I've Switched to AMD.

[drshdw]

Alright so I started putting this new system together this morning and the ZALMAN is WAYYYY to big... It's so big that it covers up my IDE channel and my AGP Slot  and even hits a few capicitors in the process. :wacko:

So i'm looking for an alternative. Right now I have the AMD one attached and I have plenty of room.

Thermalright XP-90c. Its got da powah :p Anyways, doesn't the Zalman website have a list of compatible mobos? If yours is listed as compatible and it doesn't fit, Im pretty sure you could get a refund/exchange for another model.

Well i saw it as comptaible 939 HSF but didn't realize that it was so big that it has issues with different layouts. The Neo2 Platinum is listed as incompatible on the website. I didn't even know their was a compatibility list. :wacko:

I just called Zalman and the on that will fit is the 7000-cuB. its 92mm. So i'm gonna order up one of those.

If anyone wants this zalman 7700Cu hit me up with a PM i'd gladly ship it to for like $30.00.

Wow steven, from earlier threads of yours I've posted in, I would have NEVER guessed you'd go over to AMD :|

I always thought of you as "The Intel guy" hahah

Glad you finally switched though :)

I just switched from a VIA C3 800MHz to AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 2.2GHz BIG DIFFERENCE

[Matrix XII]

haha, no kidding man. That is a SERIOUS change :D

[Steven]

wow..its so quiet in my room now!!! and this new AMD runs at a much lower voltage 1.4v vs 1.6 (Northwood)

OMG I CAN FINALLY SLEEP!!!! :D

[Sandor]

welcome to the SUPERIOR side :D

[Enisada]

Good to have another peep in the AMD crew. :D

LOL, be glad you didn't have a Prescott :laugh: Anyways, how are the temps with stock cooling? Also, did you apply any AS5 (or any thermal paste, for that matter)?

[Steven]

i think i'm around 107F

[zachman123]

I would get a X2 for my rig I'm about to build, but they're so damn expensive compared to their intel counterparts. I'll be settling with a Pentium D instead...

I never thought AMD would be the much more expensive one.

It depends what you mean by counterparts ;) An X2 4200+, although more expensive than the cheapest Pentium D, will beat the crap out of most Ds (except the highest end ones) ;) You see, the thing is all of AMD's dual core processors are really high end, while Intel has a line of mid-range dual cores. That'll change when AMD releases their X2 3800+.

Stock Intel coolers are loud. I placed mine with the same Zalman you're using and now my Northwood is very quiet.

You can already buy the 3800+ x2 from tekheads for ?265

I'm not using the Zalman, it wouldn't fit. I"m using the Stock AMD Fan right now. I'm gonna get a 7000B-cu as soon as I can afford it. :)
