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?

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.

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 ?(

Installing a New CPU Cooler

Is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan compatible with the Dell XPS 435 desktop mother board.

If it has a four-pin connector like the XPS 8500, it should accept a standard cooling solution.
I installed a Cooler Master Vortex in my XPS 8500. It has worked very well.

IOH temps higher after new CPU cooler on my X58 Pro

Hi
I have a X58 Pro with 12GB OCZ Platinum 1333 RAM + i7 920 + Antec EA500W. The stock cooler was making too much noise so I installed a new Thermaltake ISG 300 cooler. My IOH temps jumped from 57 to 82C on idle. I have an Antec Solo case which should have good airflow. Nothing else changed ....
thanks
-D

I have seen other boards with similar big coolers (albeit from other companies like Zalman) but the IOH wasnt this hot. I will definitely try the Spotcool and see if that works. My goal was to simply get rid of the loud noise of the stock cooler.
Quote from: Henry on 01-December-09, 11:35:59
Looking at other manufacturers X58 boards those heat sinks don't appear to be much different so how is it that MSI is the only one you need to feel that way. You make a modification then you need to think about the other things that mod may have an effect on. There are other coolers that would have done the job without affecting designed airflow by much if any. If you change the designed airflow characteristics then you must compensate for that. In that case an Antec Spotcool would do it.

Any other storages?
Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<<? {With power cord removed}
What is written on the screen when you have to wait 2 minutes?
Have you tried to disconnect all storages{hdd, optical} and any USB devices?
I already made couple of CMOS clear in order to get my OC :D
And i have a SATA DVD Burner.
What is written on the screen is "Detecting AHCI on port 0" then it finds an IDE hdd ?! which is the RAID device. Then it writes "Detecting AHCI on port 1" which is the DVD burner.
I made couple of checks and found out that when disconnecting the RAID array the boot sequence is fast.
So the problem is with this "auto detection". is there way to disable this, cause the RAID controller is allready doing some detection on its own...
Thanks,

When disconnecting the storage devices i found

CPU Cooler Warning

I'm just putting together a box with KT4AV. As soon as I power up all diagnostic LED's report OK, but within a couple of seconds as soon as I get a display, it tells me the CPU Fan is not working, which it is, then the machine powers down with the two tone warning beep.
I've tried resetting CMOS with battery in and out.
Any ideas why it might not be detecting CPU Fan?

If its not the cooler and hsf, are you sure its not the processor itself?
Otherwise I'd say yeah its probably a faulty board. I know that feeling Lately every board ive gotten (and no joke either) has actually been faulty, sans this kt4av i'm waiting to actually test and see. I think I am going to snag a new cpu cooler since I cant stand the big hunk of copper I got. I feel like im going to crush a processor every time I stick it on. That and the fan doesnt fit right so I need a new one. Best of luck on this whole scenario. When you take the board back and swap it for another, try taking your proc and hsf and a stick of mem with you, and have them test it there to make sure its all working That way if you get home and something doesnt work you can possibly rule out grounding issues or the psu, even though it doesnt seem your psu is the issue

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.....

For the fan, get a Thermaltake silent cat 120. Killer combo.

Aftermarket CPU cooler to fit P6N Diamond and my new build

Hi, after my motherboard finally quit a couple weeks ago, I am starting to build my new system. I just purchased a P6N Diamond motherboard and I'll be picking up an E6700 Core 2 Duo and I already know that I am going to overclock slightly.
With the heat pipes this board has, I'm wondering if and if so, what aftermarket CPU cooler will fit on this board. I'm not going for a major overclock, but I would like to see 3GHz per core or slightly higher.
Also, Does anyone know what speed of RAM I should get to bump this processor up to 3GHz? On my last setup, I used DDR 434 and ran it at speed to get the processor up from 3.0C to 3.24GHz and 3.4E to 3.67GHz (upgraded at one point). I am still not sure on what RAM I should use yet for compatibility issues, but I guess I need to figure out the speed first.
I also just ordered my video card today as well. I went with a EVGA eGeforce 8800GTX Superclocked card. Later on down the road when the price comes down, I'll pick up another to run SLI. From what I read on MSI's website, SLI (with the P6N Plat) doesn't support SLI in Vista... Is this true with the board, or will it be a driver/BIOS issue that can be fixed later?
The computer this is replacing is my HTPC. I used and will again use this thing for just about everything. I regularly watch movies, record/watch TV, listen to music, play games, etc. I have it hooked up to a 40" flat panel LCD HDTV and have loved running and HTPC since I bought the TV in December. Hopefully this next system lives up to what I'm hoping it will be.

