| 224868 | 2004-03-25 07:07:00 | ok thanks guys. i have a 3D gigabyte Cooler Pro sititng here. i will take the stock standard heatsink off, i used the stock standard heatsink first becuase it was keeping my CPU cooler when it was under clocked. but now that it is at its full clock speed i will put the 3D Cooler back on. that should cool my CPU down. |

| 224869 | 2004-03-25 07:22:00 | TBH, the 3D gigabyte cooler is a load of crap..... should go out and get urself a CoolerMaster Aero 7+. Dunno, why u r running so hot tho ...I mean my Barton 2500+ overclocked to 3200+ idle at 45 and max at 50ish with just the stock cooling. Try taking the side panel of ur case off and see if it improves : ) |

I suggest you read the instructions of the artic silver site as well then,they apply to all brands of thermal paste . All the paste does is provide a 100 percent contact between the cpu and heatsink,only a tiny even amount is required . More then enough,especially much more then enough will certainly bring on high operating tempertures . |

| 224873 | 2004-03-25 11:07:00 | I have a 2800 running on the same board using a 3dcooler pro. CPU 45 MB 33 As reported by MBM. Good airflor in the case can make a big difference. |

| 224874 | 2004-03-25 11:33:00 | Get yourself a bit of stiffish plastic like an old credit card and cut to shape like like a spatula. Use it to gently scrape the worst of the paste of the cpu then use alcahol as metla suggested to get the rest off (your mum or sister may have some medical grade stuff that will do fine) using a soft lint free cloth. If you want to change from the stock cooler and don't like too much noise, you can't go too far wrong with a Zalman CNPS cooler. The all copper flower type are the best IMO. Not the cheapest but, very good heatsinks with a separately mounted fan with adjustable speed. Cheers Murray P |

| 224875 | 2004-03-26 00:43:00 | lol. after spending $100 on the Gigabyte 3D cooler pro when it first hit new zealand i dont think im going to easily fork out for another heatsink, i will make use of my 3D cooler pro. havent put it on yet will do tonight, i will post back and let you know what temp im getting. im getting the feeling the Cooler Pro was made for hotter CPU's, as it wasnt doing anything special for my cooler 1800+ CPU. |

| 224876 | 2004-03-26 01:00:00 | My Barton 2800+ temp at idle is 23-26c. Gigabyte GA-7VA, Thermaltake Volcano 9 H/S & fan, Thermaltake Volcano 9 Case fan, Thermaltake 420w PSU. Goes up to about 40c under heavy load | Davesdad (923) | ||
