    Thermaltake CL-C0034 and a P5B-E

    so as title stated, how would i go about installing this NB cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16835116018 on a p5b-e, would i have to use adhesive-type thermal compound to install? or is there a special mounting kit i can get?

    Has anyone used this fan: SilenX IXP-76-18

    i have the silenx fan cooling my cpu, and ya it does push quite a bit of air, whether its really 90cfm or not, i dont know, but it feels like it's pushing some good air, and it's sure quite.

    Ultra-120 Extreme just got dropped off - major problem?

    mmm, im too lazy to find the optimal voltage to test 3.0 right now haha, but i can imagine temps drop roughly 2 degrees or so, as i will lower vcore to ?probably? 1.52v or 1.53v, not sure. but ya the chip i have doesn't like to post or run properly with low voltages when OC'd. i notice the e6xxx...

    Ultra-120 Extreme just got dropped off - major problem?

    well, room temperature has risen quite a bit since local area tempurature has gone up 10~15 degrees F at night compared to 2 weeks ago, during the day it's about 20 degrees F hotter compared to 2 weeks ago. all temps are taken with current setup which is e4300 @ 3.4 with 1.55v, yes i know...

    Ultra-120 Extreme just got dropped off - major problem?

    oooh, nice temps after lapping cpu too!!, and what a difference it made after the second time! now u make me wonder if i did mine all the way yet.... im tempted to remove it and relap it, but i think im just being too anal perfect about it right now....

    lapping my Ultra-120 Extreme (pics and temp data)

    hm... that's some interesting results, but ya doesn't look like you've taken off excessive material, perhaps your cpu is concaved, and your heatsink WAS convexed, and now that it's flat, it's not contacting the center of the cpu properly (so in other word, it's gone from bad contact to worse...

    Any fitment issue with the ultra120 and hr-05?

    i currently have the ultra120 installed and it seems like my NB burns without a stock cpu cooler to move air around the factory NB HS. so my question is if anyone knows of any fitment issue of have experience with a p5b-e fitted with a ultra-120 AND a hr-05. because from just looking at...

    anyone lapped a 120-ultra or 120-ultra extreme?

    ya those silenx are pretty darn quiet! and yes they have the silvery metal look to it. not sure if it's the new? or old ones? i just got them a bit over a month ago

    anyone lapped a 120-ultra or 120-ultra extreme?

    OH =X sorry i have a e4300 c2d, i failed to catch that u have a q6600, hahaha, but ya in which case im not familiar of how that chip looks, i haven't seen one in person. but it has pins? i thought all LGAs are pinless? as in all the pins are all on the mobo's socket instead. mm... but then...

    anyone lapped a 120-ultra or 120-ultra extreme?

    i did the cpu by dry sanding, from 200grit > 400grit > 600grit. i just held the cpu with my hands with nothing else on it, since there is no pins on the LGA cpus, u dont have to worry about bending any. but ya i just went back and forth 20~30 times then rotate 90 degrees. i did put about a...

    Where did Alpha coolers go?

    o man... does this remind me of my PAL8045 and my OC'd Tbird back in the days... they were good stuff. but ya they still make heatsinks like the pre9060 for LGA, it's basically same design as the 8045 with a different mount, but alpha is not close to what they once were in terms of cooling...

    anyone lapped a 120-ultra or 120-ultra extreme?

    i have also lapped my u120 not too long ago, i used upto 600grit, and like JAG87 said, the u120 comes quite concaved. i just did it up and down then rotate 90 degrees after 20~30 strokes or so and repeat until i get it to bare copper, this might take a while for the center depending on how...

    Ultra-120 Extreme just got dropped off - major problem?

    those machine marks are "normal" as they just seem to come out of the box like that, my u120 came that way, but that scratch there isn't normal haha. but ya just lap it and get it to the copper, it felt a lot smoother when it was done. i did mine with upto 600grit paper. but ya like the link...

    Buildng a new rig - fellow anandtechers...need your help

    C2D would be a good choice right now, best bang for the buck with their OC abilities. 2k is a good amount of money for mid-high machines. wait a few more weeks for the C2D's to drop and also nvidia price drop, 2gb of ddr2-800 or even ddr2-1000 if you want to overclock at those speeds...

