Guest Ryn Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 I would say the Big Typhoon paired with a good fan. I used to have an XP-120 but the big typhoon is just a tad better in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1lk1 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 XP-90 with a 45CFM 120MM fan mounted on it keeps me around 24C idle, 45C full load after 8 hours of prime. By far the best for the money. I fan a 79CFM 92MM fan on it and got slightly higher temps. It's not the speed of the but the amount. Everyone with an XP-90 should mount a 120MM on it. These temps are @ 2.8GHz @ 1.68V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

-CsA-TAZ Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Well people i use the gigabyte pro and im happy that it never goes over 38c even with the heating on it never goes above 38c, only the idle temps vary between 26 and 29 depending on room temps, for ALL you people banging on about what’s best etc, judging by what temps some of you have reported its worth mentioning that the STOCK HSF does a good job too, my temps with that was 30 idle and 45 loaded so lets face it people they are all good HSF including the stock one!

bozotheclown Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I trust your figures are accurate but wonder if your definition of full load is 1 prime running small ffts on each core, dual prime:)? My X2 4400+ running 300x9, 270x10, 246x11 idles at 32degrees with the stock AMD heatpipe hsf running 2700rpm! and under full load (dual prime) gets 51celcius with the stock heatpipe cooler. With a Pabst 1600rpm(54cfm) fan with 120->80mm fan converter on the amd heatpipe cooler it hets 55celcius under full dual prime load. My vcore is a lot lower than yours so I wonder if you can tell a bit more on circumstances, case, what is full load in your case etc. My NZXT Lexa case has 3 120mm fans and 1 80mm fan, my psu has a 120mm fan as well. 2 120mm fans blow air into the case, 2 suck it out and 1 80mm fan sucks air out as well. btw. when I run prime the default way my 'full load' temp is 43-44celcius with the 80mm fan but also with the 120mm fan on the cooler. I own a thermaltake big typhoon. Got my system at 305*9 at 1.64V. My cpu is about 33-35 degrees in idle with the fan on the typhoon switched off!!! Yes you saw when idle and do very little work on the cpu i can keep the fan turned off. During load it runs around 43-46 degrees with the fan spinning at 1300rpm. I'm very satiesfied.

Dark_Templar Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I used both XP120 and Zalman CNPS 9500. Zalman cools better for me.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozotheclown Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 hm, I did the Zalman thing and I must say it didn't keep my ocd x2 cool and it made a lot of noise in it's failed efforts to keep it cool. I used both XP120 and Zalman CNPS 9500. Zalman cools better for me.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozotheclown Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I'm gonna do us all a favour;) I've just ordered the Scythe Ninja instead of an SI120. I'm gonna test/use it with a Pabst 1600rpm 120mm fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDude05 Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Asus X-Mars. Kept my Opteron 148 at 23-25c idle, 30-38c load in a 23c environment. Is currently keeping my FX-57 at 30c idle, and 33-42c load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaolin95 Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 My vote is for the one in my sig...Scythe Ninja. Big Typhoon will be my second best in performance but the Ninja performs better or at the very least on par with it and offers more flexibility.

Mord Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I'm using the Tt Sonic Tower . Man, it's a monster. :eek2: :eek: With a good airflow and no fan on it my [email protected], 1.45V maxes at 52*. With one 120mm Tt blue led fan @970rpm - 44*, @1900rpm (max) - 38*. (fan out) With one 120mm CM red led fan @550rpm - 46*, @1150rpm (max) - 42*. (fan in between) With two 120mm CM red led fans @550rpm - 41*, @1150rpm (max) - 38*. (one out, one in between) All temps are at ambient 22*C. The last setup is simply CRAZY, an overkill for the board! Absolutely silent, not a sound. I haven't had any problems to date. Only con is the mounting of the Tower.
