BionicSniper Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) i Sent an email to thermalright about my temprature problems and they replied Hi *** Do you have a second computer? You can send the heatsink back to us so we can inspect on it. If it's faulty from manufacturing, we will send you a replacement. Thank you for choosing Thermalright! Chris Lee Thermalright, Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: **************** To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 11:26 AM Subject: support hey I bought a si-97 about 2 months ago and my temps keep rising! i have reattached the cooler 3 times (adding a fresh coat of as5 each time after cleaning the core and the heatsync). I have a 60cfm panaflo fan (92mm) on it and it is blowing up where 2 40cfm fans are pullng air out. i also have 2 40 cfm fans in the front pulling air in. My chip is a amd 2500+ running at 2.3ghz (2303mhz). With the stock cooler i would get 55*c under full load (and when i had stock cooling i only had 21cfm fans in there) now i get 60*c under load. I took these temps with the onboard sensor and a probe. do you guys have any idea what is wrong also the case is a tower and the heatpipes are facing twords the front of the case please help, ************** shuld i put the old heatsync back on and send this back in??

r_target Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 That's cool that they're going to straighten you out. Now pack it up and hustle on down to UPS/Fed-Ex. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewkivela Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 how long did it take for them to reply to you? -drew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) Funny, i know it wont make a diffrence but my heat pipes are facing the back of the case And why are they asking if you have another computer <_< Edited February 17, 2005 by kobalt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 And why are they asking if you have another computer <_< 421011[/snapback] Probably because they want him to send the heatsink back and use the second computer while its being RMA'ed.

Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Just out of curiosity, you did try flipping the fan over so it blows down through the fins, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_WRATH Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 isnt that how your suppose to have the fan positioned in the first place.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Yeah, traditionally heatsinks are designed to have the fan blow down. That's so that the air is blowing onto the hottest part of the heatsink (the base), though with the advent of heatpipes it may not matter as much now.

The_WRATH Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 yeah, still, you got heat and you still need to get rid of it somehow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
