It is actually a really good cooler, for stock cooling, rivals an Artic Freeze 7 Pro in performance.

having a powerful CPU that is silent is like owning a lamborgini and expecting it to sound like a REVA electric.

Yes they are......I was using 2 for my Opteron 2350's and I was annoyed at how loud they were.....Replaced them with this baby: http://www.rosewill.com/products/481/productDetail.htm

IF you want to, then take that puny fan off , and strap a 92mm or 120mm to it, it will be more silent and will prolly drop the temp aswell

But congrats on the new cooler. Didn't know AMD supplied such good stock coolers. If you don't want to attach a 120mm or a 92mm fan, like don said (I still think it's a good idea), you could take advantage of the holes on the fan and attach a Arctic Cooling 80mm fan, one of those with only one way to mount it (assuming that the fan on the cooler is 80mm, or has the 80mm holes). That fan can pull even more air from the surrounding area and would increase the aiflow, without too much cost and still being able to look cool. Man, now even I want to try this...

the stock fan is 70mm wide, so 60mm between holes sounds right

I removed the VGA's stock cooler and sat the card over the CPU cooler, put a very thin pencil through the cooler mounting holes on the card to make four marks on the base of the CPU cooler. then I drilled holes through those four marks, sanded them back, and applied the CPU cooler using cable ties. |

I know it's doable. I've also done it with a sotck Pentium 2/3 (socket 370) heatsink and used zip ties to strap it on to a 9800, or a 9600 can't remember. Then I just used a 60mm fan. But we're not talking about small sized coolers. The PhenomII cooler seems a bit too heavy and might bend the card, due to irregular weight distribution. Not to mention the hard task of finding a way to attach it to the card. The space it occupies can't be considered a downside, since most GPU after-market coolers can cover up to 3 slots.

I actually bought one of AMD's older copper heatpipe coolers (Cooler Master CMHK8-8I22A-A2) from Radical_Ed. It supports standard 80mm fans with screws. Don't know why they discontinued this one for the newer but but regardless, I'm looking to buy an Arctic Cooling F8 fan for it.

just measured. the fan is 70mm as said, and the diagonal b/w holes is 92mm.
i.e dist between holes is 65mm. such an odd size! EDIT: i am shoooo happie!! Last edited by de.das.dude; Sep 25, 2010 at 05:46 PM. |

Careful with that double post.
A 70mm fan is not odd, just not widely sold (if you google it, there's tons of models, just none with ACs frame design, which was the whole idea). Most case fans are either 80mm, 92/90mm, 120mm (140mm are becoming more common too). Smaller case fans are the 50mm and 60mm for uses like chipset cooling, small GPU coolers and LANBox case cooling (When there's not enough space). There's also 40mm fans, but I haven't any use for it, yet. My laptop base cooler has two 70mm fans. EDIT: YAY!!!1 500th post!!1!!11!!one!! One more star!!1!!!11!!!eleven!!1! |
