ya, RMA process is fine, but they are asking me to submit the processor also, it might take some where between 15days - 45 days. What do you suggest, should i purchase CM Hyper TX3 @ Rs1200 and install it and move on ?

get it RMA'd. u may not need to purchase the thermal paste. also applying that gel will at most lower temperature, not sound.

Sam bhai CM Hyper TX3 is a CPU cooler,not TIM

oh yes damn. i messed it with TX2 which is TIM. but TX3 is very basic. search for Scythe Katana 3. its much better than TX3. cost ~300 more. else get TX3. anyway what about the Overdrive issue?

The heatsink provided on X4 955 BE is a joke. See this pic of the fan on X4 955 BE

Compare it with the size of the fan on a Core 2 Duo attached, which is a dual core, where as X4 955 BE is a quadcore. And we all know 955 BE is a hot running CPU, no wonder that poor fan provided by AMD makes so much noise and always runs at high speeds. Copper pipes are there but the fan should able to disperse the heat accumulated by the copper pipes

Hi All
Two queries :
1. Is AMD Sempron cool and can run COD etc without overheat in a new system for hours ?
2. My Acer 5536 is getting too hot..Even playing Farmville in FF for two minutes raises the temp to 85C !!!!!!!! I cant disassemble it myself (too complex) . Where should I get it repaired in Gurgaon/Delhi ?

How old is the HSF/CPU. And if you plan to OC down the line, this RMA will do jack difference. Might as well get a new HSF.

Asigh the HSF and CPU are just 10 days old. Got the replacement HSF from AMD via DOA procedure. It is less noisy than the original HSF, it rotates at 4000RPM, but no difference to the temperatures.
I have ordered CM Hyper TX3 from PRIMEABGB for Rs 1400 including shipping. It will reach me today.I will install it tonight and report the results.
These are the average temperatures recorded by EVEREST at idle state. Are these normal?
Mobo: 41 c
CPU: 50 c
Aux: 54 c
GPU Diode: 55 c
HDD: 40 c
During daytime they rise by 3-4 degrees.
I have two additional fans ( one sucking in, other expeling out). The side covers of my cabinet are kept open. The cables are neatly tucked to one side for air flow.

Oh, btw my mobo is asus p5kpl-am/ps, cpu is intel p4 2.8ghz HT, gpu is sparkle geforce 8400gs 512mb.

Ok guys. Got the heatsink CM Hyper TX3. Installed it. Idle temp is 39-40. HSF fan rotates at 1900RPM. No noise. I like it. At 100% load the temps were 59-60. HSF Fan runs at 2900RPM. Even at full speed there is no noise. Coming to the crash part, I made CPU temperature monitor on the MB as ignored. Temps now monitored on speed fan which runs in the tray all time.

I think all the stock heatsinks are waste ! better they provide less money without cooler so that everyone can buy the 3rd party cpu cooler
hyper 212 plus would be a better choice 400 more than TX3
Anyway congts

ya the original plan was to get SCYTHE katana 3. but primeabgb didnt have it. I purchased CM Hyper TX3 as a emergency HSF. Will go for a better one when the need arises.
yes the stock HSF on 955BE is noisy and it doesn't cool the processor well.

@ pulsar_swift - congrats on your purchase and glad to hear that your problem is solved
BTW, how much did you pay for the TX3 ??
@ damngoodman999 - Yep, most of the stock cpu coolers are crap - but can't say it about intel pentium D 930's stock cpu cooler :
it's idle at 36-38C and on load reaches 48-50C - paste used - CM Nano Fusion

CM Hyper TX3 was Rs 1400 shipped from PRIME ABGB ( 1200+200)
