpipe require a fan too? well, we'll see bout the sound thing. it has a speed control. so i'm pretty sure i'll be fine. if u have $20 to spend, which u do ;) , u can donate it to me. then i can buy the heatpipe. but for now, sory. but tell me wat u think bout this one. and if there's any better for under $30. after this, it's wc all the way. but that won't be for another year or so. with this, i can oc a bit more.Quote:

Yes the heatpipe cooler requires a fan.
Sorry, but I don't have an extra $20 to donate to your project.
I'm not sure why you think I'm rich, but you are sadly mistaken.
Go right ahead and get the HSF you have chosen.
If you see more than a 10% drop in temps I'll be surprised.
ok. wat do u suggest for under $30?Quote:

I don't think that your results will be commeasurate with your outlay.
Do you have a pic of your stock HS?
Or a link?
this is all i could find. read my other thread on hsfs.Quote:

i'm pretty sure this is the hsf i have
EDIT: btw, the fan never went up to 5000, and it's aluminum. and my temps are at 40C idle! wtf! i havn't oced anything either
anyone wanna give some suggestions?
cmon. anyone?

they are turbine fans, and r quieter than the others. plus they get the air on the whole thing so...
but not sure how much it is. try googling it

i meant nothing further than wat i had b4 (2.6)
will the aero 4 cool my cpu from 39C to maybe 30C or less idle?

Don't forget Abu, that the HS is only as good as the air it is getting.
Unless you can manage to somehow duplicate your rather miraculous HDD results, if the HS is being fed warm air then the results will not improve too much.
Maybe you could try to improve your general case temps first and see if that helps your stock Intel HSF....
does the hole side face the back of the case or the front? if it faces the back, then i'll flip one of my exhaust fans to blow cool air rite into the hsf. but does it face the back or the front?
wat's the difference between the aero jet and the aero 4? other than that hte jet looks cooler. they both have similar specs.
wat do they mean when they day "lap the base"? it's talking bout the hsf i know, but wat does lapping mean?
Many fans have an arrow embossed on the side that points in the direction of airflow.
If not, certainly you can feel which direction it's currently blowing.
Try swapping your rear fans so they are both blowing in.
yea. i'm thinking of doing that. but 1st tell me wat lapping meansQuote:

Check the base of your HS by running your fingernail across it.
If it doesn't feel absolutely smooth then it should be lapped.
Basically what they are talking about is sanding it...typically using very fine wet/dry paper on a piece of glass.
That's not really lapping, but it's what they mean....
