How much AS 5 on E6600?

One question though.. should I plug them in to cha fan or pwr fan?

Im a bit worried cos I turned on my machine and it said overclock failed or voltage fail or something to that effect?
 
2x 40mm akasa cool Blue chipset cooler / 3 hi-bright blue LED. Here you are...

Don't worry about it, does it when you change something. Put them on the PWR, two back to back in the middle of the board, as I think you have done already. Are those load temps or idle?
 
Oh sorry mate those are idle temps.. but now load case does not go above 40c and cpu seems fine.

This is full load...

One thing i have noticed is my CPU fan is only doing 1016 rpm and its Rated Fan Speed: 2500 RPM.

Whats happening there then??

Its - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775) (HS-017-AR)
The low speed 92 mm fan reduces the noise level to a minimum.The patented fan holder is able to practically eliminate the typical buzzing sound of 80mm fans.The Heat Pipes with expanded diameter are able to transfer heat up to 200 Watt. The heat exchanger is built of 40 fins and consists of a surface area of over 5000 cm2 and allows for resistance free energy transfer to air.

- Heat Sink: 92 x 72 x 120 mm
- Fan: 77 x 77 x 42 mm
- Overall Dimensions: 92 x 114 x 120 mm
- Rated Fan Speed: 2500 RPM
- Power Consumption: 0.16 Amp.
- Air Flow: 36 CFM / 65 m3/h
- Weight: 516 g
- Noise Level: 1.2 Sone
- Thermal Resistance: 0.19°C/Watt
 
You sure you did not connect the CPUFAN to CHAFAN1 pins on the mobo?

I had my opty like this for months, wondering why the CPU fan speed was so low. Found out it was connected to CHAFAN1 on the mobo! LOL! :)
Temps where still alright.
 
Nah Im sure its connected to the right header. must be something in the bios, Im gonna check it out. :)
 
Crazy, sensor reads 26C idle and 50C load and that program reads 42C idle and 62C load... :eek:

How exactly does that work then ? also what are safe temps?

@ Jimbo - there was another thread on the forum about the heatsinks on the P5W DH not having a very good seating and causing the overall board temps to rise. Have a look and see if it relates to your problem - here.

There's also a very useful guide (follow the link) on how to remove, clean, reapply AS5 and refit the board heatsinks for better contact and heat reduction. Hope it helps.

Hello mate and thanks for your help. I have already done this mod, having removed both the north and southbridge heatsinks and applyed AS 5. That made no real difference to my temps so I added the 2 40mm fans as has Fornowagian. This has made a big difference in motherbaord temps cutting a good 10c off. Its worth doing if like me you had heat probs inside the case.

its enough unless the base of your heatsink looks like the surface of the moon.

LOL :)

You sure thats enough that amount wont cover the whole chip.

I can definitely understand your apprehension, but this amount works and works extremely well, try it you will not be disappointed, by the way I wouldn't try to spread the As5, I just put the the heatsink down on it give a firm press and then turn the whole heatsink left then right and back to starting point, pop the clips into place job done :)

Yeah, me too. I used more than that on the core of my XP2500M :eek:

I have had to clean some real sticky messes in the past, but now I can make that As5 last, and I treat it like its Gold Dust :)
