SLK-800????

[BongoDave]

I just install my new SLK800+panaflo instead of the retale HS/Fan from AMD. I only have a drop of 2° (50 to 48°C). I'm kind of disapointed by those result.... There goes 50$ (can ).

by the way... internal temp of my case is 27°C and room temp is 24°C.

Are you sure it is seated properly? Apparently it can slide forward and not sit level on the processor? Did you use thermal paste as well?

I used Arctic Silver 3
How could I check if it sit properly?

Scroll to the bottom here

If the heatsink is too far forward that could mean it's on that front plastic piece. If so, then the heatsink does not make full contact on the cpu. Be sure it's pushed mostly towards the rear, as pictured.

I have the SK-7, not the SLK-800, but this still may apply:

The clip on the SK-7 isn't "indexed" in the heatsink. You can move the heatsink back and forth along the clip a bit. When I installed my SK-7 the first time, it happened to be towards the screwdriver end of the clip, and it got high-centered on the solid-plastic section of the CPU socket, the part where the locking lever is hinged. I had to unclip the clip, hook the non-screwdriver end, slide the heatsink as far away from the solid end of the CPU socket as possible, and then clip it down, so that the situation shown in Figure 14 here didn't arise.

If it isn't that, then I don't know what it could be, unless you reversed the heatsink completely.

I think it is the fan, it does not push enough CFM. It seems like these high end heatsinks do need higher CFM fans in order to really show their super cooling prowess!

Not exactely.
I have a YS-Tech Silent fan (20dBa, 27CFM) and my SLK-800 Cools great.

I use a Vantec Stealth 80MM on mine, it works very well!

just wondering... what's the difference between the SLK-700 and the SLK800? Beside the TMD stock Fan it looks the same to me??

my new 2400+ has the slk800 and a crappy fan. it's 32C idle.

My 2400+ (200 FSB x 10 - 1.675 v) and SLK-800 are 32 c idle, 40 c 100% load after an hour of Prime95...
