MSI Motherboard, Cpu, Heatsink/Fan

Hello everyone !!
Im not to familiar with these forum help lines so Bear with me.
I have a "MSI K9NBPM2-FID" Mobo and I am looking into a Cpu "AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Brisbane 2.8GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core black edition Processor Model ADO5400DSWOF". This does not come with a Fan/Heatsink, so I am looking into a "Thermaltake / Blue Orb 2 / Socket 775/939/940 CPU Cooling Fan for Intel and AMD Processors".
Will these combonation work together or is modification in my near future?
I read thru the MSI Cpu support listing for my Mobo, and I seen the 5400 in there, but that was not a Black Version. I have also seen listing were my Mobo only accepts Cpu's up to 5200+ ! I'm Kinda lost with that !
That leads me to another question, If yall dont mind. That list tells me what is compatiable with my Mobo. I need to consider the Cpu's with "SINCE 5.8" in the result row right ?
Hope this is Clear enough !!!
I was wandering around these forums and it seems you people know your STUFF! Hope this is a good question. Just a modify after my post.

I would send my info to MSI but my Rig is in the shop right now. I dont know all the info that MSI wants. I can only fill 1/3 of the info requirements.If your wondering why my Rig is in the shop it is because I had a hard drive fail while under RAID 0. It Sucks
My pics, music, game files, are in the process of extracting, but it is SLOW !! it has been 42 days now and I am shoping around for new and exciting stuff to kill my time. Seems like jail time, not that I have been there before.
I watch all sorts of web sites for great and amazing deals. Tiger has a 800 Watt for 69 Bones. WOW !!! With choice of Color..

MEGA 865 CPU heatsink FAN FAILURE.

Got my Mega 865 less than six months ago, and the CPU heatsink fan is making annoying loud grinding noises.
Anyone know where I can get an adequate replacement FAST online in the USA? (I need it in
The fan is the 60mm x 60mm x 13mm near the AGP slot, Delta Electronics model AFB0612VHC and the specs are DC12V 0.36A 28cfm 3pin motherboard connector.
Is it worth contacting MSI Support? Can they FedEx me a fast replacement overnight? (If it's under warranty, great, if not, fine I'll pay for it.)
Otherwise, the MEGA865 is great, I liked it a lot.
Config:
ATI Radeon 9600 (fanless)
Hauppauge PVR250MCE
3.2 ghz Northwood
250 GB Maxtor
OEM NEC 2500A DVD RW black.
and
Windows Media Center 2005 (rocks)
Thanks for any help you can give.

I got the MEGA from newegg.
I'd rather MSI just mailed me a fan, not a whole heatsink. Bubble wrap one and drop it in a FedEx overnight envelop.
Even if it's under warranty, I'd totally pay for a new one if I could get it fast.
We're talking about a $15 item (+whatever FedEx overnight costs). I don't really care if I have to buy one myself. Unfortunately I looked on the web, and no one seems to sell this exact fan anywhere.
Wow I'm impressed. I phoned MSI USA support, was on hold for
Great job MSI support. I'm astonished it was this easy.

Which CPU heatsink/fan for Z77A-GD65? - if 90 C at 100% load is too high?

With stock Intel heat sink and keeping the CPU (i7 3770) load at 100% for hours, the CPU temp hovers around 89-90 C. My case has 2 x 120 mm fans in the front and 2 x 120 mm fans on the back of the case, . With the room temperature of 20-22 C, the typical idle CPU Temp is 30-32 C.
Two questions please.
1) Is keeping the CPU temperature at 90 C all day "safe"?
2) What after market heat-sink would would recommend for this MB, if the temperature should be dropped few degrees.
My observation for Z77A-GD65: There isn't much real-estate around the CPU for a large coolers and furthermore, my case cannot fit one of those tall cooler heat sinks with 120 mm fan on the fins.
I don't overclock, but run multiple CPU intensive simulations.
i7 3770,
Z77A-D65 MB,
Corsair 750TX PSU,
Corsair Veangeance LP 4 x 8GB RAM ( CML16GX3M2A1600C10)
using internal INTEL graphics and I have 5 x 1TB HDD's of various brand.

