K9A2 CF and Mofset cooler

Hello, is it possible to install thermalright HR-09 mofset cooler to this board?
if no, what can I install?
http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/mosfet/product_mosfet_cooler_hr09.htm?art=MTQyMywxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==

I have a thread on this over at Xtremesystems Forums - I measured the HR-09 and I don't think it will fit. There are two mounting holes in my MB but I could not find any waterblocks or coolers (yet). I have used the Microcool Mosfet sinks on mine - build is almost complete (leak tested on Sunday).
PS - I have run my Phenom with no coolers on mosfets to bench test and did not have any problems but I did not measure temps as it was out of case.

K9A2 CF Chipset and Mosfet cooling

Decided to start my own thread to track my attempt to improve the chipset and mosfet cooling on my MB.
Can't post pics here, so see XS thread @ http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=172579
Summary:
1: will use Microcool Mosfet Heatsinks on the mosfets (close to rear exhaust 120mm fan)
2: replace NB (MSI) heatsink with Zalman NB47 (big blue) (80mm fan blowing over it)
3: replace SB (MSI) heatsink with Zalman NB32 (small gold) (bottom mounted radiator with 2x120mm fans blows up onto it).
PS - I was amazed at how small the 790X and SB600 chips are (under big but flimsy heatsinks) and the contact (thermal pads) were not that good.
Did also consider using my (old) Polarflo TT Chipset waterblock on NB (which will fit with a bit of modding as it is so close to PCIe slot) but then tubing between CPU-NB-GPU would be really tight.
Any ideas would be most welcome as I am building it up this week/weekend.

Attached to plasic? Won't do much good.
Don't you understand that if manufacturers wanted cooling that they would supply it with a heat-conducting surface.....
Mostfets, Rams etc....they don't have such....so sticking a heatsink to it does nothing.
Plastic, Ceramic etc are heat isolating materials....and you try to cool that?

Cpu and chipset cooling,recommendations?

Trying to figure out what the best HS is for a 3400 on the K8N and chipset cooler. Stock HS running about 35-41 sys temp and 40-51 cpu (Idle/load). sitting at 41 sys and 45cpu right now, weird.... Its all in a coolermaster "stacker?" case. Good airflow (1x120, 2x80 front and 1x80 side intake, 1x120, 3x80 out...) Going to add the "crossblower" fan as soon as I can find it in stock. Had thoughht about the coolermaster hyper 6 but its huge, would have to tie it off to the psu plate or something to keep it from shifting I think
I was looking at the ZALMAN CNPS7000A-AlCu
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=35-118-108&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE
I like the idea of quiet but summer is coming up and temps rise.... I also was thinking of running a duct from an 80 on the back or side to the HS fan as in intake and I dont think you can do it with the zalman. Any ideas? Not looking for a 92mm tornado setup, have to please the wife...
the chipset cooler gets me, have never bought one. Would like to be able to get one with a fan and plug into the board. Any thoughts on which one will work best?

Check some of the signatures here on the nVidia Athlon64 section of the Forum. That will give you a good idea of the Heatsink/fan combinations that are used!
I think the stock HSF is O.K., and I personally use the Zalman 7000AlCu....but there are other good ones!
P.S. while playing around yesterday....I opened the case up and put an additional fan on the exposed areas and it definitely dropped my temps about 8 deg. I'm thinking of adding a side case fan to help ventilation. I've got the Lian-Li PC-65 black aluminum case.

Neo4 Plat CPU and VGA cooling

Just wanted to get a few opinions on good and quiet cooling for my CPU and Vid card.
Neo4 Plat board; AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU
GeForce 6800 Ultra
I've read a lot of reviews and it seems that Zalman is the quietest way to go.
VF700-AlCu for Vid card
and
CNPS7000-AlCu for CPU
Is anyone using this setup, can you post your opinions?
Other recommendations?
Thanks.

