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?

Which CPU Cooler did you use for your CPU?

Hi guys, just wondering, what CPU Cooler did you use in your mega 865?
Did you use the Intel or the MSI CPU cooler?
Which do you think is better?
I used the MSI CPU Cooler, Which I think is better cause it has a copper base which can transfer heat faster. Also the heatsink must have been designed for the case too.

^
The Mega 865 came with an additional "extra page" on how to install the Intel CPU Heat Sink into the 865, so it could be that msi thought that intel's solution was better? The manual of course had how to install the msi heat sink, so rather than printing the manual again, they provided an extra information sheet.

"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.

Which cpu-cooler/heatsink for my new box?

hi
after 3 days of reading hardware-review sites i have decided to order the following things:
Antec Sonata Case
MSI K8T-Neo FI2R mobo
Athlon64 3000+ boxed
MSI GeforceFX 5900XT-VTD128
I'm stuck on selecting the right CPU & northbridge cooler.
I'd like to buy a Zalman CNPS7000 AlCu CPU cooler & the Zalman ZM-NB47J for passive northbridge cooling but i'm not sure if there's enough room on the motherboard for those two to fit.
does anyone here have any expierence with this cooler-combo?
if you have any other cooling suggestions please let me know!

I have that zalman and the NB cooler too, the MSI NB cooler is very much like the NB cooler from Zalman tho.
The 7000 rocks but right now I'm waiting for an Alpha 8150 which will be replacing my Zalman, not because it's not good.. it's probably just as good as that Alpha or even better but I just want to change for the change's sake.
Here's a small list for you to consider.
Alpha Pal 8150
Zalman 7000 cu/alu
Thermalright 748u
Swiftech, coming ouit this month
These are the heavy weights for the A64 CPUs.. I think they're all so close to each other it's just a matter of taste really.
Good luck,
Simon

Motherboard or CPU is dead......which one?

I have today tried to turn my computer on............its dead. I've changed ALL the components expect the CPU. How can i tell which is the fault the motherboard or CPU. I have two computers at home but the other one doesn't use the same CPU. Nothing works fans, lights drives......nothing, can the motherboard still power up without a working CPU?
Motherboard =MSI K8N Neo Platinum Nforce3
CPU =AMD Athlon 64 3200
Hope you can help, i need to send one of them back under warranty, but which one.

I was just wondering if you checked the fuse in either the PC power lead or the extension/4 socket adapter?
If you used the original power lead then the new PSU would fail too...same with the adapter.
I have seen 4 way multi adapter fuses go often if the total load exceeds the rating of the adapter, and with PCs needing more and more power, this is getting far more common recently.
Just a thought.

You wouldn't believe how many ways i tried still no joy, its now go back...........i await the doctors verdic

Hi CaptainNemo,
Welcome to the HP forum.
I understand that want to change the motherboard and the processor. The links you provided were a very nice touch but are in a foreign language. I tried to use Google translate, but it did not work well at all. If you can locate a maintenance and service manual, ( usually listed under the user guide link) it will list any supported replacement parts. Here is the HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide, please note on page 26, item 13 is a list of motherboards or system boards and item 14 is the processors.

Cpu has 4 usb's on the rear. 2 are 2.0 and 2 are 3.0. how can you tell which one is which

Just bought new HP PAV p7 1380t. It has four USB's in the rear. According to specs
2 are 2.0 and 2 are 3.0 How do you tell which one is which?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here are the specs and configurable options for your HP Pavilion p7-1380t Desktop Computer. Here are the specs for it's H-Joshua-H61-uATX (Joshua) motherboard. According to the motherboard specs, this system has 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back as shown below;
(#1) USB 2.0 x 4
Typically, USB 3.0 port are blue and have a stylized "SS" symbol near by. There does appear to be a USB 3.0 header on the motherboard, which could be used for front or rear ports.

I'm debating between a Macbook Air or a Macbook Pro which one would you suggest?

I'm debating between a Macbook Air (MC965LL/A) or a Macbook Pro (MD313LL/A) which one would you suggest?
I will be using this for college and taking it to class with me. My biggest fear is that I may be too hard on the Air and damage it, but I like that it is lighter and looks cooler. But which one do you believe is more logical and provides the best computer quality overall?

