I must admit though, the ninja was a swine to get on.

barney u play uo ?

Did a few years ago briefly but play WoW now

i found the SN fairly easy to fit on my board, the fan can be a pain but i found it easier to put the wire in the slot first then pull the pin bits into the fan holes, like i said though watch your figures

oh look you also have to pay £8 delivery on the freezer 64 Pro which makes it £28 not £15

I had to original arctic freezer 64 then upgraded to the scythe ninjar well tbh its kinda a little waste of time and money.

Maybe dropped like 4C at max and the fan that came on the freezer was actualy quieter than a 120mm amber.

Maybe it will increase performance as the AS5 settles in again but atm it seem a lot of money to spend for 4C drop in temps plus it weighs a bit and stops me using my first DIMM slot

Ill look into a new fan, ambers dont push that much air in the end do they.

scythe ninja is the best air cooling solution your gonna come accross.

The Tuniq Tower 120 is better. Rare in the UK, but I've one coming £33.

Hmm, i just fitted a ninja tonight

Room @ 24oc

Full load Temp 48oc, got to 50 once,

Do these seem bad temps to anyone ?

I think they are pretty good considering room temp and my cpu having 1.6 Volts through it

Hmmm, same CPU and similar overclock, case temp at 21, idle at 32, full load at 40.

u must have a bad stepping 3700 to be shoving that many volts through it to achive that overclock, nice system specs though

superpc · 16 Apr 2006 at 22:20

Well, the best heatsink / fan i have tried and have is the Thermalright SI-120 with a Nexus 120mm fan. Keeps everything cool and quiet! The fan has a very low CFM but is more than good enough to keep the CPU around 34 idle. I don't have any case fans either!! CPU overclocked to 2.5 (AMD)

nick_lerwill · 17 Apr 2006 at 00:04

u got it o/ced? *** cpu u hav

kab2e, can't push it any further than that without hitting problems. Luck of the draw I suppose, but 2.75ghz from a 2.2ghz chip aint all bad.

TaKeN · 17 Apr 2006 at 00:32

I think 2794 or 2806 mhz is great for 1.6 volts to be honest lol.

Doing it on stock volts is just lucky

I still use my DIMM slot fine. My fan is Panaflo 120mm I just sat it on top of the memory
