Overheating problems

[keith_j_snyder2]

Also one more thing what tool should i use if i want to cut a piece of metal of my cabinet. i want to run my cable behind the motherboard to help airflow

Plasma Cutter - for best finish

Well i'm using a Quad core q6600 and i'm planning to overclock it to 3.0Ghz presently running at 45C. Can anyone recommd a good cpu cooller my budget is 2500Rs.

Also i read that we have to clean the insides of our power supplies once in a while, but i have a warranty sticker outside that'll tear if i open it, will it be a problem. There is loads of dust inside

Use water cooling.
Can easily use CM Aquagate mini R80, 12.
Q6600 generates more heat than any other processor on the block (like the lowest priced quad core really needs power) Anyways Hyper 48 is what i am using and its pretty good.
Zalman CNPS 9700,9500 are the best air-cooling options!

Pasma cutter cool now where am i supposed to dig out that from No seriosuly i really wanted to cut some place out of my motherboard tray so that i can pass wires from behind.

And well i'm kinda scared about water cooling, one i never tried it, second its supposed to be expensive right. Thats why i was looking at air cooling options.

After all this i really would like to get some uv tubes

Try finding a "dremel" or get this for all your cutting and drilling work *www.telebrandsindia.com/Telebrands India - Rotomatic.asp

For cpu cooler try to get what janitha has suggested and no those cooler won't damage your mobo. I am myself using this cooler for my C2D *www.sidewindercomputers.com/enulforamatf.html

And yeah plasma cutter would be great

Hmm liked the drill, going to get it. About the cpu cooler link, is it ok to get the product shipped from there, means what about any damage or are indian customs?? i really need a cooler like those

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Wow this CPU cooler is cool! Looking sweet!
But never heard about that "Enzotech"

Whats wrong into Zalman CNPS?
And CM Hyper 48!
There are few good options from Cooler Master, besides Cooler Master has no warranty issues!
Sphere, Gemini,Gemini S, Hyper TX, Hyper TX2 etc. are good offerings from Cooler Master!

worth? my bugget <2k

No problem getting the cooler from sidewindercomputers. Many of the forum have bought from them including me. It takes about 15-20 days atmost to reach you.

@keith
This enzotech is rated amoung the top with thermalright, in terms of performance. The base is mirror polished and also can be fitted with lots of socket and arctic silver thermal paste is included in the package. Here is the review I had written *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63490

@axxo
I had a arctic freezer pro cooler for AMD and you can't go wrong with their product. The build quality and the price to performance ratio is excellent. And for you budget it's a very good choice.

why not get the hyper 6 for 2.5k? its lot better than this one and can be connected with two 120mm fans for very gud cooling.

[keith_j_snyder2]

Wow seriously! I never knew that this cooler is good with overclockers.
Let me just change my system and i will post some overclocking benchmarks with hyper 48!

Dude this is aluminum, right? SO where is this compared to a copper cooler!
Seriously with 2X120mm fans this must be a heck noisy and more power eater!
Are there any benchmarks?

This is one of the few fully copper coolers, but heaviest also!

For review, benchmarks etc, see-
*www.tomshardware.com/2004/04/28/coolermaster_hyper_6/

BTW, it seems to be a very old model. (4 years)

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Too heavy means broken mobo...soon!
But great thing!

 

[amitash]

best cooler on the block is the thermalright ultra 120...its 60$ on newegg...arround 2500Rs...the thermalright ultra 120 EXTREME is even better..although a little more expensive...if u definately gota go under 2500RS then the best thing wud be tuniq tower 120...its jus 2% worse tan the thermalright

Speaking of heating. Check this heat:

My Western Digital IDE HDD on my old PC, Sempron 2.53GHz is running above 63*C. Getting a constant warning from diskcheckup and HDTune. what should i do to cool this. even opening the cabinet is not having any effect. Pls help. Hard disk health is showing 89 out of 100 and all SMART readings seem to be normal.

Try to install a front inlet fan blowing towards the HDD and there will be considerable reduction in temperature.

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Or u can use a HDD cooler!
Try for a local one, cost u almost 350/-

People needing some comparison of CPU coolers may see this page: *www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/20/cpu_cooler_charts_2008/index.html

Very startling revelations to be seen here!!!

Thanks, but a slight problem. I dont know how to host a front fan. Any site/place where I can read/see the instructions? And since the front is fully blocked, where will it get the air from? No inlet below HDD. Will removing the floppy drive create the opening? Can you suggest?

Yes, it is something to be read before taking a decision. Even reputed brands performing poor. ( and that too, newer products)

Yes, that is a problem for most cabs. My Antec can house two 80mm ones that too very easiy. (no screws etc) Newer cabs accommodate three 120mm ones. (eg. CM690)

Will search for it.
