Which Cpu cooler is the best ?


Recommended Posts

interesting to note that no one uses swiftech. i have an mcx462+. it works so wonderfully... it has a huge copper base, and lots of helicoids (eww, new vocab... it means, high thermal conductivity, specially designed, aluminum rods ;) )

i have a 2500+ (1.83ghz) oc'ed to 2256mhz at 37C... i would go higher, but my multipliers don't work at as they should at 14 and 15x, and my fsb is already high enough, 180 for a 166mhz cpu... the ram is 166mhz (pc2700/333mhz ddr) and i don't wanna destroy that either. plus, the northbridge itself is quite warm :-X

but i will solve the northbridge problems with one of swiftech's chipset coolers ;) it matches my cpu heatsink :-P

Others are just paper weights :p

The Vantec Aeroflow is much like how the 2500 Barton is, the best one for the money. Both do an outstanding job, where the Vantec can keep your cpu temps under 40C, and the 2500 can easily be the 3200. ;)

The stock Barton HS that comes with the retail package is acceptable...it is very quiet and does a passible job...

However, a $7 speeze is just as quiet, runs about 500RPM slower and cools better...

Shame I didn't realise how bad the stock HS sucked or I would have saved the five bucks and got the OEM model...considering using a non-stock HS voids the manufacturers warranty...

Just what sort of case/processor temps are we talking about with these flashy high-end heatsinks? Considering I think the Speeze is a big step up from my old coolermaster, anything that costs more than $10 is flashy and high-end...

I got 68'F/106.8'F (20'C/42'C) full load right now with the stock heatsink (what a b*tch to get on...). I got about two or three 'F lower with the speeze...and that was before I realized I forgot to change the voltage from 1.75 to 1.65...(palamino to barton). I think I am going speezey again...

I am very interested in what performance real-world people are getting.

And what if i am???? :blush:

I've got the SLK 947U with a sunon 80mm fan and i've only seen my cpu go to about 102F after playing a game.

Only thing that makes it go above that is the inconsistent room temperature (dorm heating).

How are they going to know if you used a non-stock heatsink?

the Swiftech MCX462-V

a mate of mine just brought one a few days ago... looks really good too

and lol twisted.. i run a soon to be dual rad innovatek system.. h20 rox

im using this on old barton system, its much cooler then an slk at least 6c for me using the same fan, panaflo / thermatke 92mm case fan 32db , very quite, get the swifttech , its very easy to put on, also remember to unscrew when you want it tighter :D

to run a 266Watt peltier you would definitely have to run a 2nd power supply. You also have to be able to dissipate 266watts plus the 70 or 80 Watts of CPU heat, so thats like 330Watts or there abouts.

I personally went for water cooling (maze3 waterblock) cos it cheap and very quiet - the noisiest thing in my PC is the HDD !! :p Oh and my CPU temperature is 28 - 33 degrees C.

Al

ahh fellas..... i have and extra suppy all lined up... i know the rules or i wouldnt be trying it

the peltiers are going 16-17 volt

and im alreay lining up some dielectric grease and closed cel neoprene :)

not a new cookie too cooling fellas ;)

    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
