Coolermaster CB5-5G12 copper heatsink

[Lawlen2]

I have purchased the coolermaster CB5-5G12 for use with my 800 duron, what I did not notice was the wimpy fan on it (~9cfm). Is anyone else using this heatsink if so how is it performing? Would putting another fan on it, say 20 cfm, greatly increase its cooling capacity? Finally where do i get a 50x50x10mm fan that puts out 20cfm?


thanx, Lawlen2

The highest cfm fan you will find with 50x50x10mm is about 11cfm from Delta.

scrap the 50x50x10... get out an old CD jewel case or some scrap plastic and make a funnelled mount for a 60mm fan... probably will up your performance quite a bit...

That would seem to be severe overkill.
What about a little thicker fan, 50x50x15 or 50x50x20?

I don't think that HSF you have is a very good one. But try it and see how it works. If you're not happy then get another designed for the big boys, like the GlobalWIN FOP32-1. See this AnandTech review from Nov., 2000.

P.S.
Most of your better coolers use 60 mm. fans.

And that anandtech review was both highly inaccurate and not a good comparison of "relative" heatsink temps.

I found a 50x50x20mm fan online that has a cfm rating of ~20. I plan to put this on the cb5-5g12 and see what effect it has on my cpu temp.

Anyone know what phase change thermal interface is used on the coolermaster cb5-g512 and at what temperture t he phase change occurs?
