azndragon328 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 currently im am using stock cooling, my idlel temp is 39c load max at 45c, i have a volcno 9 on my old 800 duron, would the volcno 9 cool my amd 2600 better then the stock. since the volcano 9 could only cool up to 2600, do you guys think if i put the volcano 9 on my 2600 would it be cooler then 39c on idle with the fan set to the lowest rpm thanks in advance kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Running with a Volcano 7+, I'd say I doubt it. I'd kill for numbers like those. I'm running with 43 C idle and 52 load Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azndragon328 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 i thought a volcano 7+ was better than the volcano 9...how can it be worst then mine stock cooling , maybe because you have the througbred, but iono... does anyone know if it would help my barton if i use the volcano 9...

andrusk Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 the volcano 9 is better than stock, but id recommend getting something else like a slk900(a) or something of that nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azndragon328 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 ok its better, but would it still cool better even if i leave the fan on the lowest rpm, since i wacth movies on my computer and want it wuite sometime, i'm kinda tight on money since i just built my system, and i don't work since im still in high school, but i have a volcano in my old comp just wondering... if it would cool my 2600barton lower then 39c on idle if the volcno9 is left on the lowest rpm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravix Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 I say to just try it out. It isn't very hard to switch heatsinks. Put on the v9, see the difference, then make your decision. Â Oh, and make sure you give us the results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azndragon328 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 uhm...im not a fan of messing with the cpu since i don't got the cash to mess things up...well i'm not really welling to put on as3 and void the warranty until after 3 year: , so i want some really good advice before i decide to switch it, does anyone have a volcano 9 on a 2600barton? tell me your result if possible, but thanks for the advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrusk Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 heres some good advice. Put as5 on your chip and forget about it. AMD isnt gonna deny an rma cause you used as5. They claim it voids the warranty but if you clean off the compound good enough they wont even know what you used. Besides, unless you overclock your chip or put your heatsink on extremely the wrong way, nothing is gonna happen to your chip. If you want to keep a low temp and have low noise, get a better heatsink than the volcano 9, something like the slk900(a) or something like that, cause itll cool much better, that way you can turn down the fan and get comparable temperatures.
