oblivescence Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 so the fan is dying on my old dell, and I need either a 92mm fan with a fan controller to replace it with, or a new hsf and also an exhaust fan. I also need to pick up some thermal grease, and I want to pick up a thermal probe so I know what temps its running at. So I need suggestions. $50 or less total would be great, also, I'm thinking about picking up both mx-2 (where can I find this stuff?) and as5 to do a comparison if I have enough money left over and I will let you all know what I find out. edit: P4 2.4Ghz (socket 478 i believe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeble Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I'm interested in seeing the comparison between thermal pastes, but I have to ask... why in the world would you waste $50 cooling a Dell?! Just get a cheap fan and replace it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 The best 478 cooler for you would probably be the XP-90 (I have one) or the Scythe Ninja (if it fits!). The latter is enormous and has the relevant mounting kit (unlike many newer HSF) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivescence Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I'm interested in seeing the comparison between thermal pastes, but I have to ask... why in the world would you waste $50 cooling a Dell?! Just get a cheap fan and replace it. that is a good point, $50 is allot, I was factoring in getting a thermal probe and a fan controller to test the thermal pastes. But i Just realized that I could test the thermal pastes on my xbox and that would let me know which is better. I'm looking through newegg now for a good fan. Hopefully, by waiting till tommorow to order, I will grow sane enough to not buy a tornado for this dell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
