From what I have gathered from people the fan on the artic 7 doesnt blow, it sucks, so the fan would go to the opposite direction allowing the air to go through it and out the back.
 
don't want to hijack the thread but seeign its the same question ....

i need cooler for my 965be quad core .. i was running it @ 3.8 ghz but it got abit funny after a month or so .. heated teh room up nicley tho lol ....

i was eyeign up the

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo Tower Cooler for CPU

but suggestions are nice
 
Did a quick wee check today and decided before I started disconnecting things (was going to check if there was a problem with the fan), I would turn it around so the fan was facing the exhaust fan. Here are the results:

Prime 95 Test ( 5minutes) - http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag121/Navas07/STR-1.png

1 Minute after - http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag121/Navas07/MinLater.png

I am really confused, I always thought it shouldn't be facing the exhaust fan?? I also disabled the q-fan control in my bios though so maybe that has something to do with it? Maybe I would get even better results if I did have it facing the other way?

For contrast, last night, while it was facing the other way (away from exhaust fan, and q fan not disabled) Each core reached 84oC within 2minutes of the primre 95 test.

You can buy thermal paste only if you feel it necessary and depending on the cooler you buy. Some coolers will come with good quality thermal paste while others will be poor quality.

One thing to mention is to make sure you clean the CPU properly when installing a new cooler. You can use lots of cleaning fluids but anything that is alcohol based works well (including nail varnish remover). You can also use one of the cleaning kits/fluids available such as the Arctic Silver kit (which I use. Does a good job) or Akasa cleaner.

A fan that I'd recommend due to it's size and the fact that it's on clearance (CHEAP) is this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x **B Grade** Thermalright HR-02 Macho CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775/LGA1156/LGA1155/LGA1366) £21
Total : £21.00 (includes shipping : FREE).



Should do a good job. Although I would drop OcUK a message asking them what parts are missing as you don't want one turning up without the 1155 mounting brackets. B grade products can sometimes have parts missing which is why you should ask beforehand.

Nail varnish remover contains oils and girly gunk.... Not recommended. Go to Maplins and get a small amount of electronics cleaner, that'll do the trick a LOT better.

I just installed an Enermax ETD-T60-TB on my AMD 965 BE.

Getting between 24-27c depending on ambient temps at idle, stock clock.

Really good low profile cooler although the heatpipes may block off "high profile" RAM on one slot. Normal ram is fine.

Easy to install too and you can use it on Intel and AMD cpu's and comes with a good thermal paste.
 
:)I Installed a Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 CPU Cooler on to a 965BE which has been O/C to 3.8 a few months ago. It is extremely quiet( much quieter than stock cooler)and when testing it today with Prime95 it only reached 54 degrees after 45 minutes
