yep, OP can try undervolting .. it maximizes the cpu efficiency, reduce power usages and temps - I'm running PII 955BE at stock speed with 1.3v ( 1.28v under load ) only ;-)

which is better 212 plus or 212?

hopefully will get it tomorrow.

I believe 212 is new and improved one.... right?

This is my MB hope I won't have any problem installing

*www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/product/2/3275/1302.jpg

with this image, question popped why 2 ram slots are blue.. any difference..

I have 2x2 GB installed and I am looking forward to install 2GB more ..

will there be any performance issue..

undervolt the processor. Turn on Cool&Quite. Turn on Q fan.

i too have Athlon II X4 635 and it runs at 3k speed. all i get is a low humming sound even with side panels removed. else grab Cooler Master TX3.


it runs at 3K at full load.. I read some where reason for my problem might fan going bad..

Hyper 212 is the oldest one , then comes Hyper 212+ and the latest one is Hyper 212 Evo - get this ;-)

There's two blue and two white ram slots to show how Dual Channel mode will work - to enable dual channel mode you have to install 2 ram modules on either 2 blue or 2 white slots ... installing one ram module on blue and another one on white slot will run memory modules in non dual channel mode.

I've seen the the stock HSF fan speed reaching ~4k RPM on Athlon II X4s.

Thanks, will go for Hyper 212 Evo..

ya but I can not understand fan running at 4K+ when it is not at 100% load or even when temperature is low (45 around)

bought Hyper 212 Evo.. will install tomorrow

^^ that's no big deal IMO - I've seen Athlon II s fan running at ~3.7k RPM with 38c cpu temp ;-)

Congrats on the purchase of Hyper 212 Evo - post some pics of the cooler installed on the mobo ;-)

Finally Installed Hyper 212 Evo Today.. Damn Instructions to install are not at all clear in manual or so.. Installation was easy but figure out how to do was difficult, may be all will not face problem like me as it was my first after market cooler & did not knew how to install.. Instructions were not clear at all.

here is a PIC

*i39.tinypic.com/2q33gwj.jpg

But In Installation I would not Give more then 2 out of 10 but performance is damn good .. My Idle(I don't think my computer is ever idle ) temp is 29-30, awesome improvement from what I had.. In last couple of days temperature here was 38.. and my processor temp was 56. on least 45+ so 30 damn good improvement..

And no noise at all, may be I have not heard because of ceiling fan but certainly silent comparing to me stock cooler.

Have not checked yet on 100% load will do soon, but on 60% load it reached 38..

to install you need to remove your mother board(to install back plate).. I was thinking of cleaning of my comp from long time.. so it was the good reason to start too.. Removed and cleaned everything,

and I found another problem.. :( :mad:

after assembling it my smps fan did not start, comp was running but no fan, after rotating it manually I started my comp again and this time it worked.. but it is slow..

I have never noticed my Smps Fan so don't know if it is norm or not but it is slow.. don't know what to do .. as Everything running properly..

It is still in warranty but If I give it for RMA it will not return before a week I believe and it might take 15-20 Days. My work will suffer(I can not do any work without my comp).. Really a big trouble.

Most likely it is a bad PSU fan. But I don't know specifically about your PSU. Earlier fan used to run faster? May be it will run faster if your PC does some heavy task? (higher power consumption)

My Corsair AX850's fan never spins - until I start to play a game.

It is I believe, Here is what it says on Tagan Website page for my SMPS

Thermal fan control automatically adjusts fan speed thus controlling the temperature inside the power supply. (Fan speeds up when temperature rises.

Tagan Web page for my smps stonerock TG500-u37

and here is review I found that also say same..

Review from ratetorate.in

I don't know how reliable is that review but Tagan Web page is..

So now should I act or is it ok. just getting second opinion.

modern PSUs ( from good brands ) comes with PWM controlled fans ;-)

@ clmlbx - thanks for the pics .. but in 38c ambient temp the inside of the PSU must be hot enough to start rotating the PWM fan - so if the PSu fan is not running at normal speed it must have gone bad - if possible RMA the PSU or if the warranty is over just open the PSu and clean it from inside including the fan or else you can install a 120mm new LED fan very easily to the PSu a funky look.

but one thing to consider is I have no side panels attached, ceiling fan running at full speed, will start my cooler in couple of days,

So I am gonna take chance with it. let's hope for best. Can't lag my work because of it

you better use the cabby side panel with a fan attached to it for better cooling.
