Best heatsink again

[priyajeet]

I have a P4 3.2 on a MSI Neo2 Fis2R and i need a better cooling sys on the CPU.

1st of all - is it easy to take off the default heatsink ? or is it stuck thoroughly ?

I read u guys mentioned thermalright sp-94 or slk-948...will this work on my mother board...

also i read abt this coolermaster hyper 6...any ideas how this compares to the above (inspite of being hevier) . will it work on my board ? will the board be able to handle the weight ?

thanks

1.) Very easy to take off stock HSF. That thermal pad isnt sticky at all

2.) I would suggest a Zalman CNPS7000-Cu. It is cheaper, quieter, and easiest to install. Besides that it looks great and Zalman really does a good job constructing the thing......the base is lapped to mirror like quality.

If you want the best heatsink, get the SP-94, there currently is no better one. Choose a fan according to how much noise you are willing to bear.

As a proud SP94 user, I originally had a Vantec 92mm 119cfm fan, but that was too loud and I couldn't adjust it; so now I use a ThermalTake Smart 92mm Fan which can be adjusted to as low as 17dB, but at the highest setting (48dB) can push out 80cfm.

SP-94 plus decent fan = $60

Zalman CNPS7000-Cu = $30

Like I said, Zalmans are quieter, cheaper, look better, and in every HSF study shows that the Zalman hangs right in there with the SP-94, with only a 1C difference on average.

I just ordered a Zalman for $34 shipped for my new 3.0c on an IC7-max3 myslef.

I got my 7000A-Alcu for $26 (that included tax) at Computech like 6 months ago.

Here $26 AlCu version, $29 A-Alcu, $29 Cu, $39 A-Cu - shipping shouldn't be more than $5.

So for him with a p4 getting the $26 Alcu version is a no brainer.

can the MSI neo2 control the fan speed ?
they give a software along called core center that shows speed /temp etc.

if this is true then vantec wont be a prob.

Using Speedfan you can control fan on just about any motherboard. But you can only a fan to a certain degree, because it will need a certain voltage to run (usually about 5V) and therefore a fan will have a "minimum rpm".
