Overheating problems

If you are nit-picky, change it every 6 months. Else once you start to see temperatures rise, re-TIM it.

Ya, is a pain. Plus I have a Hyper 212, would need to pull out the whole board. Groan. Or change it when the chip burns out -- like mine will soon..!

Hi,

I recently got my new rig configured. Now i want to overclock it so thinking of a good HSF below 1.5k. I got this thermal paste "Artic Silver" while i was installing my rig. As I have a Zebronics Antibiotic cabinet so please name something that will fit inside this :)
Also i got myself 2 CM Silent series 120mm fans @2000rpm. Now i need another 140mm @ 2000rpm. Can you please advice which one i should go 4 as Cooler master doens't have 140mm @ 2000rpm as informed by dealer.


Cheers,
Cosmos

Guyz,

How is this HSF - "Cooler master hyper 212 Plus".

@asigh ....I see that you have this same HSF - CM Hyper 212. Is it good? How low does it reduce the temp? Im thinking of the Hyper 212 Plus so will it fit in my Zebronics Antibiotic cabinet and on the MSI - X58 Pro-E motherboard?

The Hyper 212 + or the non plus versions should fit into your cabinet, plus socket.

The reason I do not like Hyper 212+ is because:

Yup, the base of Hyper 212 is properly lapped but to get the the maximum benefit out of a hyper 212+ one have to properly lap it using sand papers :p

Overall if you don't want/wish to use your cpu cooler with core i3/i5/i7 procs then getting the first one make more sense as it's usable right out of the box .... :p

But slightly more expensive...!

yup ... but given the right out of the box usability it's worth it.

as far as I know Hyper 212 does not natively supports core i7 procs ... you might have to buy a LGA-1366 bracket for hyper 212 from lynx-india.

Hyper 212 ( LGA 1366 Support - Optional )
*www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=3096

which core i7 proc do you have ?? if you have 1156 pin core i7 proc then your only bet is Hyper 212+
*www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6603

BTW, guys need some help ... take a look at here :

I think it is shipping with the 1366 bracket/mount. Depends how old the model is which is purchased. CM should be able to ship him one too.

I have a core i7 920 2.66Ghz and yes its a 1366 scoket pin.

I think it is shipping with the 1366 bracket/mount. Depends how old the model is which is purchased. CM should be able to ship him one too.

The coolermaster website link which i have posted above shows that core i7 1366 socket is supported. N ya, can you please tell me what date of manufacturing i sud b looking for so that i get the 1366 compactibility??

Guyz saw a weird thing in lynx-india.com
Price of Hyper 212 is Rs :2188/- *www.lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=699
whereas price of Hyper 212 Plus is Rs :1852/- !!! *www.lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=7674

How?

That is absolutely true. Why you think I recommend the Hyper 212. It has more metal, and is twin tower.

Ohhhh ok...Now i got the point. So the Hyper 212 will cost me around 2.5k with the extra 120mm fan because i see that the Coolermaster provides only 1 fan with it.:cry:
Hope the xtra 1k pays off by providing a good cooling.

@ cosmos - Hyper 212 supports 1366 pin core i7 procs .... but the 1366 retention mounting is a optional buy ... as I bought my-self on Aug 2009 ( the unit was imported on may 2009 ) .. there was no LGA 1366 pin retention mount ...

This is bad...:cry:
Can't i get any other good HSF within 2 to 2.5k which actually comes with all fittings and support for 1366 socket i7 rig. I'm really tight on budget right nw and this CM H512 price keeps on increasing, like getting extra fan, extra retention bracket!
@topgear - can you please suggest any other Heat sink options within my mentioned price range...or else the last resort is to get the 512 at the xtra budget:sad:

^^ The optional bracket was available on lynx-india - make sure about it's availability before getting 212.

@ cosmos - another good one is core contact freezer 120mm but even it requires a bracket for LGA 1366

Another one you can try is Scythe Mugen 2 :p

Ok I have a PC with the following setup:

Intel DG43GT
Intel C2D E7400
Kingston DDR2 800mhz 1GBx2
Palit GeForce GTS 250
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11RPM 320GB
Cooler Master Extreme Power 500W
Cooler Master Elite 335

When I start up my PC and enter the BIOS, my ICH seems to have a temperature of around 94C. If I wait for around 2mins, it goes down to 84-86C. Even when I restart my comp, it suddenly appears to be 92-94 and comes down to 86-84 in less than a minute. What is the issue?? Is my ICH really THAT hot?? All my apps and games run fine. I play Batman Arkham Asylum on 1440x900 with all the settings maxed (no AA). Is there a chance I'll have a blown ICH??