Agree with that GPU cooler
I used to have a Arctic silencer, but the fan is only balanced @100% (I tested 3), therfore to noisy 4 my taste. I put the Zalman on the NBfan connector, and the NB fan on a handy 5v connector that came with the Zalman.
This way corecenter manages the fan speed, which is handy cus the Zalman also blows over the HTT hub hsf 8)
Best cooler 4 ur board is the thermalright XP90, according to this list:
http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/p4sum.asp
Get a Vantec Stealth or Panaflo fan to mount on it. @stock u should be able to keep it round 1000rpm.

Problem with motherboard and cpu cooler

First of all , hello.
Let me present my current pc.
Mainboard - MSI 880GM-E41
CPu - Amd phenom x2 560 black - unlocked to quad
Ram - 4 gb kingmax DDR 3
Video - Gainward GTS 450 512 DDR 5
Hdd - Western Digital 640 GB
Power suply - Sirtech 400 W
Now the problem.I bought a Scythe Katana 3 cooler because i couldnt stand the noise from AMD stock cooler anymore.
The cooler RPM in idle/load / full load is 2800 RPM (maximum !) Shoudnt the mainboard set the cooler's rotation to match the processor current usage ? My cooler stand in maximum rotations every single time.
Note that my temperatures are excelent.
I took a look in Bios and could find much.
H/W Monitor
Cooler - 4 pins selected
Smart fan target - disabled selected.Guess this is the automatic option.I dont wanna set it to manual in order to give some values.
Amd cool and quiet - enabled (tried it with disabled too , same deal)
C1E support - enabled.
Would updating my bios to lasted available solve this problem ? I wanted to do that but i wonder if updating the bios would interfere with my unlock of the processor's cores.
Thanks you very much.

Yes , it is
I dont actualy have an "enabled" option....just disabled or some values.
I heard from a friend that :
Smart Fan Target - the critical temperature from which the fan starts to grow in rotations
Cpu Min.Fan Speed - the desired rotations per minute in idle
Is this correct ?
Im thinking about
First - 45
Second - dont know....i have to test with different values.

K9A2 Platinum and 4 Memory Modules

Hey gang, the saga continues.
BIOS 1.2
With Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 RC and 4x DDR2-800 OCZ modules (see my signature) my system will POST but not boot properly (even in safe mode!) at either 3-4-4-15-2T-2.4V or at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V. It gets almost to the point where it wants to bring up the vista logo after loading all the drivers however then the screen resets to "no signal" and the system reboots from POST.
I removed 2 of the memory modules, leaving 2 in the slots closest to the CPU. At 3-4-4-15-2T-2.4V (which is what the memory is rated for) the ATI kernel driver gets a page fault during load, blue screen, memory dump. However at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V the system is stable. I expected 2 memory modules to work at the rated speed of the memory. I expected 4 memory modules to work at looser timings. I'll try 5-5-5-18-2T-2.4V with 4 modules just to see.
I'm getting 8GB/s throughput in Sandra XII at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V.
With BIOS P.0D I was getting 9.5GB/s at 5-5-5-18-2T-2.3V with the mushkin XP8500.
Maybe P.0D doesn't have the erratum in it, and tighter memory controller timings.
Oh and the Sandra disk benchmark test posted a RAID0 score of 140.5 MB/s throughput. WD360JD was 55 MB/s. I need to run a better benchmark though. I bought EVEREST Personal Ultimate, maybe it'll have something more useful in it. I can tell you the EVEREST benchmarks for memory performance on my system absolutely suck. They're pinning it around midrange in all the tests. :< I cannot run HDTach on this system because it doesn't recognize me as an Administrator (although I am one).
I have my final water cooling parts arriving on Wednesday - an inline temperature sensor which will hang right off the egress on the video card stack, for accurate CPU + video card heat levels on the liquid for the fan control.
At idle this system keeps the CPU at 99F temp, HD at 105F (I removed the front case fan, it would probably be cooler with it in there, but slightly noisier). Memory therefore is probably around 102F. I haven't gotten to stress testing yet because of the stability issues.
I also am trying Catalyst 8.1 beta to see if CrossFireX will work.
** At least the system is POSTing BOOTing **

