CPU Cooler for 870A-G54

Ok I need a CPU cooler that won't block a RAM slot. I have an Arctic Cooler 7 currently but it is so wide and short that it blocks my first RAM slot.
I am not oc'ing but I don't think the stock cooler that came with my Phenom II X2 is sufficient with the other 2 cores unlocked.
Anyone currently using something that won't block that slot?
Thanks in advance!

A inch off: wlahdone, much dust gathered in front of the processor fan, on the graphics card, tells me you can improve on the air flow. Two ideas:
- A stronger exhaust fan.
- An air filter of some kind for the intake fan, or turn it off completely.
- A tower processor fan that directs dust towards the exhaust fan.
Yes there is some dust on the HAWK That has accumulated since i ve bought it, high quality ~1 year dust
I usually clean the video card on the other area Don t want to disturb something with static as it works.
For already 2 months i ve replaced the case with a Nexus Clodius and indeed i may put the front fan to the mobo and set it at a lower speed (as the included controler sets them both in same time) ,to create that required air pressure.
And the case alows me to put one on the top of the case as well.I usually use a Cooler Master TX2 for the CPU and that one does send the air to the exhaust one.
It s a little off topic and i m sorry ,but Fredrik provoked me

PSU and CPU cooler for Mega PC 651

I got my hands on a 2nd hand msi Mega PC 651 for free because the case does not contain any CPU cooler and PSU.
Where can I bye these components?

Hi Lewis,
I presume you are refering to this guide?
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/manual/note/quick_installation.pdf
I don't think there are any better instructions, other than what you might get with the CPU. Here's some breif comments that may or may not help though:
Get an anti static strap and attach it to earth, (ie I leave my main PC plugged in and attach to it's chassis, when working on another PC)
Your CPU may be attached to the heatsink with thermal paste, if it is be very careful
On my 865 the CPU heatsink is screwed to the motherboard, it may also be held on with levers. Disconnect it as appropriate
Once the heatsink is loose gently remove it, you may need to lift one side first or it may lift the whole CPU out
Once the heatsink is out lift the CPU lever, the CPU will easily lift out
you may wish to remove the old thermal paste from the CPU and heatsink, I use ArctiClean 1+2 check your CPU supplier for options
put the CPU straight into an antistatic bag
Only when you are finished playing with your PC insides should you take off the antistatic strap
If you are still unhappy with these instructions try checking out the Intel or AMD website for help
Hope this helps
cheers

What are you planning to do with it?
If you're not overclocking, then the standard cooler that comes with retail boxed CPU will be just fine.
i bought this CPU without retail box, so without cooler ,and i do want to overclock it in the future.

Quietest CPU Cooler for K8N Neo 2 Platinum Motherboard?

I am just now getting around to concentrating on making my system as quiet as possible (without water cooling).
Searching the forum and the net, I found lot of favorable comments about the Zalman 7700 cooler, but their website indicates it will not fit on the K8N Neo2 Platinum. Has anyone actually tried to see it if fits or not? Also if it does fit, will it work with the MSI stock backplate as I do not want to have to remove the backplate.
Any suggestions for other CPU coolers that are quiet that are known to fit on this mb?
Can people who have had experiences getting CPU coolers to work with this MB please post your experiences here? If there are sufficent replies to make this thread useful, I will add it to the sticky section.
Thanks.

Which CPU Cooler for AM2 board

Hi!
Right now i am just running with the Box cooler from sempron 3400+ on my K9N-platinium board.
I hope soon to get the AM2 Mountingkit for my Noctua but it can still take 3-4 weeks, so i am looking for another cooler untill then.
I know it is different from country to country which cooler are available, but which Cooler do you use?

Quote from: Stick on 24-August-06, 19:08:23
ok, you didn't mention the OC-ing part in your post. like always, i would suggest zalman if you're after something cool and quiet
My Bad ;-)
Right now my Sempron gets 1.45V and running 2400mhz...in prime stress test 2004 it gets up to 42-43C.
I think around 1.4-1.25V probably would be enough, but the Atrix 500W psu that a have in the system right now is not that stable.
Anyway, i'm hoping to hit 2600MHZ with the right cooling.
The Cpu temperature is taken from Core center !!

CPU cooler for HP Pavilion m9340f

My CPU fan is kaput. Already replaced fan once. Wanted to replace whole unit. Nothing fits. Old heatsink is screw-in. Can't seem to find replacement unit with screw-in heatsink and 4 prong fan plug. I've searched Fry's, Tiger direct. Now using unit that doesn't fit and is bad for long-term survival of cpu. Any suggestions? Motherboard is ASUS IPIBL-LB, called Benicia by HP. Replacement heatsinks for socket 775 seem to all be punch-in units.

I AM INTERESSTED ABOUT THERMALRIGHT XP 120, SOME USERS SAY IT FITS AND SOME SAYS NOT.
THANKS

I have the Swiftech MCX6400 on my new A643500+. I put one of those cool looking Coolermaster Dual Storm Fans here on it. Looks really cool and performs very well so far. But a little on the loud side.

Help me find a cpu cooler please.

