The fan I listed is 1.8A and was used as a primary CPU fan for 130W CPus. 90x38mm thick. I doubt if an 80mm Arctic will produce the same result. It willl need it's own power souce. It speeds up sooner than the T3500 fan profile.

thats a pretty good idea except that...... Walmart.ca doesnt have it, ebay has it listed for $53 CAD with $26 shipping and when I checked amazon.ca, I got a Chinese video with a woman packing some serious ballistics.

The video is a tad expensive ($150) but I may buy it for @lexluthermiester

Well, ~$30 after shipping isn't too bad. Hopefully I wont get scammed from the import duties.

Thanks mate.

Those were used in old pre BTX Dell Dimensions. You might get a whole computer with one for free. If you have a local scrapper they probably have some. They're not rare. The only reason I know about them is I saved them from old Dells.
How does $6 sound?
I'm having trouble linking it but if you scroll down in the lot of 6 link they have them for about $6 shippped. Which is about FMV for used ones.

We arent like the USA where things come cheap or scrappers dont try to nickle and dime you over junk. I used to travel to the US regularly to pick up computer parts cause it came out to a bit cheaper than buying here and plus availability of parts (for instance the 1600x AF doesnt exist up here).

I will search to find a dell PC with the fans but I guarantee you there will be a zero find.

 

[Retrorockit]

I edited in a comment above. $6 shipped for used ones. Scroll down in the lot of 6 link.
I think he really intends to send you 6 for $13.99

If that's the case, I'll take it!

 

[Retrorockit]

I'm seeing $3.40 single used, $13.99 new, and $2.20 each for 6 used. Plus freight in most cases.
The ATX guys can't run 1.8A. fans,and they're not PWM. Huge supply and almost no demand.
Here's my favorite. 150x50mm 1.8A 265cfm Delta AFC1512DG $11.99

That is very cool! Looks good as well. How did you get the power button and front panel connectors to work?

Thanks! It has been fun but never done! Haha the front panel io was removed and I just connected the power button cable from the haf x which was two pin and the exact pic set up to the board, just had to shave the connector down a little. The pin location on the board was shown to me by another user. I do get the front panel missing error but F1 gets me passed it.

 

[lexluthermiester]

I do get the front panel missing error but F1 gets me passed it.

If it were me, I'd find a way to hook it up, even if I had to break out the soldering gun and rewire it a bit. But hey it's all good, if it works for you that's what counts!

 

[rGBurninator]

I would totally have done that but not to sure exactly how and nervous about messing something up! But for now it does work, I would rather not push F1. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know!

You could plug in it to the board and just tuck into the back of the case. That front panel unit disassembles fairly easily.

Yes I could do that, but what about using the power button on the case? Would I need to modify the front panel connector to be able to still use it?

Also, off topic question. So I have the X5687 currently and it is turbo locked right now and doing pretty good, would the W3680 at 4ghz be that much of a boost in performance? They are both 32nm chips and the X5687 turbos at 3.86, but is the W series better in any way beside being unlocked?

Depends upon what you do with your system. W3680 means $46 (from Aliexpress) investment. I use my system also for Video Editing with Da Vinci. So 12 Threads for editing $46 was worth investing. If you only game ..... then depending upon which games you play ....... evaluate if 4 cores is sufficient. If yes then X5687 is a decent CPU.

 

[Retrorockit]

As far as the F1 issue goes, I had an AMD GPU issue with another Dell system that required F1 and I just used hibernate/ restore to skip that.
The 2 advantages the W3680 has are 50% more cores, and it's multiplier unlocked.
The X5687 can be run dual CPU in a T5500 so nobody here looks down their nose at them.

I mostly use it for streaming and pulling clips from my stream to post or make small videos and it seems to be doing fine for that. I do game on it as well but mostly to see what it can handle haha.

I have been using this same method for now and seems to be working fine.
Yes, those are two known and good advantages but I just need to figure out if it is worth it to me. I would love to have an unlocked CPU and more threads, who wouldn't!

Ok, I said the heck with it and ordered one....but I won't get it for a while as it is coming from China.

 

[lexluthermiester]

No, you could just solder it to the power button lines, if you are so inclined.

Short answer, yes. Your X5687 is a quad core part. The W3680 is a 6 core part that can clock to similar levels by default. You will gain 2 extra cores and the ability to clock higher(with the assistance of ThrottleStop), which I can personally attest to the benefit of. I recently got a set of W3680's and they are a cut above. I just looked on ebay and in the US they're going for a reasonable $40-$45. I would upgrade if you can get one for a similarly reasonable price and keep your X5687 as a spare, just in case.

I own one of each too. The biggest difference was you already owned one of them.

I'm sorry for the confusion on this but do you mean on the io board itself or the "ribbon" cable on the main plug for the io?

I ordered one but did not see any in the us but since I have the x5687 I can wait for it to come from China

Lol yeah but always need more power! Also very curious on what the benchmark will be compared to what it is now.

 

[ManGupta]

What Cinebench R15 Score do you now get for X5687 ?

There's is the link to it above
EDIT: Just realized you asked for the cinabench score, sorry. I can get that later tonight or tomorrow. It is saved on my computer

 

[lexluthermiester]

The board itself. The contact points are in the open and easily soldered.

Fair enough. I just looked on Ebay and nothing. Kinda strange.
