** QUESTION ** 2200+ with SK-7 heatsink and panaflow fan ?!?!?

i am running a 2200+ AMD.

i plan to purchase the Thermalright SK-7 pure copper heatsink.

i have a Panaflow fan that blows 24CFM at 1900rpm.

is that fan recommended? will it make my cpu burn?


please suggest me another fan if this would not work out.

here is the full specs of the Panaflow fan i currently have.

It should work fine, but if you plan to overclock, you might want to get a differen't fan. I just purchased the slk-800 and mated it with a ys-tech variable speed fan, the one with the rheostat attached and it works great. I have my 1700+ o/c'd to 11.5x205 for 2.36Ghz and my cpu temp never gets over 39c with the fan at about 70%. If I just run 11x200 the thing stays below 34c with the fan at about half speed and is damn near silent.
 
I recommend YS-tech. I can recommend it because I use one and my cpu is overclocked 500mhz and under full load it is 36c -38c.
 
You'll have no problem, especially if your case has good airflow. I was even able to overclock my old tbird with an SK7 and L1a.

OC a Tbird w/ an L1A? Wow. Well, now I won't worry about my 1800+ about to be using an AX-7 and L1A!
 
My sk7 must be defective because i'm idling at 56c right now w/ a 50cfm 80mm (28c case temp) 🙁

Your heatsink may be sitting too close to the end of the CPU socket that has the raised, solid-plastic section. Look at figure 14 of this guide and see if this is happening to you.

If it is, then take the heatsink off, reapply your thermal compound, clip down the end that's away from the raised plastic end, then slide the heatsink down the clip as far away from the raised plastic end as possible. Now clip it down and see what your temps are like.

The other thing to remember is that mobos are calibrated all over the place. For some boards, a 56C reading is absolutely normal, for others it's way high. There are some boards that normally read around 70C (Abit nForce1 boards). Don't get too stressed, just make really sure your heatsink isn't riding up on the raised part of the CPU socket 🙂
 
mechBgon, thanks for the advice. I've remounted multiple times before and used a mirror to check for that exact problem you pointed out but it seems to be seated properly. System stability is fine so I'm not too worried about my temps. It's just that I used to watercool on my tbirds so now idling over 50c makes me cringe 😀
 
Oops, nm then 😉

Does your SK-7 tend to collect lint like mine does, by the way? I'll have to remember to open up the case every so often and clean my heatsink 😛
 
hahah, I had the same lint problem on my sk6 tbird rig. This sk7 I have is only about 2 weeks old so no lint yet 😀
 
I've got an SLK-800a, and I usually have to clean it weekly! Those fins are REALLY close together, and it doesn't take much to make temps jump......