UPDATE:
Thank you again for the good suggestions.
I installed Arctic Freezer 13 CO cooler and the temp dropped about 25 C from 90C to 65C with 100% CPU load (my simulation program) for nearly 10 hours.
Tested on Prime95 => 71 C max after 10 hours. Before the upgrade, I dared not run prime95 because the temperature would quickly shoot up above 90C.
IntelBurnTest 2.54 Max Stress => 80 C max
The 92mm cooler fan clears barely above the low profile RAM. It may not fit on high profile RAM( those with high heat spread) Max RPM is about 2100. It's very quiet. I cannot tell apart the cooler fan noise over the case fan noise. After trying to get optimal fan speed using MB BIOS and MSI Control Center, I decided to turn off smart fan control and leave the fan speed at 100%. This "CO: Continuous Operation" fan is supposed to last a long time anyway.

List of Compatible CPU Cooling Fans with my MSI X48C Motherboard

Just wondering if there is a list of compatible CPU Cooling Fans/Heatsinks that go with the MSI X48C MOBO. I am using a Q9550. Ones that I am considering:
Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU Cooler
Zalman 9700[NT]
Thermaltake SpinQ CPU Cooler
Also, if you know of any others that would be good, feel free to add your opinion!
Thanks for the help!

I am personally partial to Thermalright products for cpu cooling. I use nothing else. Copper ones tend to be much heavier than non-copper ones and can actually over time put undue stress on the board around the cpu socket. Besides, I havent seen enough of a difference in temps when using copper versus non-copper to warrant about getting a copper one. Heres one from thermalright I like.....
http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/cpu/si-128_se/product_cpu_cooler_si128se.html
For the fan, get a Thermaltake silent cat 120. Killer combo.

Heatsink fan connected to motherboard??

I own a K7N420 motherboard. On this motherboard, I have a Globalwin WBK38 heatsink+fan which cools an Athlon XP 1600+ processor. This cooling system has a fan which rotates at 6800 rpm and has a power usage of about 3.5W. At present, it is connected directly to the power supply via the supplied converter cable that changes the 3-pin plug to the normal power supply adapters. Is it dangerous to connect it directly to the motherboard as I want to monitor its speed?

i would not thats a bit to much for a mother board header,some high speed fans have a seperate signal wire that can be plugged to the board to still give the signal,it might be possible to mod yours to do the same

Heatsink fan recommendation pls!!!

hello All
first of all, i want to say thank u for all of you who have reply my thread.
now, i need another more help from u guys about the heatsink fan.
i'm planning to get a new heatsink fan, but still wondering, wat will be really good for me, to use with arctic silver 3? how many degree will it reduce?
my rig:
MSI Neo2-S (bios ver1.0)
P4 2.4C (not overclocked)
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro (not o'ced)
1x512 MB Ram Kingston

Hi vashx --
The Cooler Master Aero 4 gets an A+ from this happy owner.
See it at:
http://phamcomputer.safeshopper.com/36/727.htm?938
I own one, and can tell you it works great. It keeps the CPU temperature right around 40 deg C (+/- 5 deg C), consistently.
Prior to using it, the stock Intel HSF was installed. I saw temperatures around 50 deg C quite often.
Note: there are two versions of the Aero 4: a "lite" version, which uses Aluminum as the heatsink material, and a regular version, which uses Copper as the heatsink material. I own the regular version.
And yes - there are other HSF units out there, made by other companies, which work great too.
Why did I choose the Aero 4? Because of the unique way the fan was mounted on the heatsink. It really does work.
Oh, and I did decide to use Arctic Silver III (and I meticulously followed their application directions.) Unfortunately, I don't have any comparison figures to reference, so I'm unsure how much it helps. I am assuming, though, it did not hurt to use it

How to remove cpu/heatsink from Mega PC 651?

