Hey guys,

What heat sink are *you* using with your system? What CPU fan? What is
your motherboard and CPU?

Why did you choose what you did?

What kind of temps are you getting, and what are you using to monitor those
temps?

A7N8X del2/XP3200, Aero7 lite (2200rpm), idle=45C, prime95=51C
(socket temp) mobo temp 33C, measured using MBM5. Same temps reported
with AsusProbe.

Current facility standard: ASUS P4C-800E with Intel
Pentium 4 @ 3.06 GHz. Using heatsink/fan from retail,
or "boxed", CPU's. Temperature range, standard load,
approx. 30 deg C.; room ambient, 22 deg C. Monitor is
AsusProbe.

Answer: how long is a piece of string?

Sheeshhh man, you'll get as many responses as there are systems: what good
is that info going to be to you?

a7n8x with amd 3000. stock heat sink and fan checking with everest and
probe and my temp is also constant at 49-51. no matter what its doing also!

I believe signmeuptoo is just the latest reincarnation of a trool that's been here before.
I killfiled him at his second needlessly tiresome question. If he's not the trool I'm
thinking of or one imitating him, he needs to get off his duff and do his own legwork.

Bill
 
I asked not because of legwork, as I already know what I will be using, but
because I thought that it would be an interesting thread. Bill, I do
suggest you killfile me if you really must be so unpleasant about it. Some
people just get off on insulting, and so, enjoy yourself.

Forums exist so people CAN ask questions, so your silly idea that someone
isn't doing legwork by asking reasonable questions is anal. And Bill, it
isn't trool, it is troll. You know how to insult but you sure don't know
how to spell do you?

My opinion is this: if you don't like what a person posts, just leave them
alone thank you.

Larry, I just wanted to let people talk about their systems, I enjoy
letting others show pride in what they have. So far the thread is not so
long as you are saying, but what if it was? Please explain to me what is
wrong with asking well consolidated questions?

Honestly, you all have some unwritten code that is a little bit silly IMHO.
No insult intended here, I just think that it is silly to worry about what
a person asks. Next you might want everyone to shut up, then we will have
no threads.

I got very tired of the many loud whirring fans in my system, so I did a
good deal of research and have begun quieting my PC in stages. The first
thing I did was to replace the case fans with temperature-regulated ones
that also had a low maximum dB(A) rating. Then, I replaced the graphics card
in my system with a reasonably powerful (for me) card w/ 256MB (an
Radeon-9600) that also happens to be fanless and completely silent! That was
a big help.

By far, the loudest component in my system was the CPU fan. So, I replaced
the stock Pentium 4 cooler with a Nexus P4 Quiet CPU Fan PHT-3600 from
www.endpcnoise.com (rated at only 19 dB):

I also paid the extra four bucks for the optional NRC-1000 noise-reduction
cable, which runs the fan slightly slower and thereby reduces the noise
level even further.

I love it. Now, my ears don't hurt anymore after extended computing
sessions. :-)

I'm using the Thermalright SLK-948U (a big copper thing) with an amd64
2800 and a high speed 92mm Panaflow fan rolled down in speed with the
motherboard fan controller. Idle speeds are mid 30s with all fans
running slow. I wouldn't turn up the Panaflow as it gets quite loud.
I have a ATI 9800Pro heating things up in there too.

Even turned down in speed, the Panaflow is pretty noisy spectrum wise.

Next time I'd get the Thermalright heatsink that supports a 120mm fan
as they are quietest when turned down. (Got two of them as case fans
in another box).

Was thinking about water cooling once, but these big Thermalright
heatsinks with AMD64 cores do the job.

Glad AMD came out with such a great product when Intel was hitting
rock bottom and just grinding to a halt.

A big aluminum thing I pried off another CPU.
What CPU fan?
Click to expand...

80mm PS fan, attached to the inside of the case with a custom
bracket (an old case-front fan holder half-flattened with a cut-up I/O
slot cover pop-riveted to it so it reaches all the way from the bottom of the
case to the cross bar), with the air channeled into the heat sink through
a cardboard duct that I made from a Kellogg's Corn Flakes box and tape.

Since you don't have enough working neurons to figure it out, it's
a melding of troll and fool.

HTH, HAND.

Antech Volcano 10+, stock 3000 rpm 70mm x 10mm 20 cfm fan removed, replaced
with 7000 rpm 70mm x 25 mm 45 cfm fan, yes a little noisier but worth it.

Athlon XP 3200+ Barton processor on an Asus A7V600-X Motherboard, getting
31C at idle for processor 30C for case. Using Motherboard Monitor 5 for
temps.

I should add though my system has a 120mm side intake fan, 2 80mm exhaust
fans along with a Vantec dual Slot fan circulating air inside the case.

Yeah, that is why I plan on getting the Thermalright XP-120. It is
supposed to be an almost phenomenal heatsink. I just got my fan that I
will use on it from UPS today, and Enermax UC-12FAB-B. They aren't too
easy to find as a lot of places have stopped carrying them. It has a
variable fan speed control extension on it. It is pretty quiet, and not
too loud at full speed (2300 RPM) but it moves a lot of air, I forget the
specs though.
 
I think that it is really smart to circulate the air inside the case. It
causes turbulence, which means more gas molecules transferring more heat.

Wow, just create turbulance when you need more of a fluid.

Does that work with beer? Now THATS free beer :-p

It's generally a good idea to have *airflow* in your case - ideally,
turn it into a little wind tunnel with air in at the front and out at
the back. If you get it in at the front-bottom and out at the back-top,
all the better - just keep it moving in one direction.

I took a spare 120mm fan, used a Greenlee punch to make 5- 1 1/4" holes
in the side panel of the case right over the CPU and ram.. Blows a nice
stream of air all over everything..
