    Reducing fan speed

    Thanks for your replies. Seems to me just sticking a resistor or trimmer pot is simpler, I just don't know what values of resistor I'd need or, if using a trimmer, whether it's better in series or parallel.

    Reducing fan speed

    I have an old Mad Dog slot cooler from my old Prescott system, and I thought it might come in handy sticking it next to my graphics card in a system I just built. If you look at these specs, you'll see it runs a bit noisy, and I was thinking of slowing it down to somewhere between 50-66%, using...

    Cooling A 125-Watt Phenom X6 1055T

    >>Another thing I noticed, you have a lower case temperature than me. What temp do you keep the room at?<< In all honesty I don't know. I'm in the New York area and early on steam heat is a blast and later in the evening things cool off. Even on blast furnace mode temps for some reason are...

    Cooling A 125-Watt Phenom X6 1055T

    >>I'd say it depends on PSU.<< That's all fine and well but I still don't think aiming the the CPU fan exhaust up to the PSU air intake is a good idea. ;) I did see an interesting Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B that allows you to place the fan(s) on any side of the unit. I'm not sure that bugger will...

    Cooling A 125-Watt Phenom X6 1055T

    >>If you don't exchange the air in the case, you will have a difficult time cooling with cooling.<< Of course, but I was talking about some heatsink designs that blow air right in the direction of your power supply. It doesn't matter how much cross-ventilation you have, you're gonna fry your...

    Cooling A 125-Watt Phenom X6 1055T

    Yeah, you guys here running water, I wish you the best of luck. I'll pass, however. >>am i worried it will leak and break down, no, if it does it does, and corsair covers it and the parts broken IIRC...<< I doubt they'll cover anything besides the H50. Show me in writing where they say...

    Cooling A 125-Watt Phenom X6 1055T

    Thanks for your replies. >>What kind of temperatures were you getting on stock and the scythe?<< Running a stacked render test in Adobe Premiere, I got this with the Scythe: Running the same test with the stock AMD fan, I get this: Of course, the AMD fan is ready for take-off, good thing...

    You need to go over to the Corsair forum and search under "leak". Wake-up call.

    Counterfeit 1055T?

    OK, but how do you "fake" a chip? I don't get this.

    Cooling A 125-Watt Phenom X6 1055T

    I recently built a system around the above chip, and the stock fan, while doing a rip-roaring job of cooling under the gun, sounds like a DC-3 ready for take-off in the process. I replaced the stock fan with a Scythe SCSK-1100, but unfortunately this bugger couldn't keep the temps down. I...

    Counterfeit 1055T?

    Not for nuthin', but how the hell do you fake a CPU? It's not like you can hack one up in your basement...