I'm looking for detailed instructions on how to remove the cpu/heatsink from a MSI Mega PC 651. So far the manual has been useless and the Quick install guide isn't even about the MEGA PC series. Can anyone supply detailed step-by-step instructions on how to remove the cpu/heatsink safely?
Lewis

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

MSI motherboard and FX processor

Hello all.
I have plans to buy the MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) to build a secondary rig with an AMD FX-8350. It would be at stock speeds, stock cooler, not overclocking.
The question that molests me is: Would I get enough stability with that motherboard? The website says the CPU is compatible, but, I have doubts about the thermal capacity of these 760G motherboards. Because my FX-6300 seems to be running on the edge with a similar motherboard (other model, worse, less TDP limit). The cause of such borderline might be the lack of heatsink in the VRMs, that being heated up, might cause throttling on the processor.
If I go with this motherboard, I want to be sure I will have a stable and normal experience. I will not overclock or do anything expensive with that rig, only to use it for video encoding and other expensive tasks while stock. And unfortunately I am not able to spend more money that the cost of the said MSI motherboard.
As always, any tip or opinion will help me alot. Thanks.

I have requested info from MSI directly, not to worry. Shall post it for the user community when I get it.
Thanks very much...yes, looking at the supported cpu list doesn't answer that question, unfortunately, and the information is nowhere to be found in the specs for the Gaming 970.... My current G46-970a mboard has been excellent for my FX-6300 6-core running at 4.5GHz (on air, stock voltage), with the G46's TDP of 125W max--because my cpu TDPs @95W. It's been stable and solid as a rock for the ~ couple of years I've owned it.
However, I was thinking that if the 970-Gaming is not just a superficial revamp of the G46-970a--with different audio components and a different color scheme--it surely might do better than the G46-970a's 125W TDP, which would mean I could use it with an FX-83xx without any fear of it overloading the board. You are certainly correct in discerning that this is what I want to know... I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks very much, again, and will look forward to your post when they decide to release this information...! If the Gaming 970 is also a 125W TDP board there is just no point in looking at it since I will already own a mboard that is ~95% identical. Hopefully they'll have addressed this situation with the "gaming" motherboard, as the moniker implies overclocking--otherwise, they'd be better to just offer a "G46B", or a "G47"...I should think.

Heatsinks/Fans affecting speed

I'm about to add an Athlon 2400+ cpu (retail box with heatsink/fan included) to my K7T Turbo2 motherboard. I won't be overclocking or anything, just running normally.
My question is, will using a different heatsink/fan, like a Thermaltake Volcano 10, for example, increase my performance at all?
I'd like to use the heatsink/fan included in the retail package to save money, but would using a better heatsink/fan make it run any faster?

Hi,
Nope, as Wonk said....it will run just as fast

NF750-G55 - Need help choosing aftermarket CPU heatsink

I am running a Phenom II 965 CPU and the factory heatsink/fan is no good. The fan is too loud. I noticed that the northbridge heatsink on this motherboard is REALLY close to the CPU heatsink bracket. Does anyone know which aftermarket CPU cooler will fit and will keep my X4 965 CPU cooler than the stock heatsink?
Thanks all.

I use Noctua NH-C12P, its 6 heatpipes hover right above the mosfet heatsink nicely (the long one behind the ports). It blows air down to the motherboard, cooling some components, give airflow to the memory slots, and the fins directs air towards the northbridge. It helps cool down the northbridge as well (which is normally very hot). I also put Thermalright HR-05/IFX on the northbridge for extra cooling effect. The thermalright is a bit tight fit, but it works. The fan that came with the Noctua is totally silent no audible sound at all. Everything cool and quiet. I used Scythe Katana before this and it already worked well but it did not help northbridge cooling.
Some problem with it is that it partially covers the memory slots close to the processor, and it requires specific mounting.

Stock heatsink+fan question

Hello,
I have an FX55 CPU which was originally installed with the stock HSF.
I needed to remove the HSF and now i want to put it back.The question is:can I use a cooling compound (arctic silver etc) with the stock HSF or must I use the same solid product which was originally on the HSF?

