Scythe Ninja Plus (AMAZING)

If anyone is thinking about getting one of these, then I would highly recommend you do.

I installed it lastnight with some AS5. Didn't really get chance to use it until now.

Let me just say that my PC has been on windows for the past hour and my 120mm fan hasn't started spinning yet. I have been running speedfan and it's currently sat at 22c :eek:

I would expect my temps to drop a little after the AS5 has bedded in a bit.

My CPU is an AMD X2 4400+ at stock

I have just upgraded from an Arctic Cooler 64 Pro (impulse buy really)

Does anyone know why you are unable to change the fan4+5 settings on the DFI Crossfire?

Cheers!

Damn! It's at 24 now lol

better check the bios

Yep bios looks to be right. My fans kick in at 25> and its not started yet so I guess it must be right.

Here's a photo if u don't believe the fans not moving

Still after two hours that's not bad going

You lot just don't pump enough voltage through your CPU's . Anyway how are you load temps glen.

Haven't had chance to run anything intensive yet. I've been busy making a new nlite cd

If the motherboard sensors are incorrect then that's very dangerous. The default bios settings power the cpu fan when the temp hits 25.

If the sensor is wrong and my cpu is far hotter with the fan off this causes serious concerns surely?

on the DFI I had to use the metal backing plate and the retention module. The screws lined up ok with the DFI backing plate but the screws were then too long and made the board wobble when in the case.

i think it's best to use what comes with the ninja. Very easy job tho.

Getting the fan clips onto the heatsink is a bit tricky