AaronYuri: Using Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 RC, no fixes come up through Windows Update, I assume I have everything... point me to something that wouldn't be in the service pack RC?
Quad: So you think with an X2 CPU this wouldn't be a problem, but the Phenom is inferior?
Russ: I'm using fixed memory voltage as specified in the test. 2.4V and 2.1V. Both of which should have worked. Since I can do DDR2-800 2x 3-4-4-15-1T-2.4V stable (running Prime95 now...), I would expect to be able to do DDR2-533 5-5-5-18-2T-2.1V. Also this board originally posted with the memory at DDR2-1066 5-7-7-20-2T-2.4V so I know the memory isn't the issue.
One additional comment I would like to add to this discussion is that with all 4 memory modules loaded I can install the Vista operating system. It is only after I reboot, after the initial install, that it won't complete the boot cycle any longer. So the install boot works (which is probably a limited kernel?) but the real thing won't work.
As for DDR2-400 I might give it a try but I have to say if that's the only way I could do 4gb memory, I wouldn't do it.
Hello, I have the SAME sort of problems except with the K9A Platinum
Here is the fix/update they are talking about
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777/en-us
I have applied it and did not work for me. You are getting a BSOD likely. Boot to 2gb, go to System Settings under Control Panel. Click Advanced Setting on the left. Then click Settings button under Startup and recovery. UN-check automatically restart. You may then see the BSOD when you try booting with 4gb again.
I a using latest bios on my MSIK9A and I still cannot boot Windows to 4gb.
I have read thru all 20 pages here:
http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/showpost.aspx?postid=1292561&siteid=17&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=10
Even though I do not run 64bit, this still seems to be a very common problem with running 4gb on 32bit and 64bit. It is not just a Windows problem. I have read Linux has exhibited this as well.
I even did a clean install of Vista on a spare drive last night with only 2gb installed. I then updated all drivers in order and then applied MS Hotfix I linked to above. I shutdown, put in all 4gb and BAM!! same exact BSOD. I have tried setting timings to many different settings. I have tried all "suggested fixes" to no avail. All 4gb of Memory all passes memtest86 v1.7 scans. Ran 17 passes overnight and all passed.

Solved: Hp8510W video failure and better cooling

My reconditioned Win 7 HP8510W notebook has been doing yeoman duty since the day MS stopped supporting XP. The fan did seem noisy but I was warned of this (via an online review) before I bought this machine so I didn't think it odd.
Suddenly, about a week ago, the display started going bizerk. Restart and/or reboot seemed to fix it a couple times but a day later it was hard broke. The machine booted OK but the display had a lot of jibberish and also defaulted to 800x600. Swapping/replacing memory cards changed nothing so I diagnosed the problem as a bad graphics card and ordered a replacement.
I installed the replacement (same type) graphics card according to instructions in the excellent HP 8510W/P maintenance and service manual, which I found online. This included completely removing the old thermal paste and applying fresh thermal paste where the hear sink meets the chips. I also removed dust clumps at the air-in end of the heat exchanger and blew it out (mouth only) from the outlet end. On power-up with the new video card, the machine ran perfectly. I also noticed the fan now is much quieter, running at a slower speed; this indicates the chips are now running cooler. Nothing about this job was hard given a small (pin-vice style) phillips screwdriver and the supplies. The greatest hazard was dropping a tiny screw or static discharge, which is not a problem in this humidity.
Aparently, the new thermal paste and/or removing the dust bunnies improved cooling to the extent the fan runs noticibly quieter now. In the past, my wife often heard the fan and thought it was rain on the roof. Now, I can barely hear it just 18 inches away.
Also, I think it's possible the original graphics card isn't really bad. After removal, I noticed at least two tiny holes in the plastic insulator sheet on the underside of that video card. I wasn't curious enough to reinstall the old card (with those holes taped over) but maybe the old video card is really OK except sharp connections on the motherboard, below, eventually shorted to the graphics board. I think this (black tape) would have been worth a try before ordering a new card but I didn't notice the holes until after the job was done.
I'm a happy camper with this easy fix that made the machine better than before. Hope this helps someone else.

