please suggest a decent cpu cooler

[BULLZI]

thanx a lot.
.
well noone hv purchased nything from memory-configurator?

actually without having a decent pc2-8500 ram and cpu heatsink,i dont want to fancy overclocking with my cpu.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

I am OverClocking my C2D with just another Transcend 667 MHz RAMs

 

[BULLZI]

@choto

if you dont mind can you please tell me what is the max. speed u are getting thru overclocking?

 

[Choto Cheeta]

if you dont mind can you please tell me what is the max.

Why should I mind

Anyway at present RAMs are at Default 667 MHz and CPU running at 2.98 GHz !!!

but see i am not the best person here from whom one should take advice of OverCloking me my self is a n00be in this front...

Well with 2.8 / 2.9 on the stock the Idle Temp is 43 / 45c on load goes up to 55c... now its with vcore 1.27 / 1.28... any thing above 1.3 is pushing the Temp up to 48c idle... and onload its close to 60c !!!! and in that case I run the RAM with 703 MHz (even I run those RAMs with 775MHz too, didnt give any problem)

So, let the cooler come... then we can see how fast I can take this E6600 with Transcend RAMs

 

[BULLZI]

well actually i read some reviews from hexus.net and also forum.atomic.

they hv suggested to use atleast pc2-6400 for decent overclocking.
my cpu is E6400.rite now its overclocked to 2.42 Ghz.
bt vcore volt is a bit high,about 1.32 volt.wanna decrease that.

there are some exciting test results.they are saying that their 800 MHZ ram is running at 1000 MHZ ,system rock stable.u can get about 3.4-3.6 GHZ processor speed using DDR2-800.

bt using DDR2 667,its really hard to achieve such oc.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

See, I saw this RAM can run 775 MHz without any problem whats so ever, now with 2.9 GHz CPU and RAM at Default 667 MHz

System in Background Keeps AtuGK running for Encoding where as my nephew Plays NFS MW in multitasking... now its like 24x7 now days... so let the cooller came and would see how fast it can go

@choto

yah check it out and do post the results.wht about putting a new thread about oc settings and results?

i am also going to order the cooler for me.if i wud hv got my ram from there,too it wud hv been really nice.nyway,congrats on ur purchase .

 

[Hells_Fury]

USD 110 !!!! Incl Every thing till now... dont know if Customs will give any headache or not...

You should have asked Gary to undervalue the items and mark the package as a commercial sample. Usually customs wont detain these type of packages...Even I had to learn the hard way.

well noone hv purchased nything from memory-configurator?

Was thinking about it but the only problem is that they dont stock Corsair RAM...

 

[BULLZI]

@FURY

corsair is,no doubt, a well reputed manufacturer bt there are other ones too as OCZ,CRUCIAL BALLISTICS,G SKILL,MUSHKIN which are also decent ones.

nyway,are u interested in having rams from theitdepots?

 

[Hells_Fury]

Nope...too costly. Will mostly have sm1 get it for me from the US. My second option was Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500, but even those arent available from MC...
If you are getting your RAM from MC get the OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500 kit.

 

[BULLZI]

well i hv got someone who s in the US rite now.
will the customs allow him to carry the ram with him?

 

[Hells_Fury]

Depends on the value of all electronics items that he is carrying. If its below a certain limit, its ok. And first of all, if they dont notice the RAM then no problem. Sometimes the customs officials dont check the hand baggage and check only checked-in baggage. It all depends on his luck.

 

[thecreativeboy]

cooler master hyper 6t.i think it cost s around rs.3200

 

[BULLZI]

@fury

whts the actual value of "limit"??
well hes gonna be carrying only 2 gb ram n a cpu cooler.will it exceed the limit??

 

[kooabs03]

i think the limit is 25K.

 

[BULLZI]

@kooabs

well total price of ram + cpu cooler will be max. 20k.
then its in limit i guess?

 

[Hells_Fury]

I thins kooabs03 is right. If I remember correctly, the limit is Rs. 25k itself. If he is carrying no other electronics items then its ok. But just as a precaution, ask him to keep the RAM in his hand baggage.

@fury
thanx for your advice friend.
nyway do u guyz believe it,my procy temperature went up to 85 C oc to 2.42 Ghz.
i referred to stress checking using Othos as well as TAT.The result was at 100% load and within 1 hr.
it seems that next thing one needs to upgrade with pc is AC.
