<0> i asked people they said it was thats way too much
<1> it's a prescott right?
<0> yes
<1> 3.2ghz?
<2> asus probe has also been known to give off higher than what it really is scores
<0> yes
<0> but now with ****ty compound its liek 90C and shuts down
<0> u think if i get artic silver and apply it will be low enough?
<0> the bios reports same degrees as asus probe
<1> just googled..quite a few results about 3.2Ghz prescotts running really hot
<1> 160-170 degrees fahrenheit for instance
<0> url
<0> this is the enemy
<0> so prescotts **** cock?
<1> http://www.google.com/search?q=prescott+3.2ghz+temperature
<0> does the dual core run much cooler?
<1> why are you worried about temperature if everything ran fine before?
<0> well the machine was like stop and go sluggish
<0> im reading article it throttles back at 70 C
<0> well i want to get it up and running
<1> it's not posting at all now right?
<1> (after you used you finger to apply thermal paste)
<0> it posted but was too hot shuts down efter it exits bios
<0> >90C
<1> ok, so you'll want to remove the current thermal paste
<0> i did
<1> how?
<0> paper towerl
<1> and you used isopropyl alcohol on the heatsink?
<0> nope
<0> just wiped it clean
<1> so you reapplied it with a credit card or business card - an ultra thin layer?
<0> didnt reapply anything
<0> cause im not sure what i have will do the job
<0> the radio shack crap is runs it at like 40C higher then the stock intel compound did
<1> probably because you used your finger
<1> you can also look at getting a better heatsink
<0> im upset with intel on this processor i cannot belive the bs
<0> ok i can spread with business card
<0> apply to cpu or heaqt sink
<1> cpu..
<0> should i keep heatsink off and let it dry some?
<1> no
<1> you want a very thin flat surface
<1> and the heatsink needs to be very clean.. hence the isopropyl alochol
<0> should i run with the case open?
<1> if you want
<0> wow much better with credit card and no fingers
<0> im impressed
<0> anybody have asus mb in here?
<0> should i use AI quiet i rather just have my fans going full speed
<3> hah
<3> install speedfan
<3> check your temps
<3> if there cool you can make the fans a lil quieter
<3> till its to hot at load
<0> k dont care about quiet
<0> i care about speed and my **** working and lasting
<0> i turned off all the fan throttling in the bios
<4> RogerRabb the only disadvantages of watercooling are price and maintenance
<4> the advantages outway them heavily. keeps components cooler, silent, and takes up less space
<1> reservoirs take up far more space than a few fans
<1> I don't see why you're preaching to me though..
<0> you shouldnt have to buy super cooling to run a pc
<1> I'm in agreement there.. I would like to go as far to say you shouldn't have to buy fans to run a pc either..
<1> but oh well
<4> <0> you should get water cooling system
<4> check out www.dangerden.com
<0> so you want me to spend $200 on cooling?
<4> your computer will perform better being cooler
<0> i could of just kept my old pc
<0> its like not worth it for the clock speed increase
<4> RogerRabb the reservoirs can be external
<1> because they take up too much space to go inside the pc case..
<1> yes.
<4> Ryeuken more like 130 for cooling
<0> thats way too much
<4> Ryeuken but its something that you use over and over for lots of years to come
<0> how many years 1 max?
<4> the only thing that needs replacing is the liquid
<1> before you need to replace the tubing - about that
<4> yeah and tubing
<4> thats it
<4> by a cooling system once, you can reuse it many times in the future
<4> the value isn't lost quickly like with computers
<0> what about different sockets and cases?
<0> and power requirements?
<1> what sort of temps are you getting now Ryeuken?
<0> 62 C
<1> cool.
<0> thats good?
<1> for the prescotts it seems so
<4> the main reason why I'm getting water cooling is because the northbridge fan cooler that came with my asus k8n-dl bareley does its job and its loud AND my gpu's fan that barley does its job makes my room sound like an airport; I can't find any gpu cooler that doesn't take up any additional slots. I'm using all my pci slots the one right next to the pci-e x16.
<5> What videocard is this, SvX?
<4> oh pci-e x16 card also goes a little bit over my northbridge. all the 3rd party northbridges I bought are too tall so I can't put my video card in
<4> nerp its nvidia geforce 6600
<4> but the maker xfx put some loud loud fan in there
<1> what water cooling kit are you getting?
<4> danger den
<4> so you see. I can't by a 3rd party northbridge and gpu cooler. the 3rd party northbridges are too tall. and the 3rd party gpu coolers are too big
<3> 4th party
<1> oh well good luck setting that up
<3> just saw the heatsink
<3> or get a low profile/fan one
<3> is best
<3> if i wasnt so lazy id rip off my northbridge heatsink
<3> but its stuck on there pretty damn good
<4> RogerRabb you know how big those zalman fans are that cool nvidia vid cards?
<4> well look at this
<4> http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/14-150-123-02.JPG
<4> see how small that thing is? that means its constantly running at top speed and it has metal fins so its extremely loud
<3> pfft that one is tiny
<3> prob ****s ***
<4> even for me when I put my computer and I turned it on I was like "wtf why is it so ******* loud
<4> eng qoute
<1> I'm a heatpipe fan(excuse the awesome pun) myself
<4> RogerRabb this is my motherboard
<4> http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/13-131-059-02.JPG
<4> remember? I was getting an asus k8n-dl
<4> its incredibly good for its price. its one of the few with a 1000MHz Hyper Transport FSB
<4> board costing 3 times as much had only 800mhz hyper transport fsb
<4> but you see how the video card can crawl over the northbridge?
<4> and all my pci slots next door I taken
<4> so you see why water cooling is a good option for me?
<3> saw your heatsink
<3> point a fan at it
<3> or water cool
<4> I did buy a heatsink
<4> the northbridge got to hot
<4> what I did is buy a tall prickly heatsin. so the thing card would go inbetween the pins
<1> I would do everything in my power to avoid water cooling
<3> y its teh quietest
<3> and he seems to care about noise
<1> I don't like it..that's not saying it's bad
<3> they make some kick *** 2' tall radiators
<4> RogerRabb why!? your acting like its bad. water cooling is great. I'm reading about all the advantages. and I'm also reading its extremely reliable
<3> and it looks super cool too with uv fluid
<3> extremely reliable
<3> nothings more reliable that just a big *** heatsink
<3> cant go bad unless a bomb explodes the fins off
<4> heatsink and nforce4 chipset don't mix well
<1> I ****ing hate maintenance on computers.. I build them then EXPECT them to run without any looking over for at least a year
<4> the nforce4 northbridge gets extremely hot
<4> maintenance is fun for me. I don't mind replenishing the liquid every year. is that your only concern? thats why you want to avoid it?
<3> haha every year?
<3> try every month or 2
<4> RogerRabb so seriously if you were in my position what would you have do?
<3> how many radiators you gonna use?
<3> watercooling to do it good will cost you over 300$
<1> I also don't like the idea of liquid inside a pc.. just another thing which could go wrong..I'd look at bloody peltier cooling before water cooling, and that's saying something
<4> dunno yet
