| 318401 | 2005-01-27 06:36:00 | i suggest you buy a new motherboard and cpu. Primarily because i think you may have done severe damage to the motherboard and cpu by running it without proper cooling. TO me it is quite obvious you have no idea what you are doing, if you get a new mb and cpu ask the shop to kindly install it for you or even assemble the whole piece. Im not trying to be nasty, but the truth hurts | Tux (606) | ||
| 318402 | 2005-01-27 06:44:00 | good be a point, but before you present the cash, maybe you could get it tested at a pc shop? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 318403 | 2005-01-27 09:40:00 | How thin/thick a layer of thermal grease did you apply. Yes, it does sound to me like you have no idea what you are doing and should get a nice friend to help you out. |

| 318404 | 2005-01-27 10:32:00 | Review here on your cooler In short: looks nifty quiet intel stock cooler beats it quite compehensively (except in sound) The heat sink needs lapping to get a proper base contact and/or use premium thermal compound Retension mechanism somewhat suspect. www.tweaknews.net |

| 318405 | 2005-01-27 12:37:00 | what damage could have been done and how to find that out? i think that nothing has been harmed because i only allowed to get that hot only to find out if it was going to go back down . the cpu's life may be shortened but id rather run to death than buy a new one . im pretty sure the mobo is fine as well but is there some way to check . of course i dont know what im doing, thats why im here . all connections were made properly and everything works so how to know if somethin is wrong? i will not run it again until i have a hsf on the cpu . and will not run it into a high temp at all . The plan is to take it somewhere if reseating the hsf once again doesnt work . have a good one . |

| 318406 | 2005-01-27 21:50:00 | you have done damage, it is shown by your earlier posts that you only used a SUB standard heatsink for heat protection. The bios turned your computer off. i dont want to know how many times you did that but you have no idea bout the thermodynamics of a cpu. You have already found that out, i suspect you have done damage ot the actual architecture by constantly runnin git at super hot temps . Second, how the hell can you break fan clips? I brought all the pieces for my computer in one day, and had it running in an hour. Yours is taking days, becuase you just dont know what you are doing. Take it to someone who does, please, before you post anything more | Tux (606) | ||
| 318407 | 2005-01-27 23:08:00 | Before fronting up your hard earned cash for new kit, get the thing set up properly where it isn't fighting the case fan for airflow . It would be more efficient with the case fan turned off if you can't get clear air from elsewhere (BTW, too many fans can spoil the cooking) . By the looks of that thing, it relys almost entirely on the heat pipes tranferring heat to the heatsink . I guess it requires good airflow from the fan to assistist tranfer up the heat pipes, without that, it's relying almost entirely on passive tranfer to a heatsink that is not directly attached to the mounting . Another issue I see, and as mentioned by others, is the clips . They look weak, if in a tower case, do as suggested previously as to airflow but, also lay the case down so that the weight of the HSF is bearing down on the CPU, not dragging across it . See if that makes any difference . To replace the defective clicp, get a nylon machine screw from a computer shop . Rig it up through the existing clip housing and spring (I presume there's a spring in there to provide tension and to protect the board from over-tightening) On that note, $32 for a good after market cooler doesn't cut it for me, unless it's on a very good special . You can pay almost that for a top of the line fan, let alone the whole unit . Expect to pay $50+ but more likely $80-100 for something with a good heatsink and connection (the most important bits) . Check reviews from cooling and quiet PC sites, not shops, before choosing . Personally I reakon you can't go much wrong with a Zalman copper based cooler, it'll cost though . |

| 318409 | 2005-01-27 23:28:00 | I dont know who invented that Freezer 7 Cooler, but by the looks of it I wouldn't want it within 100 metres of any CPU of mine. only thing I can determine is that the CPU is just used to support the big cube of heatsink that gets cooled by the fan and doesn't actually help your CPU in any way except perhaps to commit suicide. I suggest you get a proper cooler and get it put on properly by someone who's done it before. If it still overheats then something is probably damaged. |

| 318410 | 2005-01-28 01:31:00 | ahem Arctic Cooling is the well known brand that produce the super silent CPU cooler and their most famous VGA Silencer . Today, we are their latest CPU cooler which is known as the Freezer 7 . The Freezer 7 is design to specially support the Intel socket 775 . Extremely Quiet The low speed 80 mm fan reduces the noise level to a minimum . The patented fan holder is able to practically eliminate the typical buzzing sound of 80mm fans . Powerful cooling The Heat Pipes with expanded diameter are able to transfer heat up to 200 Watt . The heat exchanger is built of 40 fins and consists of a surface area of over 5000 cm2 and allows for resistance free energy transfer to air . Low Weight In the high performance range of coolers, this cooler count as featherweights with less than 500 gr which avoids mainboard socket problems . conclusion As the Intel LGA 775 plaform is a well known very high temperature produce by the processor . By using the Freezer 7, it able to pull down the temperature to 43 Celsius during idle at high fan speed . While the testing of the loading temperature, I was running the Stress Prime 2004 together with the 3DMark 05, the full loading temperature was only at 55 Celsius which is very low compare to the Intel stock cooler which is at 65 Celsius . Anyway, it was still a great results produce by the Freezer 7 . techniz . co . uk/modules . php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=177" target="_blank">www . techniz . co . uk |
