hardnrg Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 The AC Freezer 7 Pro sucks... it was ok for dual core 939 CPUs... but even then, only OK... For a quad CPU, it's pretty much useless... maybe if you run the fan at 12V instead of from the motherboard header, it might be a *bit* better... but the problem is the heatsink itself can't cope with overclocked quad core load very well at all...

paulktreg Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Never mind about that, I just thought it was before. Checked it, its blowing out. You said it was blowing warm air onto your CPU not me. Only trying to help! Cross you of my Christmas List. Cheers Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, one of the reviews of it said the exact same processor was able to get up to 4ghz and keep it relatively cool...different conditions i guess. Would adding another fan on top of the 120mmoutake help? It seems to with the side fans. Edited June 24, 2009 by hi6908 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Tom Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 If you're in any way handy, drilling some holes in the top of your case would probably help you quite a bit. Since more air is going out of your case than is being brought in, the air from the holes will help to equalize it. If you're worried about dust, you could always buy a 120mm fan filter, or just use thin fabric. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi6908 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I could probably do that if I have enough time, any specific way to do that? Also maybe drill in the front drive bay covers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Don't just start whacking holes everywhere though, you either need to tape off EVERYTHING or remove all your hardware. Even a tiny tiny tiny piece of metal shavings in the wrong spot can cause you to have a really bad a day... That being said you might as well go all out and make a top blow hole. Another option would be to mod your AC Freezer, rip off that crappy stock "fan" and mod a better one onto it. It may not look great but I'm willing to bet that it would drop your temps pretty good. Also as everyone else said, just spend like 15 minutes fixing up your wiring. Not only will it help your temps but it will make the inside of your windowed case more presentable...

hi6908 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I fixed the wiring, unfortunatly I am now out of ties for that, so I cant take stuff out to drill holes in the top until I have some more. Try it when i can though. If I can get more thermal compound, might also try reseating it EDIT: Got some AS5 and ties, going to drill soon.

hi6908 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Ok done with all that. "Modded"(tied) a 60mm fan on top of the freezer pro 7, added a VERY loud fan on the new holes I made in the top. The BIOS reset itself so I have to redo OCing, but right now, prime95 stays under 50C on all cores. going to buy a fan filter and a fan to replace the incredibly loud one.
