eedijs Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Have you overclocked already? Nope, I can't because if I overclock a bit, windows starts crashing. I guess the temp is too high? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Are you following a guide? I know OC'ing on non BE processors can be a little...uh...risky? I don't know how to put it... I actually fried my friend's Athlon II because I didn't know what I was doing. LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET3D Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I'm using a TX3 with my Phenom II X6 1090T and it works decently. I'm not overclocking, but the 1090T's power use is probably not that far from that of an overclocked X4 810. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I used a TX3 (fan bracket version) on a 955be (overclocked it by 800Mhz) and now I'm using it on my 8350. The fan is pretty loud but then again you get what you pay for . Hopefully I'll pick something up in the not too distant future to replace it so I can thrash the 8350 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET3D Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Nope, I can't because if I overclock a bit, windows starts crashing. I guess the temp is too high? Not necessarily. Could be the PSU is too weak, could be that you need to increase voltage, ... Also the 810 has a locked multiplier, so overclocking depends on changing bus speeds. That can easily go wrong if your motherboard or on of the other components affected (RAM) isn't too tolerant of that. Also 3.6Gz is a little ambitious. It may be possible, but since I wrote the previous paragraph I googled for a few overclocking results, and many reviews didn't get this high. I think that there's a good chance your attempts to overclock have failed not because of the cooler, so read more about overclocking your CPU and try to get a small overclock without buying a new cooler. Once you get that working (find out what's been stopping you), buy a cooler. I think that the TX3 would work well enough.

eedijs Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 How well would tx3 work? By how many degrees did your temperature drop when compared to a stock cooler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I used a tx3 for about a year and had a decent oc with it, so if the price is right go for it. only his amd will run alot hotter then that sandy bridge of yours ;P I didn't use it on my i7, used it on a amd 550 be unlocked to 4 cores and oc'ed to 3.6 , It kept the temps to about 50c under load, about 12 to 15c below the stock cooler.edit> The tx3 will get a bit loud because it uses a 92 mm fan and spins faster than a 120mm but it was not as loud as my case fans so really didn't notice it.

Boinker Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Really for Latvia Europe I would guess the best way around that would be to get something locally. Im not sure what kind of VAT or import tax you would encounter but http://www.aquatuning.se/index.php/cPath/1162 I would guess would be the nearest etailer to you. Other then that good luck dude. From what I have experienced Aquatuning is reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have experienced Aquatuning is reliable. I'm with him! I water cool. maybe to expensive, but think about it in the future. I run one loop for the CPU and the video card. Both of them run about 40 degrees centigrade when I'm gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
