hey you guys realize what this means dont you?

heat is a serious problem when approaching 3.4ghz even on default voltage!
i wonder how intel is gonna deal with that.
lower vcore i would assume?
 
Yes it does seem heat is an issue.The temps seem to skyrocket when you hit around a certain FSB from what I been following.Even at default voltage they are a little higher than the earlier B0-C1 CPU's.
 
LOL ~ na no thx 😛

id rather stay on air so the "avg joe" can follow along with me.
there are already plenty of ATOCC members posting info on water or phase change.
i believe Technonut has returned to air cooling? :Q (ill have to read his update as to why)
 
maybe if someone that owned one woulda done a review on it ages ago then maybe i woulda bought one ages ago.

😛 😛 😛
 
maybe if someone would've sent me an Alpha for a comparison test ages ago then maybe I would've done a comparison test ages ago.


😛😛😛😛
 
Hey, I just happened upon it myself. It's not like there were a whole lot of people saying" you need to use this HSF." I am glad I decided to look for a new one. It was not because the Alpha was a bad performer, but I had a semi-stripped screw from taking it on and off so much... 😀
 
my swiftech with TMD fan gives me much better results than my alpha with YS-Tech adjustable ever did, and it's a lot quieter to boot.

Hey man....i told mikki millions and millions years ago to get it...and he got it...but he is too lazy to do a review on it...hee hee

but seriously...i will try to get the SLK-900 (hey...i didn't know the mecedez made it up to 900...jk) but that monster look really HUGE...dont'' know if it would fit on my mobo or the next one i am planning to buy after...
 
SCK, what do you want me to compare it to? The stock hsf?! 😛 hehe....

Thugsrook, nice! :Q😉:beer:
 
You are getting 22 degrees above ambient at idle. That seems awfully high to me. Are you using Asus probe by chance or a hardware temp monitor?
 
I was planing on getting this heatsink for some time.. I just finally did a few weeks before pj made that first review. Now im glad I went with it

thats normal for this board ~ every chip ive ever had in this board (9? 10?) runs at about that idle temp.
Asus PCprobe

Example: P4 2.26b stock speed and 1.5v vcore = 41*C / 32*C idle

🙂
 
wow, the Swiftech looks good.
Which Panaflo is it you're going to get? High or low power? Gotta love these, 2 92mm Panaflos high power for 1?... awesome 🙂

And what about this one?
Maker: DELTA
Model: FFB0912EHE
Size: 92 x 92 x 38 (mm)
Bearing: Dual Ball Bearing System
Voltage: 12V
Speed: 4800 rpm
Air Flow: 110.18 CFM
Noise Level: 55 dBA

Stock fan for the SLK-900-U according to Thermalrights homepage. THAT is a serious fan... allthough I'm pretty 100% sure I couldn't stand the noise 😀
 
i will only use panaflo low speed fans.

im getting the 92mm low.

panaflos make zero motor noise ~ so whatever noise they do make is more like a pleasant breeze sound, not an annoying BUZZ.
youd be surprised how many of us in here run "quiet" or even "silent" systems :Q
