Hey Guys,
I found another review, from a French guy. Use google to translate, the results seam quite impressive, they lowered the temp of their GPU for more than 40° C, whilst lowering the noise massively at the same time.
Have a look...
Hi Ridden,
well if it's touching and it's possible to solve this problem by mounting the fan a single fin higher than I'd try to do it this way. It surely won't have too big influence on the cooling-performance.
greets Floke
have to agree with Zero82z - his advice is exactly that what I'd recommend.
The AC F64p is a good deal in price/performance and also verry silent. It's specially well-cooperating with asus-boards and puts some air from the cpu-fan down to the heatpipecooler which's comin from the southbridge...
I'd also recommend the freezer 7 pro - it's the best price/performance-cooler out there - you can't do a mistake buying this one. I'd also buy a 120-mm-fan for the case-front therefore that you'r in-case-circulation can work better. A 80 mm-outtake-fan in the rear would complete the setting...
Well I can recommend the Freezer from my own experiences - over here it's performing verry well on mx X2 4000+. I think it's the cooler with the best price/performance-ratio and that while bein still silent. Of course there are more powerfull coolers out there as scythe or maybe zalman - but...
Humn - I'm not sure whether the Accelero X1 will fix to your card, but think it won't. :-/
it's only capable for the NV 7900 GTX, GTO.
Another alternate besides the zalman would be the Revoltec Graphics Freezer Pro with a fan-mod.

Before changing the fan I'd definitely try it out. Sure it doesn't have this great air flow, but therefore it's really silent. The big question is wether you can mount the panaflow-fan to the buffered-mounting on which the original fan on the freezer is mounted to. If there's no way to do that...
Humn - if you're not yet decited here's another vote for Freezer.
It's doin' a verry decent job on my X2 4000+ and I woldn't change it for any other cooler. ;)
A negative aspect beside the high price of the zalman is the fact that you can't replace the fan if it's broken. I'd think twice...
For asus-mainboards I'd recommend using the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. Of course it doesn't have the cooling performance of the scythe, but the advantage is, that through the lower blades of the tower are bent down the heatpipecooler coming from the southbridge benefits of airflow from the...
Hiho over there,
well temperatures over 60° ain't too nice so it's understandable that you worry about this. The first step is as mentioned to mount an intaking fan in the front.
In terms of the rpm: have a look at your bios. there you should find anywhere settings for the cpu-fan. You'll...
yeh - think you'll do well with it for the money you gotta leave for it.
I've mounted mine on an AM2 4000+ (of course an Freezer 64 Pro) and I'm verry satisfied about the decent way it does it job.
Would be fine to hear how far you came.

At this price-differnce it should'n be any question!
I really like mine (i've got the Freezer64 pro, but they're mostly the same...)
It's doin a decent job at a verry comfortable noise-level. I'm really pleased about the job it does.

I also used myself the premounted thermal-compound and was right content with it. Changing to AS5 didn't make out any difference at all. I also read that dell/ibm and some other bigname-brands should be using this thermal-compound ... they prolly should know why.
