Dual Core stock fan

MeatLoaf · 17 Apr 2006 at 09:52

What is the fan like that comes with the dual core retail cpus? Is it the heatpipe jobbie that comes with the FX chips?

Yes. Heatpipes and all. Fan's not as quiet as some aftemarket solutions but it does a good job - I've OC'd my 4400 to 2.6 on stock cooling, rock solid. That said, it's not that loud.

It uses 80mm fans so you can change the fan if you want like I did to use it on my old 3000+

does anyone have a picture of one?

Heatsink is made for AMD by Coolermaster & the fan that they fit is a Delta.

Madshrimps did a review of this heatsink & it's on par with a Thermalright XP90.

yeah its not bad at all

i had one on a +3000 chip that was overclocked to 2.4Ghz and the highest it got to was around 51C under full load (and i didnt have the rest of my case cooling in place then either).

Does the cpu manual say to run the fan off the mobo header?

All deltas shouldn't be

This isn't a high performance fan, it's on a par with any other 80mm (or is 92mm?) fan.

There 80mm fans

It's is fine to run off the motherboard fan header the fan is temp controlled & Just cos it's made by Delta don't mean it's 2000cfm @ 30 watts

The fan 80mm in size.

Im running the fan off the mobo header, no problems at all, cool and quiet too

keep my [email protected] (1.4v) at sub 40C underload

btw if your getting an FX then it will come with a heatpipe cooler, my 4200 didnt come with the heatpipe cooler! not sure what the 3800 or 4400 comes with one.

all x2's and fx's should come with the gen 2 heatpipe cooler, the fan has a thermostat on it, when this heats up it pushes considerably more air and is much louder, usual delta standards.
The sink is better than quite a lot of heatsinks out there too.

MeatLoaf · 18 Apr 2006 at 22:06

Well i got mine today and it was the old type cooler

Im guessing it was old stock as it was an 0550 cpu

i did say should, but it depends when your cpu was boxed up.
