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.

Thermaltake Silent Boost 80mm. It is an all copper heatsink.

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 :)

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

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)?

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+.

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

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

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. :)

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
