[865PE/G Neo2 Series] Zalman CPU cooler doesn't fit, Northbridge Sink remove?

Hi,
I have a problem fitting a Zalman (CNPS7000B-Cu) cpu cooler - the MSI northbridge sink is too high and too close to the cpu.
Can I replace the NB sink with one with a lower profile?
( Incidently, I'm not overclocking, although I do use this machine as an audio machine and it does get quite hot.
- If I can replace - any recommendations?
- If not - any recommendations for a reasonably priced and quiet cooler that will fit (i.e with a narrow profile).

I had the same problem on my 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum Edition mobo. Zalman's website indicated that the CNPS7000a-AlCu fits on this board, but it doesn't. The diagonally placed northbridge heatsink is in the way. I originally thought I'd bend a few of the Zalman's fins out of the way, but then I decided if I could do something with the northbridge heatsink. I removed the northbridge heatsink and removed the 2 fins that were in the the way of the Zalman. I wanted to repalce the modded northbridge heatsink using some AS5 but the stock thermal goo (some pink stuff) was impossible to get off, even with alcohol or acetone. So I smeared some AS5 on anyway and just mooshed the heatsink back on with the pink junk and AS5.
I noticed that the northbridge gets really hot at stock speeds (200 FSB). I'm planning on overclocking my 2.4C to 3GHz (250 FSB) today, so I hope the northbridge doesn't burn up. Gonna aim a fan at it and hope for the best.
Hope the "bend 2 fins off the northbridge heatsink mod" helps all you guys that want to put Zalman's on your CPU's.

Error with new CPU cooler

Hello, I just put a Vantec Aeroflow AMD into my MSI K7T 266 pro2-u mboard and upno startup I get an error relating to unabling to detect CPU spinning. However it is spinning and temp was 34C. I have noticed that the three colours of wires are "yello, black and red" whereas on defauly CPU cooler it was " Blue, Black red." Is it just a case of incompatibility as I now have disabled CPU fan detection. Thanks.

Had the same problem with same m/b and cooler. Long story short,purchased a seperate T.M.D fan rated at 5600rpm part no PD1270155B-2F and fitted to cooler and bios detected it at 5600rpm. The 5600 rpm fan was slightly noiser than the fan fitted to the vantec cooler I bought and it was gold coloured not silver. Whats also strange was cpu temp dropped from 41C to 37.5C. This raises a question that maybe the coolers are packaged with 4300rpm fans instead of 5600rpm ,the specs say 5600rpm fan but who knows. Have bought 3 vantec coolers and all three have no fan detection. Bought 3 5600rpm fans and all have fan detection. Hand held tacho rated the silver ones about 4250rpm and the gold ones at 5560rpm. Figure this one out ?(

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

Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinium

"I have an HP Pavillion computer & want 2 put in a quiet CPU cooler. Which one fits that's quietest?

I'm looking to do some home audio recording and need a quiet fan in the computer. The guys at Best Buy had me buy a Corsair A50, but the fitting wasn't correct for the Pavillion (not sure if 'fitting' is the correct word - I'm talking about where the CPU cooler sits). In addition, the A50 was too tall for the Pavillion's box. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, but this is a peer-to-peer user support forum. HP maintains no official presence on the forum. There is no way to trace your stolen computer. Please file a claim with your insurance agent or company for the loss. They will require a copy of the police report.
The reason your OS is invalid is because it is tied to the motherboard in your stolen computer. The HP OEM Windows OS requires information in HP motherboard to cause the OS to activate. This is the way the OEM licenses works. The only proper way to correct this issue is to purchase a new copy of Windows.

CPU cooler that works with K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard

I have read that some say the Zalman interferes on this board with the 1, and 2 ram slots, is this true? I'm using the 3500 Winchester CPU.
Does someone have a part number if the Zalman is; a) the best, and b) clears properly.
Also I see everyone talking about Artic Silver 5. What does the"5" mean? I have Artic Silver that I have been using for about 2 years, but there iis no designation "5". Do I need the new stuff?
Thanks

I don’t know muck about artic silver, but I have a comment on the cpu-cooler question.
I recently bought a K8N SLI Platinum, which has an almost identical layout as the Neo4 Platinum. I use a Termalright XP 120 cooler which according to there webpage does not fit on this board. But I didn’t had much problem at all! It is tight with the first ram slot thaw, and with a memory just a few millimetres higher than mine it wouldn’t fit (I use TwinMOS PC3200).
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s a similar situation with the Zalman coolers, but I really like to recommend the XP120 (or even XP80) anyway. It keeps my cpu (althorn 3000+) at almost the same temp as the sounding system, during normal use. And since you are free to put any fan you like, you have a very good start making your system really quiet.

CPU cooler

Hello,
In order to overclock more my system I'm searching a great CPU cooler.
In my other pc ( Athlon XP with nforce2) I have a thermaltake Volcano 7+ that goes very well.
So I'm am tempted to buy Thermaltake spark 6+ cooler ( with the plus of an easy integration with the hardcano front panel of my Xaser III lanfire case).
But I 'm opened at other solutions so I ask you an advice.
Which is the better cooler (non idraulic or TEC) for you?
I have seen also same ZALMAN interesting cooler in a shop but I can 't find a site in which are shown detailed specs. Do you know where I can find more infos?
Thanks

The only drawback is you will need to remove the MB to install the x-bracket and you have to go to the Web site for instructions as none come with it. You will not regret the Thermalright I promise.
how well does it fit on the motherboard? u havent/didnt have any problems with the hsf touching the psu or anything? im seriously thinkin of gettin a 947U but last i looked inside my case there didnt seem to be that much free space between the stock intel cooler and my psu.. i think theres about 2.5 - 2.75 cm there atm.
and after its iinstalled in which direction is the orientation of the fins? vertically or horizontally?
man i want to get this cooler

CPU Cooler- which one ???

Hi,
i have been planning on OCing my CPU and i am just wondering what CPU Cooler to go for as i have seen a fair few that seem pretty good like the Zalman 7000B CU, TT Vensus 12, or perhaps one of the swiftech HSF's the only problem is that i dont really want to change the baseplate as i hear it is very hard to get off, so ideally i would like a HSF that will fit into my exisitng baseplate and also cool my CPU better than the stock HSF. Also my exisiting HSF had a thermal pad that has now melted between it and the CPU would i need to remove the compund off the CPU before installing the new HSF or could i use the same or apply some AS5 to top it up.
I have also been considering a water cooling kit for my CPU and possibly my GPU, how easy are these to fit? i dont want to make any modifications to the MOBO in anyway such as dirlling holes, can anyone recommed a kit that is easy to install?

MSI K8N Neo Platinum - CPU Cooler?

Hi there, this is my first post to the forum and hope that someone can help
Bascially I've just purchased a MSI K8N Neo Platinum mobo to use with an AMD 64 2800.
I'm wondering if I should use the stock CPU cooler or look to purchasing a cooler such as a Zalman? I want to keep the computer as quiet as possible.
I've recently read that it would be better to use the Cool and Quiet option with the stock CPU cooler instead?

Chris,
If you don't mind a used one, there are probably about a hundred thousand available ones from people in these forums who has upgraded their heatsinks, and that's about everyone
The problem is, we dont want to give them up. We bought the retail package with fan not because of the free heatsink/fan, but because of the 3 year warranty that you only get with said combo. To invoke the warranty, we'd have to return everything, including the heatsink/fan, so we hang on to it and let it collect dust.
So, for an aftermarket fan. If you don't plan to overclock, ever, the thermaltake silent boost K8 will do, although it is nowhere NEAR the 21dB that tt claims. They are known for shall we say, exaggerated claims. But it's certainly quieter than the stock HSF, and it's available everywhere.
Note that the "silent boost k8" is different from the "silent boost". The latter is for socket 462 I think.

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

My MSI KT3-ULTRA2 doesn't work with my CPU cooler!!

My MSI KT3-ULTRA2 doesn't work with my CPU cooler!!
I've got an MSI KT3-ULTRA2 mainbord, and I have a NEOLEC VENEZIA TB Cooler. But when I attach my NEOLEC cooler and I start the machine, the machine shuts down within a couple of seconds, and I get nothing to see on my screen. The weird thing is when I turn the PC on, the cooler starts rotating so it can't be broke, but then the pc shuts down i a couple of secs. So pleezze anybody help me!!
The weird thing is that I also have a coolermaster cooler, and that one works fine. But the problem is that this coolermaster is designed for AMD XP 1900+, and I ahve an AMD XP 2200+ that's why I bought the Neolec Venezia TB cooler.
Grtzz
skeleton

one easy thing to watch for... see if the heatsink or fan is in contact with any part of the motherboard, like... if it is too big and touches something that normally wouldn't be in contact with a fan or heatsink. If so, it could be shorting it.

H8-1214 cpu cooler upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade the cpu from fx-6100 to fx-8150 but i'm having a heck of a time finding a cpu cooler that will fit the angelica motherboard. what most people don't understand is that the angelica motherboard utilizes am3+ socket with intel cpu cooler mount. does anyone know or recommend a cpu cooler that will handle 125W cpu, fit the small space, not cause issues with mounting? I can already that tower coolers will not fit or work, due to most using push pins instead of screws because the cpu mount is screw in and most towers are tall.

Hi,
If you search the forum you should find a post with a similar desire. It's interesting to note that HP Partsurfer only shows one heat sink and it's rated for 95 watts.

Cpu cooler on k9n2 sli

i want to change my CPU cooler. i have found two choice: Coolermaster V8 or Noctua NH-U12P SE2. I'm not sure if the cooler will touch or not the metal fin on the motherboard . Anyone?

You'll hopefully enjoy it for a long time. The touching is probably no problem, a little fan vibration might pass on to the MSI roller-coaster of a cooler, that't all. I would think the Noctua is symmetrical, otherwise turning it 180 deg might help.

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 Cooling Fan

I have a L645D-s4056. It has been shutting down without warning.  After doing all the heat things, checking the fan, regluing the heat sink, replacing the battery, blowing it out and throughly cleaning it, testing the power cord, resoldering the power connections. We determined the Cpu is getting hot, like the fan was not cooling it properly. However, the computer even when cool and idoling was still shutting down.   I had a diagonotics done on the computer at a local shop. They said the cpu and the mother board test good.   Therefore, leading them to tell me the problem would be with the cpu cooling fan.   I'm now understanding that there is a main fan which is vented out of the side, and the cpu itself has its own fan.    Can anyone verify that this is true?
I also was able to keep it on long enough today to, to use the Toshiba recovery wizard and completely restore it back to factory settings, so all window issues with cooling have now been cleared also.
If this is the case, where is the best place to purchase a cpu fan, and if anyone would be able to supply what the part number might be. I am trying to find a cost, and I am not the person that knows how to take the computer completely apart, so wondering if anyone knows the info.
2nd does anyone have pictures, websites etc as I have seen in this forum previously to provide help with replacing .. and where it is etc.   The person fixing it is knowledgeable but as someone that isn't im trying to provie the most info as I can.
Thank you for your help, info and insight.
