    Anandtech Enzotech Ultra-X Review

    Well AGAIN...Anad's and my reviews vary...the Enzo is much better than the TR 120 Extreme....oh well. I'm going to lap the 120 Ext and see what happens.

    The outside fan will do nothing to cool the processor.

    My ENZOTECH ULTRA X performance so far

    If you have room and can reach then you can screw them in, but there are a couple that I could only screw down form the side, with my fingers between the heatpipes....

    Finally got the Enzotech Ultra-X

    You can put the Enzotech in any of the 4 ways which will fit. I looked at your case, and if you flip it over it looks just like any other case, so I don't understand why it won't fit?

    Some help needed with my OC please

    I swapped out the TR for the enzotech....I am not sure how to get 1-1 ratio with the Ram. Right now I lowered my Overclock to 3487, 1550X9. I don't need to push it although I had no major problems at 3.6... I have the cpu at 1.325...I lowered it from 1.35 when I lowered the FSB by 50 from...

    My ENZOTECH ULTRA X performance so far

    I in no way shape or form could install it with the mobo half out of the case. I got the backplate in fine but could not screw the screws down at all. I took the plastic off the TR glue pad and it was fused to the mobo, so i need another for the spacing/cushion.

    My ENZOTECH ULTRA X performance so far

    I did ..the one I have is the RMA. At this point I'll try lapping...$50 experiment. If I do a good job, it may cool better than the Enzo, if not I'll be ready to lap the 6600! lol The RMA'e Xtreme did cool much better than the first one, but not near to the review. But, I think I wrote in...

    My ENZOTECH ULTRA X performance so far

    Got rid of my QX6700...they need H2O and I really don't have time now...when the next CPU's come out! ANYWAYS....Using an E6600. Installed my RMA board last night and put the Enzo on it...out of the case an absolute must. My room is 71-72F, but my computer is under my desk near the AC vent...

    Some help needed with my OC please

    Well I just got it up to 3600. CPU at 1.35, cpuz says1.304(I guess you add .03 to that so 1.334)... 45 minutes of ORTHOS doing small stress the cpu stuff..FFT's? lol No problems there. My idle, doing this, is at 37-39 ish. The high for Orthos was 59, but ran more at 57-58. My startup temps...

    Some help needed with my OC please

    I raised the cpu volts a bit to 1.3125. And the FSB is 1550. I'm now at 3492. I ran Orthos for an it was no higher than 54 on both cores. I tried 8X to see if I could get the FSB higher and how that worked. Don't ubderstand the safe mode thing...

    Should have quit messin...now the Computer

    The TIM was perfect, the mount was as well. Unfortuately the high spot prevented it from hitting. It's not the processor. The stock sink and the cpu had a nice thin even coat when I removed it.... <<<<Just don't overheat anything when doing this!>>>>> The Ultra Ex is taking care of this...

    Q6600 Overclock Question

    Don't be surprised if your cooler isn't up to stuff...I have had lots of heat issues with my QX6700...they are flat out hot. I just put my 6600 in because I removed my TR120Extreme which wasn't very cool..and am running the 6600 with the stock fan. The 6600 runs 15 to 20C ccoler than the 6700...

    COuldn't leave things alone...Decided to try the Enzotech on this mobo, since I won't have the RMA till midweek....big mistake. The TR Ultra Extreme is NOT flat. the AS5 had a Dime-sized bare metal spot of to one side. I think it needs to be lapped. SO I try to remove the backplate! Fused...

    The affect of FANS on the 120 Ultra Extreme

    I got the fans at Sidewinder Computers..they have a pretty good selection. I posted alot about my problems with the 120Extreme. These temps are very good. I have not lapped anything yet. But these temps are great compared to my First 120 Extreme... TAT watches and temps all 4 cores but...

    The affect of FANS on the 120 Ultra Extreme

    The temps are from Core-temp, the temps of all 4 cores. They are pretty much constant. Idle for the last 3 hourse has been 38-40-39-34 +/- 1C. I am not listing ALL the temps, those ARE the averages for the time period....of all 4 cores...The temps I got for load are the highest temps recorded...

    The affect of FANS on the 120 Ultra Extreme

    I decided to damn the noise. I got a Delta that goes 150+CFm and a 120+CFM. I put the 120 on the TR Extreme and the 150 right behind it as the outflow. SO far in the first hour my idle temps have been 37-39-38-33, which is 5+LESS than with either the 64 cfm Sflex or the 72cfm Scythe. 20...

    Quad core overclocking?

    I haven't pushed it yet, as I'm still playing with the cooling, but I can't go higher than 3.3 right now. I haven't pushed the voltage up higher than 1.34 yet though. I tried 3.49?ish..got BSOD's.

    Looking for help finding the best nontower cooler

    What are allowable temps for a QX6700?

    Nowhere have I seen just what is considered OK operating temps for the Quad cores, mine in particular the QX6700. Yes, cooler is better, but what works? From what I have read 40C is considered very good operating temp for it. Very Good like it's well chilled, which means higher is more the...

    I'm curious if your unit has the washer. I got my original from Newegg..that's on it's way back. I bought the 2nd from CrazyPC(washerless) . When I tell you the fit is night and day I am not kidding. The first could be rotated with ZERP resistance as far in any direction that I wanted. This...

    Anyone know if eVGA 680i NF68 A1 can handle

    Can the fan headers handle 1.5 amps, per header also, at least 12-15 watts for each fan? I want to try a Delta 150cfm on the Extreme 120 TR..I can always use the molex, but wasn't sure if the fan header could handle this. Thanks anyone!

    Nice full tower case suggestions?

    I like the one right behind the cooler to help suck the air thorugh it. The front one doesn't sound too necessary..could always stick one there and dial it down way low....just in case of fire! lol
