65 - 57C! Nice improvement.

 

[jpetermann]

Not much difference between the 80 and 90mm at all.

 

[THUGSROOK]

i cant wait to get a panaflo 92mm L1A fan on this bad boy!

(43cfm 27dba baby!)

Thats sweet at load.Nice temperature decrease.From the 80mm to the 92mm is only 1C,but its 1C cooler.

 

[THUGSROOK]

that T&T fan isnt a great fan ~ ill expect the panaflo 92mm to be much better and a tad quieter.

dont forget,
the 92mm does help to cool the board and ram too

I love it when Thugs brings out the devil in himself .Oh!,better watch pj is around..LOL

Hmm...
You needs to do a MCX4000 vs SLK-900
Nice results.

 

[THUGSROOK]

the 92mm is nice

ill update this thread when i get my panaflo.

 

[LastRide]

I bought 2 off a guy in a forum the Panaflo High and Low.I want to check them both out and see if there is much of a difference.My MCX4000 will be here early next week to cause of the holidays.

 

[jpetermann]

So guys, we have a new "KING OF THE HSF"S" around here.... ya think?

 

[SinfulWeeper]

The price is right over @ svc also

 

[THUGSROOK]

MCX4000 is the new P4 HS king !!!!!

all hail......

 

[LastRide]

Maybe the SLK-900 can match it but the MCX4000 will be hard to beat thats for sure.Thugs,I can see why you wan to drop a few C's.:Q

make that +3fsb and still going :Q

 

[TenEgg]

and the temp hasn't changed....awesome!

 

[LastRide]

:wine:

 

[THUGSROOK]

180fsb failed

+3fsb on same vcore is awesome tho!

woohoo! ~ 3.4ghz club ....of course i still have more testing to do before concidering it 100% stable.

 

[LastRide]

Man,nothing wrong with an extra 3FSB on same vcore.Sure sounds like a killer heatsink.:camera:
