supra411 Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Hi: I have a P4 2.4Ghz, and I was wondering if anybody knows a good cooling heatsink and fan for my P4. I like the Volcano series, but it seems that they are only for Athlon's ... Thx Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazwegion Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 (edited) Here this is a Heatpipe Heatsink from nPower Tek (TTIC)... it's for P4's, (I'd like the AMD version, with the next upgrade) in the top 10 ratings, it performs just under the SLK-900... with about half the noise! Ambient 50W 100W Fan noise Thermalright (high) SLK-900U 20.0 31.6 40.5 very loud nPowertek NPH-1 22.1 34.3 45.4 med JMC 401100 19.5 35.1 47.4 med Zalman CNPS7000-Cu 21.0 35.1 48.7 low Here's the link to the review @ FrostyTech Edited November 5, 2003 by tazwegion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainou-Kun Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 tazwegion, Thats one Big sync, But may be worth the weight risk and a worthy oppoent to water cooling. And Its quite, Not that loud would bother me anyways haveing 12 fans right now. ^^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximo Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 look on google for SP-94 (best heatsink made) and the vantec 92mm tornado pumps nearly 120cfm but get a fan controll dial its loud as **** I've been thinking about getting this set up but was wondering how LOUD would the tornado be turned down to 7v. Since I've read nothing but post like..." just installed my tornado, now I'm deaf"...so any idea what kind of cfm,dba, it would make would be great.

AYoKoNA Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 supra- the probes are off my mobo so I don't know if they are the "case temps", but I have an "ambient temperature probe" on my video card and its about 2 degrees higher than the system temperature... maximo- My delta is super loud. I have to turn the t.v. volume up, computer speakers up, and on top of my 92mm 123 cfm delta hsf, I also have an 80mm tornado fan for exhaust, and a 120mm 125cfm ystech for the side panel. All 3 fans put out the most cfms, as well as dba ofcourse. I did a search on google when i purchased it and one site was real helpful becaue they tested each fan on the hs, showing the diff't results. Can't remember what site it was...

I usually have a case temp of 28 C, should i be worried if i want to do some serious overclocking? I also have a cpu temp of 40-41 C idle and 51 C when I'm running folding@home. Does the case temp have anything to do with such high temps? Thx Ricky Edited November 5, 2003 by supra411 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie b Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 nah, case temp tells you more about circulation than anything else, although a 12-14C difference between case and processor temps is a bit unusual.... What HSF are you using? What thermal compound? How long has it been on? Is your HSF seated correctly? It seems like your case temps are low, so I'm asking to be sure that everything is correct with your processor temps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stock cooling, with a thermal grease I got from the same place where I got the chip ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