Hi everyone,
Im having some difficulty finding a decent cpu cooler for my box,
atm im using the boxed cooler from AMD modded with a 80mm papst fan,
it runs pretty quite, but the temps aren't that good.
Ive tried adding some more fans in the kabinnet, but then it makes more noise, which is unpractical.
There are so many brands and types of cpu coolers, and since im really not following with the hardware developent anymore
im really at lost with this, so i hope some of you gurus can help me out.
It should be pretty simple
sys specs:
Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinium
cpu: A64 3500+

Core i7 cpu cooler

I would like to buy a cpu cooler for my core i7. Which ones are good in the price range $30-$50. I don't want to spend a lot on cpu cooler. I dont intend to overclock beyond 3.5Ghz.

The regular Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is $33 right now at Newegg, with a $10 rebate. That along with the ACK-I7361 through-board 1366 mount will cost less (after rebate) than the Dark Knight version.
I have three HDT-S1283 HSFs in use right now. One on a Q6600, one on an E2160, and the last is on an i7 920 I installed last night. For LGA 775, it doesn't matter what direction the HSF is mounted, but for the wider 1366 it does. Pay attention to the orientation of your CPU socket. The long edge of the HDT-S1283's base is perpendicular to the fins. If you mount it so the fins are parallel to the socket's widest dimension, you'll end up not covering the sides of the CPU cap. On the Eclipse SLI, you'll be mounting it so it blows to the left or right of the socket (right being down over the card area), not out the back over the I/O plate area.

Cpu cooler with DKA790GX Platinum

Hello, planing on buying DKA790GX Platinum with a Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition, my question is about what cpu cooler fits the best on this board? Would a TRUE (Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme) fit or will it cover 2 or more memory slots? Or maybe someone can recommend a great cpu cooler for this motherboard. Thanks.
// Gras

This is what I use.
http://tinyurl.com/amb8k5
It's gotten good reviews
The thing points towards the back of the case (which i like cause I have a fan back there blowing air OUT the case) so without the fan it will not cover the memory. With the fan on it will barely be over the first memory. Though this isn't a problem unless you have some memory with some tall heat sink attached. I was able to move the memory from slots 3-4 to slots 1-2 without removing the fan and just sliding is up a little. Does use the same annoying (to me) wire fan holders like the Thermalright. Best to attach the thing before you put the motherboard in the case, Could be a pain in the a** otherwise depending on your case, (though I was able to do it with some pain and suffering).
Oh yes..i'm using the same CPU you plan to buy.

CPU Cooler Replacement

My stock CPU cooler for an AMD 64 4400 Dual core CPU is making some unwelcome noises. Is there
a decent 939 cooler available which can be installed without removing the motherboard?

Here is a replacement unit that works well.

Cooler for AMD 2800+ AthloneXP (K72NG-ILSR)

Hi,
I'm looking for recommends for a GOOD CPU cooler for my K7N2G-ILSR system with an AMD 2800+ AthloneXP CPU!
I've tried the Artic Cooling Silent Copper - it sucked! Although it was recommended for the 2800+
Also,
this might be a silly question but is the CPU fan supposed to blow the air towards the heat sink or away from it? Does it make a difference?
Thanks in advance!

currently using this

870A-G54 - Cool'n Quiet not working

Hi folks,
I've just got an 870A-G54 ( http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2057 ) and have a Athlon II x3 450 in there. I've tried to get Cool'n Quiet working but it's simply not throttling the CPU. Both AMD Overdrive and windows system-panel show the speed to be 3.2Ghz on all three cores despite the PC idling.
- The power-management is set to minimal.
- Cool'n Quiet is "enabled" in the Bios - also tried "auto" to no avail.
- I've installed the drivers from the website. Whenever I try to install them again I get a message saying they're "already installed". I can't seem to find a way to uninstall them (nothing in add/remove panel). I've even uninstalled all my other AMD processor drivers/utilities (i.e. Overdrive), but it /still/ says I have the drivers installed.
Using Windows XP SP3 32 bit.
Note: I have not, overclocked, nor do I intend to.
Any suggestions on how to remove the driver and re-install it? Or, what else may be wrong?
Thanks.

Ok, fresh install of XP SP3 on a separate partition. Absolutely nothing changed from the base install (apart from the mouse-buttons swapped). I try and install the Cooln'Quiet drivers from the MSI website (bottom of - http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2057 ).
When I try and install it, it gives an error saying:
"The machine does not have a supported AMD Athlon 64 Processor".
This happened with this partition of XP too, but I couldn't replicate it so thought maybe it was my memory or I was going crazy. CPU is still reporting 3.2Ghz.
The download page states: "• AMD Athlon™ 64/Sempron™/Turion™ 64/Opteron™ systems". My processor is an "Athlon II". Looking at the date and the version number, the drivers are very out-dated. The other version I aquired from who-knows-where is XP 1.3.2 for XP and almost a year later. The MSI page has 1.2.2.0. The Athlon II's date from 2009 onwards according to wikipedia.
So where do I get current Cooln'Quiet drivers?
Also, as mentioned I've tried both "Optimized" defaults and "fail-safe" defaults in the BIOS with CoolnQuiet enabled. No change.
