heatpipes are sealed under vacum and usually use water the high quality heatpipes also have either a braided wick or sinter wick to aid in fluid return once is has been cooled sufficiently.

I think getting d-tek heatercore would be your best bet for saving money recently I think prices have dropped i picked up mine for 35 canadian plain or 40 with some crappy spray painted colour also has the benefit of being better than the single 120mm black ice rads forgot to mention the...

who is with me on petitioning better manufacturing practices! haha like "They" would care anyways.

I am not sure if someone has mentioned this I checked the posts but not down to the letter. Do what the dudes above say using all the standoffs but also make sure you are using the I/O shield that came with the board or a compatible one and make sure all the mounting holes are lining up as close...

anyone remember the flash animation on pwned.nL ?

I would recommend a fan that is 38mm wide or the 32mm wide papst fans as they are quiet but give better performance than their 25mm counterparts as the static pressure they can create is higher.

its normal for the reserator it was not designed with performance in mind

Tdx or swiftech 6000 series bloc

I use a panaflo medium speed 120mm fan it has decent static pressure and is fairly quiet they work well at lower voltages look for the ones made in japan.

The zalman waterblock is ok but not a high performance piece of gear, I would not recommend it there are better things to be had for the same amount of cash.

that cooler cools only marginally better than an xp-90 or xp-120 and costs more plus the wieight overall i think thermalright is the best choice as i dislike thermaltake and all their marketing hype/bs/inflated specs YEAH I AM A THERMALRIGHT HATER :D the xp series are also better than the...

Thought I would give some input as I have had quite the battle with noise and I am a silent pc freak. First of all no matter what fan specs say or what someone tells you i dont believe there are any fans that are 21dba other than the sub 20cfm fans (silenx) so get a fan controller turn them fans...

The short Zalman is ok its fairly quiet offers ok cooling and probably is easier to obtain especially for those looking locally. Otherwise thermalright all the way as it is much better for ocing/noise the zalman doesnt handle overclocking too gracefully on any of the newers setups such as athlon 64.

does seem a tad high i used a silent boost previouisly and got temps in the low to mid 40's at idle which is normal load around 55-60 ambient temperature around 20-21 all in celsius. Do as the post above mine says for TIM application unless you are using an xp-90 or xp-120 then follow...

i have 2 512MB sticks of ocz pc 3200 timings 2-3-3-6 copper heatspreaders handles mild oc to about 215mhz currently running them at 208fsb in a k8n neo2 ultra btw I am located in canada

Thermalright released a bracket thingy for their XP series of heatsinks which are certified to work with preschotts :D

you are a crazier man than I sir

get the xp-90 it is the best aircooler i have used and has no clearance issues with any board at 1.7vcore with an athlon 64 ambient of 24centigrade i get load temps of around 60 with a low speed fan and it also has fairly good mounting pressure which will alleviate some of the hassle with...

Just to let you know a useful tip with the xp-90 the instructions thermalright gives saying to spread the TIM over the HS base and IHS gave me the best results I tried the dab in the middle method also which is what I usually do but the results were not as good. If you spread the TIM real thin...

what heatsink are you using? some heatsinks work better with different application methods

the fan at full speed pushes quite a bit of air, i was reading on the zalman forums that you can take the fan off and bend the bracket a little since i think there may be an issue with mounting pressure and athlon 64's im going to try that out in a bit hopefully i can solve my own problem.

yeah i really dont know whats up with this at stock its marginally better than the oem hsf using a low speed 80mm fan at high volts its not much better than stock at all maybe these zalman 7000's are not made to deal with the high heat output of athlon 64's as i just saw some new one they have...

Just got a zalman 7000alcu mounted as per instructions temps were high when i increased the vcore to 1.7 (idle 45-50 using prime95 maximum heat load 65-74c) using latest bios everything is sitting in a coolermaster wavemaster all the system fans are at 7v (12v/32cfm default speed) zalman hsf fan...