    X2 5600+ vs Core 2 DUO E6600

    ya, im not a intel c2d fanboy either, i actually have been an AMD fan for a long time until prescotts, and recently i have upgraded again. i looked into the X2's, seems to be great value, and at stock speeds its ALMOST as fast as their intel counter parts. i ended up buying a c2d e4300. but...

    E4300 Overclocks?

    it looks like a bunch of us got a batch of e4300's that run really hot, mine runs pretty hot too, even before i ran 1.55v, @ 1.4v my temps would be from 45 idle to 65+ load. and this is with an ultra120. maybe u can try lapping the cpu IHS and the heatsink.

    E4300 Overclocks?

    ok quick update after some more flidding. dropped mult and fsb:ram ratio to 1:1 3240mhz with 8x 404 1.55v not sure how stable this is, but temps seems to be running the same as 367fsb @ 1.46v. will run some prime and superpi for results, stay tuned update: ok this thing is...

    E4300 Overclocks?

    OC update, after fiddling around more: 3303mhz with 9x 367 1.46v temps: 46c to 68c (this thing is burning!!) specs are in sig below wow, very impressive e4300 oc, 1.55v huh? how safe would you say that is on air cooling? i would like to try that with lowered multi and 1:1 fsb/mem ratio.

    PCI-E Frequency OC Testing | DS3 Rev3.3

    so i tested it some more with my setup, i was able to boot into windows stable @ 3.3 with 115pci-e. however, like i mentioned before, anything above 108 pci-e would case my network controller to not function, can anyone shed some light on that? im just guessing the pci-e trick is board...

    e4300 temps @ 3.1

    airflow in my case should be decent if not good. 60+cfm 120mm exhaust fan, +PSU's exhaust, + vid card's exhaust. 2 30+cfm intake in front of harddrives, 20+cfm intake on side, and a 20+cfm intake from top. 90+cfm 120mm mounted to the ultra 120, blowing towards my exhaust fan. just lapped...

    PCI-E Frequency OC Testing | DS3 Rev3.3

    scratch that, stupid me, all i need was to scroll down more..... however i have found on my computer that anything above 106 will cause my LAN controller to not function properly 110 caused bluescreen 115 caused bluescreen but that's for my set up, very interesting tho.

    e4300 temps @ 3.1

    oh and one more question, are the c2d's heatspreader also copper base and nickel top? i dont wanna end up lapping all that nickel just to find out there was no copper underneath that haha

    e4300 temps @ 3.1

    thx for all the input guys! yes im using thermal paste xD i believe im not using too much and yep the fan is running properly, i switched to a new powersupply and fan ran faster fine after that, dropped about 5 degrees but that's STILL hot. and yep the temps are read from coretemp i...

    e4300 temps @ 3.1

    ya i just reseated the heatsink yet again! and ya the temps are in C, im very lost as to what is causing this. another weird thing was, before i got the e4300, my prescott 3.6 would read about 10~15 degrees higher than my old board (abit ag8) with the same clock settings, voltage and HSF. at...

    e4300 temps @ 3.1

    so im using both asus AIsuit and core temp to read the temps, both read around 48~50 idle and 80+ on load, that REALLY doesn't seem right. i have a thermalright ultra 120 with a 90cfm fan. i have reseated the cpu and heatsink once already. what gives? bad sensors? or am i really running that hot

    Temps gone weird

    so i swapped from a abit ag8 to a asus p5b-e, same cpu (prescott 2.8 @ 3.6) on the ag8 it used to read the cpu at around 33~42 (idle~load) now on the p5b-e, it reads 49~55+ what's going on?!?! im sure my heatsink has been installed properly (ultra 120 w/fan on both set ups) i dont...

    eVGA Step-Up

    thank you, i feel a bit more at ease now, but could you point to me where they list the categories for the 5$ per? so i am prepared to pay the difference ahead of time. and i just registered my card, and requested the step-up, but then i read the "original packaging and items needed" part after.
