Nooo, I live in the east coast of the US. Dude, check out the heatsink, it's a beast, like the Swiftech MCX462+. If you use a really tiny amount of thermal paste and do a good job, heatsinks work so much better.

I want to see an Ati Radeon 99999 Ultra Pro, based on the AtiRage core. And people wonder how a Geforce3 is better than a Geforce4 Mx...

Intel Pentium-M, 1.6GHz
Idle: 20'C (Passive cooling/no fan)
Load: 45'C (Max Fan Speed)/65'C (Lowest/Quietest Fan Speed)

Who's General Failure and why's he reading my disk?

Tbred B XP1700+ @2.1 Ghz, 40C idle, 44C load, 28C case, 20C room, Glacial Tech Igloo 2500 w/ YS Tech TMD (36 CFM).

Bought my Zalman this week, slapped it in with some ASIII.
Temps dropped but good, now I actually am running about
30c Idle and 36-40 Full load 2.4c running at 2.88

P4c 2.6 stock cooling
33 idle
45-50 under load

Hey, cool. So maybe I'm not going insane.

The other day after just installing the front 120mm fan on my Sonata case I was surprised when I went into BIOS and saw my P4C 2.6GHz with retail HSF only at 31.5C, even after waiting for it to raise. I thought that I must just be nuts. Maybe that's pretty standard though.

Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to do some serious testing on my new rig (now that my front 120mm fan is finally installed) and with any luck I'll have a more informative post in this thread.

Im pretty sure its standard. My case is getting a bit cramped tough its a Antec performance2 mid-tower. But I got 3Hds 2 optical and a Fx5900(that b!tch doesnt help heh, chip surface can go up to 70c and chip edge 58...)
but the lowest I saw my cpu at is around 28c at idle but my house is pretty cool around 18c...

slvr_phoenix · Aug 8, 2003

Yeah, that video card probably doesn't help. I've got two notoriously hot hard drives in RAID1 so that doesn't help me any. But really I care more about sound than I do about temps, which is why I got the Sonata.

If I can find the time this weekend I'll probably be plugging up the side air vents so that the only intake is from the front 120mm. And then I'll move the front 120mm from a 'fan only' PSU-regulated slot to a stock voltage slot to try and help increase intake, what with the loss of the side vents and all. If it all works out okay I'll probably have a bit higher temps but an even quieter PC. If it doesn't work out okay ... who knows? Heh heh.

Ya this sonata case looks sweet and the way you setup the fan could do great. I got 2 hd in raid0 and on as a storage.Good stuff I put a the intake fan right in front of the HDDs and one exhaust at the CPU height...About noise, sometime I have to shut down the PC at night its right next to my bet and that 5900 is pretty loud with the 2 case fan hehe...

slvr_phoenix · Aug 8, 2003

Yeah. I'm not entirely impressed with my CPU HSF and/or my video card. One of them is making some minorly annoying noise and I'm pretty sure it's the CPU HSF. 🙁 Oh well. Not that it isn't infinitely more quiet than my old Celeron500 box already, but I guess I wanted silence perfection. I'm hoping that plugging up the side vents makes a significant difference.

I bet the 5900 is pretty loud though when you're trying to sleep. Heh heh. That's gotta suck. No overnight downloads then, eh?

I think my next video card will be a Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9700 (or 9800) Pro Ultimate. Completely fanless heatsink as stock for the video card.

I think that my airflow should be able to handle it just fine. When I combine that with a quieter heatsink and AS Ceramique for my P4 I'll really be rocking.

Unfortunately that day is probably more like next summer. (Though maybe Yule if I'm lucky.)

Which model Zalman was that?

I'm jealous of your 2.4C rig! What are your other temps, room temp and ambient case temp?

I can manage maybe a 33 degree idle but only if my XP1700+ is at stock speed. Not a chance at 2.1 Ghz! My XP1700+ won't reach 2.4 ghz but at 2.267 ghz idle exceed 60 degrees and was rising. This is due the 2.15 Vcore that was needed and the fact that my heatsink was not designed to disipate that kind of heat. A Tbred B at 2.15 volt and 2.267 ghz probably needs to dissipate 85+ watts!

Your temps have me believing that a 2.4C rig is definitely the way to go for a home theater/part-time gaming machine. Quiet and plenty powerful for a casual gamer like me.

Lets say less overnight downlaod hehe. Depends of the night some night I dont even hear it and sometimes I just cant sleep so I getup and shut it down.
I must say I like the way your setuping your system. Pretty High performance with low noise thats sweet.
I saw the passive HS on that radeon its a MONSTER.
Anyway good luck in your quest for silence.
I didnt exactly chose that road with the 5900 hehe.

pIII_Man · Aug 9, 2003

pII 400 @ 556mhz (138mhz bus)...28c idle 31c load...2.6v (stock is 2.05)

Using a 40 or 50 (i forget) cfm ys tech 92mm fan...and a heatsink from a pIII 700...w/ some AS3...am planning on making some heatsinks for the cache to see if i can boot windows at 600mhz...

Does anyone know if cache cooling can actually help these cpu's acheive higher clocks?

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

Solstice · Aug 9, 2003

Zalman CNPS7000.
room temp=75-77f
Case temp around 30c-31c

This weekend I plan on playing a bit to see if I can get past 3ghz, My CPU is a 6-03 Costa Rica and they aren't suppose to clock as high as previous batches.

You summarized exactly what I use this rig for. Games/Home Theater, I can't go away without telling you to get the ASUS P4C800-E deluxe Mobo, I love it.

But that Zalman did drop my temps bigtime from stock. AND ITS QUITE

Nights_L · Aug 9, 2003

Athlon XP2000+, Palomino Core, auto voltage, FSB133Mhz, Volcano 8's heatsink, with a more quite fan@5000rpm
Currently (summer time)
With CPU halt command detection enable in Bios: 40C idle, ~60C full loaded
With CPU half command detection disabled in Bios: ~55C idle, ~70C full loaded

at Winter time, Temperature gets significantly lower

phsstpok · Aug 9, 2003

Oh yeah, the CNPS7000, of course.

I didn't think you were getting that kind of performance from one of the "flower" coolers.

I've been waiting to hear a personal account of the CNPS7000 ever since I saw Yoshi use one on TechTV's, "Screen Savers". I'm glad it works so well.

Do you have the Cu version or the AlCu one?

I'm not familiar with P4 heatsink mounts. Does that CNPS7000 seem securely mounted? It's pretty hefty (if you have the all copper version).

Solstice · Aug 11, 2003

I have the AlCu. It mounts securly enough, although its only two screws that hold it into place. The brackets for the AMD CPU looks a bit tough to install but I havent done it.

Got it OCed to 3.0 this weekend running less than 105f under full load

phsstpok · Aug 11, 2003

If memory serves, there's a 200 gram difference in weight. The CU model being heavier.

Does it fit Athlon processors? I thought it was just P4 and the upcoming Athlon 64.

Solstice · Aug 11, 2003

I believe it does fit Athlon, but I will check the package when I get home to be sure. I do know it come with an entire mounting kit for AMD's
