BROWNjello109 Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I don't know if I would say it is stock because there is a 1/2 inch copper heat sink along with the aluminum over it. Well, I picked one of those babies up at the computer show on sunday for 5 bucks and I thought it would run silently due to the fact that it is "stock." I strapped it on, plugged it in, and BAM! Instead of being silent, the thing ran louder than before! It does help my temperature by 6 degrees, but still! I dont want an airplane in my room. So my question is, is this normal for "stock" Cpu hsf? I might as well throw the old one back in and strap on an exhaust instead. I have an Antec SLK1600, and the metal is pretty nice and thick. I dont know... thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazwegion Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Change the fan on it with a lower RPM unit, OR add a fan rheobus/controller to reduce the RPM's of the unit fitted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worker Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Maybe a good stock cooling fan. Or it has a high RPM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
