The PC Air Cooling Club

mlee49 · May 16, 2009

Hey Eastcoast, if you feel in an updating mood you can put an EX in front of my ownership status for the CoolerMaster Hyper Z600. Been w/Water for about a month now in your other excellent club. :toast:

EastCoasthandle · May 16, 2009

ok, it's done...

Yukikaze · May 16, 2009

Update:

I got a Scythe Mugen II (just barely) cooling my Core i7 920 at 4Ghz.

Nice setup Yukikaze, Is that wire going around the side of your rear 120mm exhaust the CPU power connector? If so, I found routing it under the bottom of the vid card in front of the PCI-e slot along the MB works much better, less stretching, on the few boards I've done it, no pinching between add-in cards and MB plus it looks a bit cleaner. Just a tip, I'm not crazy on cable mgt, but with my new case it's easy to do. How's that i7 treating you? Definately a beefy cooler for a sweet chip.

I used to do that on my Q9650, but here if I put it below the HD4870X2 then I can't route it above the rear fan. If it goes below the fan, it blocks the limited airflow to the board PWMs and they are hot enough I had to mod another fan to the back of the case to keep them cool (You can't see it in the pics), so I'd rather have the wire where it is and my board in working order than a prettier case and a toasted X58

Took me the better part of Saturday to get it stable on 4Ghz, heat is a killer on those chips, but it is incredibly fast once it gets going.

my in the PROCESS media center....
(anyone know of a HTPC case that will fit the v8... any ideas)

V8...
i love it... Intel Q9650 Quad @ 4.2Ghz (idle.. high 30c's... load.. mid 50c's) and is QUIET...
only noise i hear is the BLU-RAY burner...

Intel Q9650 Quad @ 4.2Ghz
DFI LP DK P45-T2RS PLUS
Patriot Viper 4GB DDR2 - 5.5.5.15
DIAMOND Radeon HD 4890 1GB - (stock)
SAMSUNG 250gb sata
Cooler Master V8
Thermalright HR-05 SLI/IFX Chipset Cooler with 80mm fan
Thermalright HR-09S Mosfet Cooler
Thermalright HR-09U Mosfet Cooler

my I7 (Intel LGA 1366 i7 @ 2.8Ghz) .. is a different story...
i run the 'Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Heatsink' with a 120mm fan on each side...
sooo much heat... its sick... (idle.. low 40c's .. load... high 50c's)
with a ROOM fan pointed at it...
looking for options before i move to WATER...

great info btw..

well.. this seems like an appropriate place to ask
Which case has better STOCK cooling
Antec 902 or HAF 932?

I'm gonna have to go with the HAF 932. Bit tech did a case review that shows slightly better temps:
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2009/02/25/antec-nine-hundred-two-902-review/4

It's gonna be close either way so which is cheaper?

A better question would be the Antec 902 VS HAF 922

El_Mayo · May 29, 2009

902 is cheaper
HAF 922 :O
true say

gonna find a review now

sneekypeet · May 29, 2009

well I owned a 900 and currently run the 922. I feel the antec pushed more pressure with thier fans than CM cases do, but the dual huge fans from CM have to take some advantage. I will say the CM case is a ton quieter getting things cool v. any 900 at full speed.

El_Mayo · May 29, 2009

will the HAF 922 accomodate the longest of cards though?

sneekypeet · May 29, 2009

And some. I found there is no real lack of room in the HAF 922, Im ruunning a GTS250 in mine and there is plenty of room for say an X2 card that is the full 11". See!

El_Mayo · May 29, 2009

okay man
thanks
922 should save a bit of money and space over 932

Xiggy S1283 Red Scorpion cooling my PhII 940

El_Mayo · May 29, 2009

*unsubscribes from thread*

edit: what is the UK price for the HAF 922?

That doesnt have the PSU either...lol

Here is a shot with the PSU installed as well, just for a better idea

Oh and this is at OC.UK http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-176-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=

what are all of the sinks for on the back of the card

johnnyfiive · Jul 24, 2009

Add me to the list, Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 and an Ikonik Ra X10 SIM case (LOVE THIS CASE).

Wonder if they get warm at all!
U might drop 1 degree off the PCB!!!