This is an objective comparison,
Meanwhile, we start from the price of their basic models, considering of course that could get discounts as a student in the Education Store. Required about 100 € more to buy an Air with the same screen size of this Pro and already, in some cases, may be enough to make your own choice.
Assuming a score to score, we could say: Pro 1 - 0 Air
Until recently, the beloved laptop for school purposes was the white MacBook.Orphaned "bianchino", now out of the list for some time now Apple, the Mac that is most on the economic front is approaching the Air 11 "(900 € on the edu store). Air 13 "display offers a native that could be called HiRes, identical resolution to that of Pro 15" base:
Air 11 "(16:9) 1366 x 768 = 1,049,088 pixels
Pro 13 "(16:10 format) 1280 x 800 = 1,024,000 pixels
Air 13 "(16:10 format) 1440 x 900 = 1,296,000 pixels
The comparison on the screens is not to be taken seriously. After all, is what we will see during every second of computer work.
And so the challenge back in a tie: Pro 1 - Air 1
For size and weight comparison is merciless. The Pro is a portable slim, well built and, after all, not too heavy. However, this aspect of the Air is unsurpassed. He created a new category of laptops is so small wonder. The weight is also almost halved with 1.3 kg against 2Kg. For those who are always on the go is a godsend for the university and also the difference in the shoulder is remarkable.
We update our score: Pro 1 - Air 2
The battery is offered in both cases with a duration of 7 hours. 2-Air Pro 3. Another aspect that is rather in favor of a tie on the graphics: Both models use the Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM condivisa.Pro 3 - Air 4.
In academia, it may not feel quite the need for a Firewire port, but the fact remains that the Air does not have it.
I guess that's the case to score another point: Pro 4 - 5 Air
I scored a little more than necessary to have a complete line of Air, but for the purposes of this comparison we are interested in the value obtained from the Pro 13 'Air base and 13 "base. Both processors are dual core and, as you can see, the little guy gets along very well though with a slower clock. There is also a crucial aspect to consider: these data refer to the computing power but do not take into account the incredible speed-bump-up by SSD. Translated into monetary terms means that if the Pro 13 "is marginally faster when the CPU is under stress (such as video encoding) Air 13" is significantly more responsive in every area. By now you will present the advantages of SSD, as we talk about it constantly, and be assured that we are talking about really obvious differences in the everyday. The advantages obtained clearly outweigh the disadvantage resulting from a delay of a few seconds more in exporting an iMovie or a few seconds to compress a full-bodied zip file (which then increased the write speed scale in part). To assign a score in this area I find then a little 'in difficulty. From the viewpoint of the CPU Pro 13 "is slightly faster but we are sure you can assign an advantage when then every single operation, to start since, requires up to 8 times (the value is clearly approximate) of the time ' Air 11 "? I have no doubt to say that overall performance on the front of the Pro 13 "basis, as configured, is beaten hands down Air 13" base.
I say then: Pro 4 - Air 6 (but wait ... is not over)
Do you know where the above discussion decade? The MacBook Pro is much more expandable: add just € 77 and takes a 60GB OCZ Agility SATA3 that mounts in an instant. At that point, the bill draws on the opposite reactivity with SSD and the difference of the processor, though not so obvious, back to bite. It is also possible to realize different combinations. We have spoken of a disk of only 60GB in effect, but in the Pro can also be used as an adapter to enter the optibay the HDD of 320GB in place of the original SuperDrive. In this way we obtain the speed of the solid disc for the operating system and applications and the increased capacity of a traditional hard drive for archiving. Also, the RAM, which base is 4GB on both, on the Pro can be easily increased to 8GB. To want to do things right we should say that the added cost rises well and lose the initial assumption for which we have assigned a point to Pro for the greater economy.Furthermore, the comparison is based, only the basic models, however, the counter remains a valuable expandability, both now and in the future: if after some time you should decide to improve the performance of your Mac, is with the Aircan only change SSD (mSATA but those are expensive), while the Pro will have more flexibility.
u point for the Pro: Pro 5 - 6 Air
With the 2011 version of the MacBook Air has resumed the backlit keyboard, but still (and will) not have an Ethernet port, Superdrive and the infrared receiver. The absence of the reader / writer is a point against him, this is indisputable
equal footing Pro 6 - Air 6. As Apple moves fast towards a future where this will no longer be necessary (see installation and operating system software via the web) can still be useful today. It must be said that with less than 30 € you take an external drive efficiently (review) but this still requires to carry around another "element". On a personal level each of us will be evaluated differently this absence, there are those who do not tolerate it and who has already got used to (in extreme cases supported by the Remote Disk feature) but it is still a lack of perspective in a single complete computer , at least at present.
For this reason we say: Pro 7 - 6 Air
pull the money (or better scores ) won the pro of a single point.
i hope it can help you ti choose

Different Temperatures - which one is right?

I have started trying Core Temp as a replacement to CoreCenter. The thing is Core Temp gives temperatures 2-3C below what CoreCenter shows, which I dont't mind too much. Anyway, when I run Stress CPU the temp deference increases, as shown here.
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k276/seven_of_nine13/temps.jpg
Any ideas why this 7C difference (sometimes more) happens and which one is right? System temperature is showing right as I have other temp probes floating about. Spec below, except I now have a FX-55 (ClawHammer). Got it free :D

Quote from: qyx on 28-November-06, 15:10:10
I don't understand how core temps could drop 5 degrees c. while temp of surrounding area remains the same. Same loads, volts etc. as before I changed case fans (4x80 mm now and 2x120 before) and case (aluminium now, steel before).
That's what I'm wondering. I know my temps have been higher with the FX-55, but still doesn't explain how the core can be cooler. As for overall temps I'm planing on lapping the CPU and heatsink over the Christmas holidays (exams have to be done first ), as I think the heat spreader on the CPU is a little higher around the edges.

Msi x48c new cpu cooler

I currently got an Cooler Master oem cooler which sucks...
I am getting 80 degrees Celsius sometimes with my 3.4 ghz oc of my q6600 G0
problem is im looking for a small and good cooler cause of the motherboard circu pipe cooling arround my cpu socket as well as i got a NZXT alpha case with a fan in the panel.
I have been looking at these: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/intelcooling/cnps9500a-led
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/cooling_products/ocz_vendetta_cpu_cooler
do they fit?, which one cools the best?
any one knows a better cooler that isn't more than 140mm high(motherboard to panel) and fits on this motherboard?

Quote from: kourosh on 01-June-09, 21:33:52
aaron that is an overkill for q6600
You really want to underkill? If you're dishing out for cooling; it may as well be the best. Many times have I kept purchasing coolers trying to get better performance, when I should of spent more money the first time and had the best performance in the first place.

Cpu cooler reccomendations

hi, i have a cpu cooler, i do have a picture of it but not sure hot to upload on here for you all to see, but want to know if i can and know how to upload the image if anyone can tell me if it is suitable for my cpu now and for my future cpu which i will be getting...
atm i'm using an intel core2duo at stock speed .....1.86ghz
but the cpu i will be getting in the near future is an intel core2quad q6600 go stepping @ 2.4ghz...
if you need me to upload the image of the cooler then can you please give me some explainitary procedures on how to do so, i dont have the packaging for the cooler as a friend gave it to me as he has no use for it....
thank you for reading and i hope that i can get some usefull advice...
i hope this works... this is the image to he cooler mentioned about.

ok will do that for sure.... just one more question thats come to my attention...
i've just been reading the manual for my mainboard and i've noticed that i my bios and according to the manual there is a feature on there called "Intel Robson".
Now i'm not to sure if it is speciefied for my mainboard or not but been looking at my bios on my pc and it's not listed in my bios screen..... can you tell me what i should do and if it assures me any improvements with my system please...Thank You.

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.

Cpu cooler control

Just finished assembling barton 2500 based system using another brand mobo which got me thinking Man, this is one very quiet system!
How can I mod a k7t266pro2 xp1700 based system with a variable speed CPU cooler fan?
Any ideas
Thanks in advance

... or you can hook up the existing cpu fan to one of such devices:

Very loud Mac mini CPU cooler

I have the newest Mac mini (1,5 GHz) running under Tiger 10.4.5.
Sometimes even when i work in MS Office or browsing Internet (the CPU usage is very low) the CPU cooler system begin to blow very load for a few minutes.
What is the key of this event?

The mini's cooling fan is directly linked to the load the processor is under, thus the higher the load and the longer it lasts the more the fan will spin up.
Easiest way to check what's causing the fan to activate is to open Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilties). This is like the Windows Task manager in that it lists every process the system runs, and can also show overall CPU load. When the load goes high, look at the list of processes to find which one(s) show highest demand. More than likely it's something on a web page you're browsing (Flash animations for example).
If you want to keep a general eye on how hard your system is being worked, but don't want the distraction (and CPU load!) of Activity Monitor, then download a copy of MenuMeters (available at www.versiontracker.com) and install that. Once installed, find the menu meters preference pane and enable all the meters - they'll appear in the menu bar to the left of the clock and will show you network activity, memory use, paging activity, disk read/writes and CPU load. This is a useful at-a-glance tool for troubleshooting and general monitoring.
