Best ever CPU Cooler?

setter · 16 Apr 2009 at 22:33

Cheers, had heard about the v8 and the v10, looks like a decent cooler, currently using a lapped TRUE black on my q6600, keeps the temps at 68-68-62-62, prime load @3.8ghz, normally run the system at 3.6ghz, prime load temps of 60-60-55-55, cooled by 2 x 200 rpm fans.

Akasa Silver Mountain 2Q with a 60mm Delta bolted on.

Hardcore.

Love the transformers-ish look

EDIT: Fan orientation was fixed for the final build

Tuniq Tower for me With my e8400 clocked at 4gig the tuniq keeps it at 60 degrees with 100% load. I'm thinking thats a pretty good temp for that clock on air
And I think it looks pretty kool to boot

Killari isnt that fan on the wrong way?

Quite liking my Noctua, its cooling my e8500 at ~4.3gz running prime at the moment and temps around 60

Nice clock and nice temps dude :cool:

XD Phew!

P.s. looks like a very tidy setup you got there widdyst, but those 260's must be a bugger to cool!

They werent too bad mate really I stuck a big fan on the side panel as below to cool them so temps never really got over 65-70. But I have since dropped back to just using 2 260's as I found the third to be of no benefit at my resolution in fact on occasions it was actually hindering performance and causing more lag and stutter. Now I have the 2 in sli I am well happy with performance can run crysis etc maxed out with no stutter

220 mm side fan

ps Hope the 9.5 multi works for you mate

That's one hell of a fan there!

JonJ678 · 17 Apr 2009 at 14:05

TRUE, lapped

Pneumonic · 17 Apr 2009 at 15:21

For TRUE extreme air performance (pun intended, if poor!)

and...

Am starting to get sentimental now... although the water set-up is quieter

how much u pay for that i've seen it for £100+ :eek:

siumatfung · 17 Apr 2009 at 15:29

should i put my pull fan in guys?

Pneumonic · 17 Apr 2009 at 15:36

from my experience push was always slightly better although you could run two fans in push-pull at lower RPM (quitter) and get better performance

siumatfung · 17 Apr 2009 at 15:39

if thats the case i might change my rear exhaust fan so all 3 fans run in sycn from one another

mpj88 · 17 Apr 2009 at 15:51

why not just point it up? then the big fan at the top will act a little like a pull! thats the way i have stuff arraged in my case. I had a push-pull arrangement but have taken the pull fan off as made hardly any difference