CPU and NB cooling queries...

Hello to all...
I'm wondering if anyone has removed the MSI lightshow heatsink and fan combo from the northbridge chip and put on something else, say like the Zalman NB coolers? I was thinking of the ZM-NB47J cooler but as the mobo has those slots in the board for the hooks rather then holes for punch throughs, i wasn't sure if anyone had got it to work.
i was thinking that the crossbar from the stock heatsink and fan might be able to work with the Zalman, but wanted to check with other users first.
As for CPU coolers, i just changed from my Antec Sonata case to a Overture and now my Zalman 6500 cpu heatsink and fan won't work as the fan mounts to the PCI rail and there's not enough height in the case for that. I figure i'll try a 7000 series...but there seem to be mixed answers on whether or not it will fit properly as the socket isn't centered within the mounting brackets. Any help there would be appriciated.
Your thoughts, comments, ideas are appriciated.
Thanks.
G.

Yeah, that combo works well for me. I haven't tried many other cooling options, so there may be better options out there. There's a new video card heatsink similar to the Zalman with two heatpipes and a Swiftech CPU heatsink with heatpipes. If I had to do it over again, I'd give those a try.
If your goal is low noise (like mine), you can't beat the undisputed champion of low-noise CPU heatsinks - the beautiful Heatlane Zen. I used this heatsink in another PC and it performs quite well. With a case that moves enough air, the Heatlane Zen is worth a try.

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

875P NEO and NorthBridge Cooling

Does anybody tried to use 875P with some good noiseless cooler on the NorthBridge ? (ex: Zalman ZM-NB47J)
At this moment with the 1.6 bios and with the original cooler the Motherboard temperature is around 53C which is pretty much. (the rpm of te fan is around 6000...)
Please give me some good advice, or share your experiences!
(Please do not come up with water cooling because I will not do that!)
Pszabo

Hey, I just bought a passive ZANB47J for my msi 875p chipset, cause the chipset fan got noisy and it didn't work ok, the system runs fine without the fan, but since i bought the zalman, i have to test it, so i did a clip similar to msi heatsink clip (the board don't have holes for the nb47j), but my question is.............
if you see the chipset, it has a square at it's center and some pins?(dots?) all over it. The bottom of the msi heatsink has a pad that covers some of those pins?(dots?), can i use my zalman nb47j without that pad, is there a problem if those pins?(dots?) touches the sarface of the heatsink? I think that there is not a problem, but if anyone can share an opinion, i would be very grateful

I Have NX8600GT and its standart cooler isnt enough for OC. And i wanna buy a new VGA Cooler for it. Is NV Silencer R.5 compitable with it ? Or is there any vga cooler compitable with NX8600GT?
Thanks..

Each VGA Cooler providers has own compatibility list, so go and check it.

7970 lightning and water cooling

I have been slowly moving into water cooling, and want to make the plung to have a water cooled GPU. I own a 7970 lightning OC and have been quite happy with it. while looking into block it seems i am late to the game, EK made a 7970 FC block for the lightning but i cannot find it for sale anywhere as EK has EoL the block. is there another FC block that is compatible or a hybrid solution? I know the 7970 has a custom board thats why i thought i would ask here. i would like to keep using my 7970 lightning and not move to another GPU

EK is (or was) the only manufacturer offering a full cover block for the 7970 Lightning as far as I know. Sadly you are out of luck.

