    Good Cooler for QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200, 2333 MHz (7 x 333)

    Speed Fan showing no load temps The setting I selected from Prime (max heat) The four worker panes running in Prime After about 10 minutes Speed Fan showing about average of 25 degree rise across each core and Fan 1 (CPU) increase of about 3000rpm to try and compensate

    Let me post a screen grab of mine to show you before you give it a go :)

    It runs from the exe, no need to install. When you think you close it, an icon sits beside the clock, you need to right click exit to shut it down. I used it yesterday, had Speed Fan running to monitor temps and loads of each core, but your program you posted up before will be fine. I ran...

    Nice find, think I'll order a couple, do you recommend these over the paste?, or, is there a better paste?

    Those are supposed to be a good choice, with a quiet fan :)

    Good Cooler for QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200, 2333 MHz (7 x 333)

    Now that is interesting, to actually see one in the real world with real temps, wish we had you temps over here lol. Would it be possible for you to post temps when running at full throttle, maybe using Prime 95. When I am using certain applications, large files, processing etc my CPU is near...

    Thanks for the replies. I looked for the Akasa Shinetsu Thermal Pads but they seem not to be around any more, only a double sided tape that is not advised for CPU cooling. Which paste do you recommend?

    Makes sense actually, plus you can't change water in the sealed units So, will probably go with this then http://www.dabs.com/products/xigmatek-dark-knight-s1283v-77Q7.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product+search&utm_content=Q200 ...unless there are any other suggestions Thanks

    Good Cooler for QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200, 2333 MHz (7 x 333)

    No worries, I am not a gamer at all on my PC, more video, photography sort of use. If I needed excessive cooling I'd go full water, I'm surprised there isn't a refrigerant type cooling system, or may be there is already lol. Problem I have is that I was going to upgrade to a new board, CPU...

    Would you go with the Corsair and swap out the fan - looks like the 50 is now replaced with the 60, or go for the Antec - I'll take your judgement on this one as not too sure about them both, but I do like the idea of the closed loop, plus I could keep or upgrade the side fan as well Thanks again

    Done a lot of searching over the last couple of hours and it seems as though the closed water systems are still being avoided by a lot of people. But, I don't always go with what people say. I did find that the Corsair units, 60 and 80 and really loud at full throttle, and that people swapped...

    No, not at all, it doesn't seem to offer that much air flow and is forever getting full of dust
