Looks good, but did you have to fugly it up with that Thermaltake heatsink?

i actually really like this HSF. the adjustable knob that it came with it rocks. at the lowest setting my CPU is at 32C, even with the overclock. when i push the fan to 6000 RPM's its quite loud, but temps drop into the 20's. i love this thing

i highly doubt those are correct temps. its probably like low 40's high 30's load, and mid 30's idle...

those temps resemble watercooling..not a thermaltake air cooler

would you like to place money on that?

bios also reports the same

its not impossible....whats your ambient temp?

whats is your idle/load temp?
Is Cool n Quiet on?

cool n quiet is not on. the temps i displayed are my ambient temps with my CPY fan both maxed and min(29max RPM/32min RPM)

my load temps are around 34/35C max RPM's and about 37C with min RPM's on my CPU fan

yea what i was saying is...THE BIOS IS WRONG. bios temps arent accurate...ask any pc enthusiast who knows what hes doing...

theres no way thats possible because of the C\W rating of any aircooler. unless you have your computer outside in 50°F weather and youre using some crazy thermal paste...you wont hit 29°C.

so my bios is wrong, sandra is also wrong, and so is my epox temp sensor? all 3 are wrong, even though they all report the same temps?
What's your ambient temperature? If ONE of those readings is wrong then they're all wrong. Ever think that the Epox porgram and Sandra may read directly from that incorrect sensor?

So you're giving us your case temps and saying they're your CPU temps?

What is the temperature of the room that the computer is in?

So stick the thing on your desk and look at it, mice seem much smoother to me when they are used via USB

i cant tell a difference, so it doesnt matter to me which one i use.

How do you like the 9NDA3+? I've always been an EPoX fan but this board hasn't gotten a lot of press.

well i have only been using it for a day now, but so far i love it.

anandtech review

anandtech though it was a good board, but there is issues with it if you try to use 4 DIMMS, which is not a problem for me.

you clirified thoes temps yet? im just gonna say your not hitting mid 20s unless you live in a freezer

i have a 2400+m Oced to 2.5GHz the 45w version cooling it with a SLK900a and even with a 92mm tornado blowing at fullpower it wont go below 30C even with the AC on full room temp around 65F

right now im at 37C CPU / 42C Case tornado is on 7v so its quiet,

im just gonna wager they yours is something similar to that


looks like a sweet comp tho, and a Nice OC

well i never said mid 20's, but i have hit 29C idle with 6000 RPM on my HSF. but its usually in the low 30's with my usual HSF RPM setting
