anyone have a spare CPU cooler?

[tyle6]

hey, im looking for a CPU cooler for a socket 775 anything half decent is good with me im looking for a bargain here. you know give a good old CPU cooler a nice home in a build for my sis to take to uni.

I've got several from back when I was reviewing, but it's not worth the shipping all the way up to Canada with all the extra fees and such.

I have the intel box cooler if you want it

[werty316]

You could always try ebay.

[tyle6]

ebay may be the best bet. i have a box cooler on it right now its just i would rather have something a lil better for peace of mind. it having all her work on it and most likely stuffed in some desk with absolulty no airflow and will probably never be turned off, never givin the proper treatment of dust removal lol. If you had a good quality cooler and were willing to part fairly cheap shipping and all could be worth it... what do you have laying around if you dont mind me asking?

I've got a VapoChill Micro Ultra Low Noise with the optional Extreme Preformance upgrade included along with the optional LG775 mount bracket. I think it's about the best I have, they were used for about a week at the most.

I haven't a clue as to how well it will perform on a C2D though.

If you want a very good cooler for very cheap.
I've seen reviews placing it above the all mighty Zalman CNPS 9500.
Try the Gigabyte G-Power Pro.
Its cheap and effective.

I have a ginormous Coolermaster cooler but A) Its REALLY loud, and B) Is heavy so prolly NOT cheap to send to Canada.

[tyle6]

cost20 dollars to send 2 pounds to colorado standard the other day... whats the model ##?
I think im just going to get a nice zalman 9700 or the noctua 92 cm setup and give theold AVC i have to my sis.

[Schwarz]

like I said if you want to get a very very good performing cooler for cheap check a few reviews on the Gigabyte G-Power Pro

[PP Mguire]

Yea nvm, i just noticed that my idiot of an ex gf lost the back panel that goes to the cooler. (Plate that goes on the other side of mobo to mount heatsink).

[tyle6]

ive taken a look at it myself but will she hold up againt a 9700? or the noctua?

[Schwarz]

Well like I said i've seen not many reviews about it but in the ones i've seen in cooler roundups i've seen it beat a Zalman CNPS 9500.

Bearing in mind the 71.9 dBA noise level from the Gigabyte G-Power Pro with its fan operating at full speed (3200RPM), the heatsink performs extremely well. The FrostyTech Synthetic Temperature test platform applies a 125W heat load that has pushed many a heatsink past acceptable levels. The Gigabyte G-Power Pro heatsink on the other hand has generated the lowest result to date in the K8 category; a rise above ambient temperature of just 18.6°C.

While the sight of a high performance heatsink that weighs only 430 grams is certainly something to be impressed with, it is unreasonable to expect users will accept noise levels that substantial. A more realistic operating mode for the Gigabyte G-Power Pro heatsink is with its fan speed dialed down to 1700RPM. In that circumstance the heatsink still performs remarkably well, and in our tests generated a rise above ambient temperature of 23.5°C. That thermal result is still very good, and a lot quieter than any of the adjacent heatsinks in that range. The nearest, next highest-performing heatsink with a similar noise signature being the Scythe Shogun.



One of the many reviews of it.
and like I said its really cheap for the performance it will give you.

Back in the days when I wanted to push my PD805 to the highest I could (if i remember well it was 3.7 or 3.8GHz i don't remember quite well) with a Zalman CNPS 9500 i've seen many people get results like mine with that G power pro.


At its full fan speed, it's just too loud even though thermal performance is among the best we have seen from any AMD Athlon64 heatsink. With a lower fan speed it offers a very compelling mix of excellent thermal performance and good noise levels.

well then for 46 bucks over at ncix they have one thats claiming to have some copper in it somewhere lol for that price i think i might just give it a try. I like the up down-fan orientation keeping with intel thermal design.
on another note, off topic. has anyone got EPP working on a 650i board? placing order tonight for newboard at that fact alone is pushing me for 680i chipset most likely will never use it but want to be have the option lol.

[Schwarz]

EPP is useless.
Set your timings and your settings yourself.
EPP will not do anything except setting a few safe settings for you.

[tyle6]

LOL i know like i said i just want it to work lol same as you wanting to set mcp spp i hate seing the option in the bios and knoing i cant touch it even if i wanted to just **** up my bios for a wee bit lol

[Schwarz]

Yah I guess you are right lol ...
