CPU heatsink?

MadMacs · 31 Mar 2007 at 19:20

Hey, I'm looking for a CPU heatsink thats quite more then anything else.
It's for socket 939. I'm not really too interested in overclocking just as long as the temps are reasonable.
Also I don't really wan't one of those big ones. As the noctua I bought didn't fit.

Thanks

to be quite honest when i first got my 4400 the retail hsf kept the temps low and was reasonably quiet, i replaced the TIM that was on it but that was about it.

ofc that was before i sorted my w/c

Sorry to be dim but whats the TIM? My temps are around 40 idle.

TIM, it's the gunk that goes between the heatsink and the cpu

think it stands for Thermal Induction Material

what are your temps underload?

TBH I have not found a program that works with vista that can tell me that!

I've had great results with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. It's smaller than the Noctua. What case do you have?

Coolermaster wavemaster.

Close, maybe, but your credibility took a huge knock with me.

Bit harsh!

No. He has to learn to get his TLA's correct. If we're not firm with him now, he could turn out to be a hoodie or a beatnik or a Mac user, goodness forbid!

Nooo, please anything but a mac user :eek:

Mines very quiet :S Though I have it at 7v on a fan controller, still cool though 29c.

Mine only cooled to 36c and was louder then the stock fan :mad:
