Fcking a, I'm looking for one last night, then while I'm at work today the auction for $15 ends before I get home. GD....


edit: Wait looks like a new auction is open with 'em for $15 still. Now first its bad enough my bank/Paypal account is low on $$ and the checks I wrote haven't been cashed for 3 fvcking weeks by some retards, so with them accounted for I have $14 left in that account. The total would be $15. GAH nothing fvcking works out.

Alright I got in on one from heatsink_outlet. He is selling them for $15 total as well and had tons left. I didn't realize I could paypal instantly with my new debit card either, I thought that new account would need to get verified or some crap, but it went through with the debit, so I should get the heatpiper sometime next week.


Right now my Opty is clocked to 2.6ghz @ 1.525 V, idles at 30°, load is up to 50°. For a higher overclock that is stable, I seem to need 1.55 V, where it gets as high as 56° under load, so I figure this regular stock cooler just won't cut it. I'll see how the dual core stock cooler works, then decide if I need that Silverstone 92mm fan. I'd like to get to or very near 3ghz stable at 1.55 V. Might be dreaming here though. :)

I got my 4 heatsinks on Wendesday night. One of my friends and I put the new heatsinks in.

Prev Load Temp w/ Stock Alumminum HSF: 57 C
Current Load Temp: 51 C @ 2500 rpm

If use the power supply straight from the PSU instead of using the motherboard fan connector, load temps are: 47 C
Its not very loud, but you can hear it at 4500 rpm.

Of course, my Arctic Silver still hasn't settled yet, being that I just placed the new heatsink in Thursday afternoon, so temps might drop some more.

Also, another interesting fact is that the fan has it built-in thermistor (you can see it near the motor wires). If you give it unregulated 12V from the PSU, it will go from 2700 rpm to 4500rpm depending on the case temperature. I'm trying to figure out how to slow it down slightly because the motherboard connector limits its rpm range from 1800 rpm to 2700 rpm, which is too slow for me (since this range is so slow that you can never hear it anyways).

Edit: Former idle temps: 43 C
Current idle temps @ 2700 rpm: 34 C

This heatpipe sink is adefinitely good, my buddy has it on his 4400+ and there is no need for aftermarket. I have a 165 and soon will test how this compares to the Arctic 64 Freezer I have , I like the freezer alot as it is silent pretty much