The GeminII cooler may not fit. But the Tuniq is also too heavy IMO.
I would pick this; it has good clearance and is one of the best coolers on the market. Except for this obviously.
But it's all down to personal preference.
I really like the Thermalright SI-128 SE that you recommended. My last Thermalright was able to cool my 3.4E @ 3.7GHz processor down when my old Zalman could not. Do you know if this will fit? I'm not sure the larger Thermalright will fit in my case...
Another option I was thinking about is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118019

MSI K8N Neo 4 CPU cooler is slowing down ?!

Hi everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND ALL THE BEST!!!
I have brand new MSI K8N Neo 4 mobo and something strange is going on. CPU cooler on Venice 3000+ s939 in BIOS is rotating on 2200 RPM, but when i start Win XP, Core center and Everest are showing only 1000 RPM. Cool'n'quiet is disabled in bios.
Is there some setting that I did'nt see or what?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Pufta.

Hi!
Thanks Hodgie_ns for your fast reply, but it was not set up in Core Center for Cool'n'quit to slow down, it was on user setting to maximum.
Problem resolved by connecting the CPU cooler on the other connector for SYS FAN for little time, then I connected back to the CPU FAN connector. Since then, it is working on 3000 RPM all the time. Funny?! Wird?! Bug?!
Thanks and go for it!

Upgraded from MSI K9N Diamond to K9N2 Diamond-need CPU cooler

OKAY, I got my new mobo...got my new RAM :Corsair with alum/heatsinks. and therin lies the problem. I had a Thermaltake Ruby Orb CPU cooler but with the new taller RAM , this cooler wont sit down on the CPU-fins hit the RAM heatsinks. I need a quick reply so I can get this ordered. My CPU is an A64 X2 6400+ Black . RAM is : Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX G (Tall aluminum heatsinks). Graphics card : BFG 9800 GT 1gb single width card. Any help s appreciated.
Thanks , jwill58

A good processor HSF is more important than fins on the memory sticks. I normally suggest Thermalright U-120. If it fits I don't know.
NOCTUA NH-U12P is another idea.
Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283V.
Its basically the same thing as those two but only costs around $50. Got it on my Phenom II now! Check my review thread with the pictures of it on my K9N2 SLI Plat.

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.

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.

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

MSI Z68MA-ED55 B3 + Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler Compatibility

Guys, Anyone please advise if Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler is compatible to Z68MA-ED55 motherboard. What i exactly mean is that will it fit without me having to move the RAM to other slots? Thanks guys!

Depends on the RAM. If you intend to get flashy RAM modules that have heatspreaders (useless for all practical purposes) as high as mountains, then you have a problem. If you stick to JEDEC standard modules, i.e. black chips on green sticks, or Low profile modules, then these should fit just nicely.
Suggest you read the technical design document of the cooler and check what the clearance is from the heatsink upwards to where the cooling fins start. Check the technical design specs of your intended mem modules and see what the height is. That should give you a good indication.
If you want an excellent cooler that has plenty clearance by design, consider the Zalman 9900 series.

Problem Boot MSI X48C Platinum

Good evening,
Sorry for my not perfect english. I have a big problem, please help me .
I have assembled my new pc with these components:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
Ram: Corsair XMS3 2x2GB kit PC3-10666 1333Mhz DD3
MotherBoard: MSI X48C Platinum

Music Card: Creative Audigy2
Power Supplie: Cooler Master 700w Silent Pro
When i try to power on my pc, it reboot in few second (4-5 seconds) again and again since the first time.
What can i do? Please help me....

Your Bios is to old for a E0 stepping CPU.
For a E8500 stepping E0, you need Bios 7.2 or higher.
For a E8500 stepping C0, you need Bios 7.0 or higher.
I think you have stepping E0.
What can you do:
1. Flash the Bios with a CPU supportet from Bios 7.1
2. Let flash the bios from a local computer dealer
Here you can check the bios version you need:
