OC 1600+ with AX7 and Panaflo?

[Ray78]

I'm looking for a quiet overclocking solution for my soon to be bought XP 1600+. Right now I'm leaning towards a Thermalright AX7 with a Panaflo L1A fan. Will this be enough cooling or do I need to head in a different direction? tia.

It depends, do you have decent cooling at the case? if yes, that should be no problem.

Yea, I plan on adding an extra exhaust above my power supply and replacing my intake fan. This plus doing some cable management should solve any airflow problems that might exist.

Thats a great choice for quiet cooling,you can OC with that setup but it's going to get hot.I've run a L1A on my SK6 & my AX7 & it makes a great combo,if you plan on pushing that XP 1600 to the max you should look at a variable speed fan like the YS Tech to get a good cooling/noise setup.

I'm running an AX7 with the tri-lighted Antec Fan( 2600RPM,28dBA,32.5CFM) @10.5x180... the CPU Temp is under 46C's and I can not hear it

Running a 1600+@ 1575 MHz with a Panaflo L1A + Alpha PAL8045 here. Stable as a rock, but my temps are kind of highish... 49-50C idle, 57-58C after running Prime95 for 2+ hours (I'm at default voltage, temps using the internal diode, case temp ~27-28C). The loudest component in my system is without a doubt my power supply fans, and that's a mod just waiting to happen

How does the Papst 8412NGL compare to the Panaflo L1A and the YS Tech? Anybody use this?

Please see here.


I have two 1600+ o/c to 1.75ghz, 166mhz FSB. One is using a Alpha 8045 with a Panaflo, and the other is using a $15 Taisol HSF. Neither system has any case fans. Just the PSU and the HSF..both systems have passively cooled videocards as well.


Also, if I had the choice between my $15 Taisol or any of Thermalright's products, I would choose the Taisol. The AX-7 is well over the weight spec of the Socket 462, and it's relies on those three small plastic tabs to hold it on....no thanks.

So? Lay your case on its side.

If I wanted to do that, I would get a desktop case..

Thanks! This is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish, and you're even using basically the same parts that I own or was looking at.
