CPU remains overheated...........tried many options!!!!!.

With Ninja we surely need to remove the big side fan from the peace cabby, since ninja is 15cm in height, & with optional fan another 2cm to add

I have not measured the case but base on my estimate that it wont fit with side panel fan.

UPDATEI just measured the width its exactly 16.5mm space from mobo base to the cabby door so it would fit in, but the side fan from the cabby needs to be removed.

Hey sam9s!
Why don't you try to find CORSAIR water cooling kit. They do give very good result in terms of bring down the temperature.
See review of one of its product "COOL WATER" here *www.legitreviews.com/article.php?aid=168
and of "NAUTILUS 500" over here *www.legitreviews.com/article/302/1/

Both their price is around $155-160. *www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1221697

John,
The idea of OC is to make best use of stock speed, if one needs to buy a special case or special heatsink fan for $155/- isn't it better to get higher processor?

I use 6300 half the cost of 6600, now if I have to spend that amount to run 6300 at OC speed I rather buy 6600 or 6700.

E6300 doesn;t cost half of the E6600 .. the price diff. is around 5k's .. and well worth it ..

 

[ranjan2001]

Well when I bought it in jan 1st week, the difference was nearly half, 6300 was around 8200/- & 6600 was quoted around 14000/- & not easily available.

I discussed this here & decided that since 6300 has good Oc capability its better to save money & invest in gud ram & PSU.

Rightly said but to achieve good OC one must also use good cooling solution. Your selection of NINJA heatsink is good but I thought you guys really are looking for water cooling so I suggested the CORSAIR thingy.
Arctic Cooling's thermal solution are also good and costs less then others, maybe you could look at their products.
I myself am using ARCTIC COOLING FREEZER 64 PRO for my X2 3800+ and have overclocked it from 2GHz to 2.6GHz with idle being 38C and load of 45C.

Artic FREEZER 64 PRO is also on our choice list but ninja seems to out perform artic, thats what I have found reading many reviews.

I have no inclination towards water cooling but Sam has been discussing this with fellow OC guys. More over I feel peace cabby cannot take water cooling eaisily, as there is no front open vent for the water cooler radiator.

 

[john_the_ultimate]

Good luck guys.........better get that ninja and overclock and do post the results here.

Hi Sam, I measured it & it would "just" fit in leaving few mm from the case, we surely need to remove the side fan & place it somewhere else.

We also can mod the case (clear side can be removed & be screwed from the out side with 1-2 cm of packing) that will do the job perfectly.

I inquired from sidewinders.com & performance-pc.com, both ship to India. Once u r back in delhi we discuss this & order accordingly.