K9A2 Crossfire and Ram question

I have a K9A2 platinum with an AMD phenom 9850BE rig running crossfire.
The specs are...
K9A2 Platinum
Phenom 9850 Black
Two Asus 3870 Top (these are in the first and 3rd PCIE slots down, the manual said these were the x16)
4GB G.Skill ddr2 1066 (These are in the 3rd and 4th slot, only running at 800)
Seagate Barracuda 7200 250GB Sata 3
Vista 64 with SP1 and DX 10.
1) Am I running the cards in the correct slots for crossfire? I'm currently populating the the pxe1 and pxe4 slots. (I might be butchering the actual names of those slots.)
2) Catalyst 8.5 says that crossfire is enabled. 3dmark vantage score was 87xx, is this low?
- After installing SP1 and DX 10.1 3dmark vantage is all messed up. Displays funky colors.
3) I tried using the auto ram timings and increasing the voltage to achieve 1066 from 800. When I did this my timings went from 5-5-5-15 to 5-5-7-20, or something along these lines. Is this normal? Is there a way to manually adjust this memory to achieve the correct speed and timings?
4) 3dmark06 gave a score of 13xxx with crossfire. I disabled crossfire from the catalyst control panel and re-ran the test and hit 10xxx. Both of these scores seem low, can anyone verify.
Thanks for your help and input.

Ok, I fixed the ram and did a little research so I was able to perform the manual timings.
Under the Cell menu I changed the DRAM Timing Mode from auto to both and set the correct timings for my memory, 5-5-5-15.
I made sure the voltage was upped to 2.1 as per some suggestions on NewEgg but memory speed was still around 850ish. I had to change the FSB/Memory ratio from auto to the last setting, something like 2:2.33? Once I did this I saw the memory speed up to the 1066 that I was looking for.
If I now increase the FSB the memory overclocks even further, this makes sense because it's a ratio. What am I missing? I want to be able to clock my phenom up to around 2.7-2.8 and have the memory @ 1066. How can I make the memory run at 1066 without utilizing the FSB/Mem ratio.
Thanks for your help and getting me this far!

Controlling CPU cooling fan and other cooling fans

I have not saw any answers to controlling cooling fans speed especially the CPU fan.
My new mid tower, HP ENVY 700 200z
AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon HD Graphics
Motherboard: MSI 2AE0 1.0 w/UEFI: AMI 80.48 01/15/2014 8 gb RAM / Windows 8.1 (x64) (build 9600) / 1 TB Hard drive
I've looked in the UFEI/BIOS settings and can find no way to speed CPU fan up, the fan usually runs around 950 RPM and temperature avg is 50C the coolest I've saw is 47C/ fan 875rpm and sometimes peaks at 78C fan will ramp up to 1150 rpm. Motherboard, HD, video card all never hit 40c.
I consider this to warm would like to keep it at 30c-40c range. I still have my 1st mid tower Gateway and it still runs 15 years old, along with my ASUS mid tower 8 years and I was always able to control fan speeds and keep everything in the 30c-40c range, don't think the new ENVY CPU or motherboard CPU socket will take these very warm temps very well.
Anyone have any idea, or know a way to speed this CPU fan up? I have NO PROBLEM with fan noise and I am even considering buying another CPU fan that I can control the speed of, I'm not using this ENVY other than a business computer, no games period nor trying to overclock.
This is the 1st tower or laptop I've owned that has no user control over so much of its functions nor did not come with a User's Manual. It was like buying a brand new car and knowing what any switch, button or any indicator lamp was for. Did not have any trouble with W. 8.1 already had a Windows Phone and 2 laptops with W 8.1

Hello TDS777,
I understand you are looking to adjust the fan speed on your HP ENVY 700-200z CTO Desktop PC. Unfortunately, there is no way of doing what you are trying to do on your computer. I would suggest you do a Google search for "computer cooling systems" and you will find various ways of implementing a solution that suits you.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
