dario_92 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Ok, so i got the Cool IT ECO A.L.C and for my liking its a little bit noisy, i liked my AC freezer pro7 rev.2 but i sold it on i was wondering what heatsink would be good for my i5-760 @ 3.20GHz, i know 3.20GHZ aint a high overclock my temperture just now (idle) is 32c. I mostly play games such as l4d l4d2 bfbc2 killingfloor test drive 2 all the crysis's. Just anything that would keep it nice and cool and quite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Why not set the fans to ramp up automatically as the temp rises? I know the fan that comes with the ECO ALC is 4 pin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dario_92 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 it is not the fans that are the problem it is the heatsink/pump. It is louder than i expected and i prefer air coolers but i am now stuck to what to get Is the Thermaltake Frio anygood ? and i also seen the Fenrir Titan EVO that advertises on this forum, are these worth having a look at or worth buying ?

Waco Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 If your pump is anything other than silent there's something wrong with it. Both my and BluePanda's pumps were dead silent. Make sure you have it running at full speed (we used the 3-pin to 4-pin molex adapters to make sure). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F13Bubba Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I run my i5 750 at 3.68ghz with a Hyper 212+. It's the same temps as a stock HSF, so I'm sure 3.2 would be nice and cool and quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I over-clocked my I3-550 to 4.5Ghz with it--idles slightly above room tempts and maxes at 64C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F13Bubba Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Hell, I'll trade you my 212 for the eco lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I'd still suggest sending it in for RMA service...the pump should be silent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zao8350 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 If you don't get the pump checked out the Noctua d14 is amazing. I have one and my temps dropped 20c. Craziest part is that I live in GA and was getting temps of around 70 when encoding a blu ray in december but i'm getting highs of 37 when doing the same thing now. And it has been 90 the past few days. I can't hear it either, just my terrible case fans... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I've been watercooling systems for years and although I've never owned a closed loop system...the pump is always the most silent piece. I've had pumps with bearing problems get noisy, but that was due to faulty parts. Have you checked your mounting to make sure everything is tight and as it should be? Pumps can introduce a lot of vibration and noise if you don't secure them properly and any vibration in a case can lead to annoying noises. The price of the 212+ is so cheap that I would buy one as a backup and send the ECO in for repair. Once you get it back from service you'll have a nice spare HSF that can come in handy when testing or putting systems together.

bishop245 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 i agree with Nuclear rma the coolit after you get the 212 but if you want the better performance get the d14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dario_92 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 So i RMA'd my coolit and i got it back this morning, i installed everything and get it running. It was silent for about 2 hours then it was making loud noises again. Am i better just getting the h70 or something similar ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
