truscotsman Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 i am looking into building a new pc within the next month or so. i currently have a thermalright XP-90C with a vantec tornado 92mm fan attached. i know i would need to buy the 775 retention module for this Heatsink I was looking to invest in an intel core2 quad6600 also like the x38 board from asus, maximus formula in either guise. also already have a crossfire setup atm so would take my 2 x1900s. my other thoughts in CPU coolers are. the thermalright HR-01 plus with the fan ducting. possibly with a 2nd fan istalled in a push pull comfiguration. open to try other maunfacturers aswell i have no interest in watercooling at the moment. any help on choices would be greatful recieved. :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guticb Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I've got a Zalman CNPS9700NT at the moment, and I'm loving it. It's keeping my overclocked Q6600 (3.2GHz) at 30 idle, 40 load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr._blue_sky Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 does thermalright make any heatsinks that don't need to be lapped? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchuwato Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 does thermalright make any heatsinks that don't need to be lapped? I havn't lapped mine (yet) and it's fine... lapping isn't really all that hard to do anyway - maybe set aside 1-2 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2t Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 does thermalright make any heatsinks that don't need to be lapped? Thermalright heatsinks don't "need" to be lapped. As far as I can tell you only gain about 1-2 degrees difference by lapping so it is not needed by far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Thermalright Ultra-210 Extreme Go for the Thermalright IFX-14 The IFX is neat in theory, but in testing it usually didn't beat the Ultra-120 Extreme. It's all form, no function Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Uhh, I'd love one of those Ultra 210 Extreme's there suchuwato, got a spare one? I have a 120 Extreme myself, it's a great cooler, I'd definitely get that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
