Has anyone tried replacing the fan of the stock cooler with another?
 

I mean, taking off the fan of a C2D stock cooler and attaching another one?

Any benefits? Not worth trying?

Running your processor at those speeds in your specs I would recommend just getting an AC Freezer pro.

:roll:

Is your computer in a freezer?

Yeah, freezer 7, or 120mm Xigmatek would be insanely better.:laugh:

hes already got a cooler on the way, I think this is just for until then........

Ohh and I have thought of running my computer in a freezer :)

atleast the radiators.... I have seriously thought about this

condensation :(

not if I just run the radiators, who cares of condensation then :)

Yah, I would never stick a whiole computer in there - hehe :rofl:

I order from my regular supplier a NH-U9B cooler (bigger ones won't fit in my case). Problem is there's no such cooler available in Portugal for sale :mad:

Judging from those reviews, this cooler outperforms some of the big coolers and since i can't get a big cooler, i want the next best thing.

TV Announcer: Previously on condensation.
Johnny: Helen, there's moisture on the outside of my glass.
Helen: It's condensation Johnny.
Johnny: But what about the fog on the windows?
Helen: It's not fog Johnny, it too is called condensation.
Johnny: Con-den-sation-sation-sation-sation

Nice! Gotta love the family guy :)

oh, and this is the freezer I want to mod for my 3 radz!!

:p yep


i never knew you could put a rig in a freezer.

It comes with an ice scraper. It doesn't defrost itself. Yes, destroy your computer. :laugh:

The same type of freezer sells for $80 at your local Walmart and it auto-defrosts. ;)

I find this utterly stupid: really!

This NH-U9B cooler is a product from an Austrian company and isn't available here in Portugal but it's available in Singapore and has been for around 1.5 months. Isn't Singapore a LOT further away then Portugal?

Come on :mad::mad::mad:

yeah, not worried about the defrost thing, Im only putting radiators in it. Highly doubt with warm water running that they will freeze. HIGHLY doubt that. infact I would like that.

I figure its cheaper than getting a water chiller.

Oh and Walmart only carries fridges, you think I havent already checked this!!:roll:

I might be able to send you my lapped Xigmatek 120mm.;)

Its a really good cooler, ask anybody. It uses HDT.

I feel your pain dude! That must suck. I am very thankful for places like newegg, I bitch when I dont get my stuff in a week, let alone a month or more!

3 of my local Walmart's carry minifridges, and minifreezers.

The only one I could find was to small for my radz, I need between 1.5 & 2 cubic feet and it has to be a upright.

Won't fit: unless it's a small (in height) heatsink, it won't fit my case!

Thank you for offering, though!

EDIT

This is my case:

Yeah I was in the market for one to use as a beerigerator but the minifreezers and minifriges are only 1.6cu.ft. so that might be a tight squeeze.:laugh:

Try 1.5 months. I order it on 16-03-2008 and i have yet to know when it will be available.

I even went to Noctua's site and checked out every single store they say sell Noctua's products in Portugal but all i could find were older, less efficient, versions of this cooler :banghead: :mad:

EDIT

But, back on topic: has anyone tried replacing the fan of the stock cooler for another fan?

no sorry, i would imagine if you used a 120mm fan with and addapter to kick it don to 80mm and cable tied it it would work.

i have a stock intel fan on my nb hs tho.