I am not by my system at the moment (using the crap lump they call a pc at work )
But as I remember, no, the release lever is right alongside the ZIF, which is totally obscured by the stock heatsink/fan, which fits snugly into the plastic 'frame' which the ZIF is in.
Care is the main item here, and possible, run the system just before you remove it, and the processor will be hot and the pad softer, I did mine cold and was lucky it didn't leave a leg behind
Was all my fault anyway, replaced my 350 W power supply with a 500 W cheapo from Ebuyer (£14-99), the powersupply looked good, but fried itself (nice smell of burning plastic) and took my motherboard with it (but luckily my chip, memory, graphics and other attached bits survived ! )

Media Live CPU Heatsink Fix

As everyone knows that has a Media Live unit the cpu heatsink leaves much to be desired!
It is a very difficult install and does not do the job as far as I'm concerned. Even using
Arctic Silver 5 my idle temps with this heat sink were around 48C and the way the thing
is configured it was blowing hot air on the memory! What I did was to buy a
Cooler Master RR-CCH-P912-GP low profile cpu cooler. It's still too tall right out of the
package but what I did was to remove the fan that comes on it and replace it with the
fan that was in the original heat sink. I have it blowing air out of the case not down into
it like the original heatsink had. Now I'm idling at aroung 31C and playing a dvd or a game
or whatever I haven't seen it go over 48C and the memory is just warm to the touch not
hot.

I'm using a 5200+ cpu and A-Data memory DDR2 800 the sticks with the heat sinks. My idle temps with the MSI cooler were around 48C and the if you touched the heat sinks on the memory it was scary hot. I'm of the opinion that if I can get the cpu to idle at about 31C and under full load never get above 48C which was the idle temp with the MSI cooler, then I'm adding life to the cpu and the memory cause the memory is now just warm to the touch and as we all know, cooler is better and heat kills! I have a gaming rig with a MSI mobo using the 790i chipset and a Q6600 OC'd to 4.3GHz, two ATI 4850 vid cards in CrossFire and insanely overclocked (playing Crysis with settings full out on dual 22" monitors) and 4 gigs of Corsair Dominator ram. I'm cooling that with the big external Koolance water cooling system so that should prove how paranoid I am about heat! By the way, I highly recommend Koolance for water cooling. Even the smaller internal system that they have works great.

Sorry, I cannot agree on this.
The heatsink installs just fine. The point is that you shouldn't try to see what you are doing. Just use your fingers and you have it installed within the minute. I don't see why so many people struggle to get this installed ...
Second: it does it's job well enough for me. It ceels the cpu and doesn't make much noise doing that. Wha tmore would I want?

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!

CPU Smart Fan Not working

Hi! I am using the Z97 Gaming 7 with a H55 Corsair Water Cooler. Somehow when I tried to use the smart fan control it doesnt work on my system. The fan keeps spinning at 100% although I the temperature is at 30+ Celcius only. The smart setting is the fan is only supposed to spin at about 20% speed when it's 30+ Celcius. However the System Fan Smart Control seems to be working as the speed actually follows the temperature of the system. Why is this happening? Is there something wrong with the motherboard or the cpu smart fan control.

Sorry let me rephrase my question as I was typing half asleep last night .
Actually in the MSI Command Center, the smart fan control was setup in a way that the fan should be spinning at 20 to 30% of the max speed while the CPU temperature is at 30+ Celcius but in my case the fan was still spinning at 100%. In the setting the fan should only spin at 100% if only the CPU reach 80 Celcius but in my case it's already reaching max speed. I tried to manually control the speed of the fan thru the Command Center using the manual mode and it fails as well the speed is still at 100%. As for the System Fans, I am able to control the speed thru the smart fan control whereby the speed of the fans will adjust accordingly to the temperature of the system. Looking forward to getting some feedback here. Thanks.

Questions About MSI Z87-GD65 System fan Currents!

Hi,
I have a few questions on the MSI Z87-GD65 System Fan currents. I want to hook up 2-4 120mm case fans together through a PWM Female to 4 x PWM Male Computer Case Fan Splitter and connect it to one of the SYSfans on the Motherboard, but I am unsure about the current limit on the SYSfan1-3 on the motherboard. Also I was unsure if I needed to have a 4-pin connector or 3-pin connector. On the online manual it says that for Sysfans1-3
Pin #1 is Ground
Pin #2 Is Speed Control
Pin #3 is Sense
And Pin #4 is NC
What does NC mean? Do I need a 3 pin or 4 pin connector?
Thank You For any assistance!

NC isn't used.
The sys fans you only need to get a 3 wire fan for the cpu fans a 4 wire fan would be indicated.
The amp rating is 1amp I believe.
If you want to really control and monitor your fans, it is best to use an outside fan controller. I use the Corsair Link in one of my computers which I like, but is overkill.
