Miami Dave Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 hmm that looks like it could be quite effective in my case. I wonder if it fits inside my case shroud/wind tunnel thing. Any one know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 Oh and another question, when I remove my old CPU Heatsink, should I clean off any compound that's placed on my CPU before putting on the Arctic Silver compound? Is so, is there a procedure to follow? Thanks, 571208[/snapback] This is where "Reading the manual" comes in handy. On the side of the AS tube: Please see instructions at: www.arcticsilver.com http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm As for the Zalman and its performance, it's the best temp/noise ratio. it doesnt give the lowest temps not the absolute silent opeation (though it is close) it does do great temps at low noise.

ICON57 Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 my bro just installed his new zalman 9500, he was using a zalman 7000b, and his results are a 12c drop in load temps. and it is very easy to install...btw he is using a skt 478 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmahal Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I just installed the Zalman fan I ordered and used the arctic silver 5 compound as well. The installation wasn't too bad ... even for a novice such as myself. I noticed around a 12-15c drop in load temperature. However, I think in my case, my computer probably had a larger than normal drop since when I took off the stock cooler, I noticed there was no thermal greace between the CPU and the heatsink. That might explain why I was getting load temps of 55 - 61c on my Athlon X2 4400. So what's all this about Arctic silver needing 200 hours to set? Does that mean I shouldn't leave the computer on overnight for at least 200 hours? That might put a crimp in my downloading schedule ... but otherwise no big deal, I guess.
