Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro Vs Stock Cooler
Replies: 2 | Post Date: February 3rd 2007 | User: Kozik | Forums: devhardware.comI was reading some reviews on the arctic cooling freezer 64 pro as directed by another member and while reading these reviews i saw that throughout all of them the minimal temperature that the cpu reaches on idle is 29 while im looking at mine right now sitting at 31 (often 30) and my comp has been on for a couple days so its obviously not a good comparison but leans in my stock coolers favor. Is this 2 or 1 degree worth it or is there other benefits to this cooler?

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
I've read around and it seems like the freezer is generally regarded as a good hs+f. I was just wondering if it had thermal grease pre-applied. Is it alright as-is or will i be replacing it with arctic silver?

Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro + As5
I recently got an arctic cooling freezer 64 pro for my athlon64 3200+, i fitted with the thermal paste that was on it when i purchased it and i had a fair drop of 5-8 degrees (idle 28-34 degrees) so i thought i'd go the hole hog and get some arctic silver 5 after reading only good things about it, i have now applied it twice following the excellent guides available online, but the lowest i've had is 36 degrees, i no i should give it a while to get optimum cooling, but 36 just is not good enough even if it does drop a further 2 or 3 degrees. I am starting to think i should have just left it ! Has anyone any advice or ideas? The as5 is so thick compared to what i have used in he past is that right? Ive tried spreading with fingers, credit cards & i tried the "blob in the middle of cpu and let the heatsink flatten it" method to, but didn't spread to well and i don't really trust it, i like to see paste level before putting heatsink on. I, ve heard of thermal pads, are they any good? And can i buy one like i had in the first place on hs?

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Cpu Fan Spinning Intermittently
My arctic cooling freezer 7 pro cpu fan is only spinning intermittently on my asus motherboard. I have an asus p5n-sli-e. The fan is plugged into my motherboard by the 'cpu' power socket (4 pin, not molex). The cpu power socket it plugs into works - as i was running another cpu fan on it just fine, and occasionally it will spin up for a few seconds but never any longer. Cant use this pc very much as obviously the cpu overheats which crashes the pc.

Which Cpu Cooler: Zalman Or Arctic Freezer ?
I want to overclock an intel pentium dual-core e5200, which cpu cooler will be better suited?
Zalman cnps7000c-cu led
Arctic freezer 7 pro
I don't know much about arctic freezer cpu coolers, they just arrived in sa. I do know that the zalman is pure copper, so shouldn't that provide better heat conductivity? It also weighs more than the arctic freezer pro. I can get them both for about the same price, but so far i'm leaning towards the zalman. Do you think that the above cpu coolers are too much? I just wanna take the e5200 above 3ghz.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Problem
So, i just built a new pc and i bought this cooler to replace the stock one. Only problem was when i tried to put it in i must have screwed up or something because when i tried to click the 4 plugs down into the holes. The plastic on the things got bent and goofed up. I have tried squeezing them back together with needle nose pliers in order to get them to fit down there, at one point i even got 3 to click in and it was somewhat solid, but one was just down because half of the head had bent backwards. So, the cooler sat pretty firm, but it would still pivot on that axis which kinda weirded me out, i could not tell if it had full contact with the board. So, any tips. I just stuck the stock cooler on there for now. They clicked down easily with little force. Any ideas on clamping the plastic to get it to click into the holes? Anyone use this cooler? Should it pivot on that weird axis even once it is mounted, or was mine only doing that because all the plugs were not in firmly? Im not sure what to do with this cooler.

Stock Cooler And Thermal Compound
Just wondering as im going to fit a new motherboard and i want to use the same processor and heat sink. Would i need to remove the thermal compound to do this? Or could i get away with leaving the thermal on the cpu and just putting the cooler straight back on?

Cooler Master Real Power Pro 550w - How Many Case Fan It Can Handle ?
I have a cooler master 690 and cooler master real power pro 550w. How many case fan it can handle? My mobo is gigabyte ma785gm-ush. I would like to ask how many case fan it could handle? So far i already put 1 fan in the front, 1 in the bottom, 1 in the side, 2 at the top and 1 at the back total of 6 fans. And i would like to put a 80mm fan in the right side panel back of the cpu and mobo. Can it handle it? Is there any connector coming from the power supply? Or i just have too many fans for my power supply to connect?

9600 Pro Cooling / Overclock
I have a 9600 pro and i overclocked it at 450. 00 core speed and 324. 00 memory speed using radclocker. Never had a problem, ran quite well. The fan died on it after one year so i replaced it with much better fan/heatsink from vantec iceberq. Now i'm running at 475 core and 324 memory. I have been running it this fast for a long time and with no problems. But i have been told i am running it too hard and it will crap out on me soon. Is this true?

Bios Flashing A Stock Mobo
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this. I have an emachines w3653. It has a motherboard that i have identified as a ecs 945gct-m3. Emachines product support page also confirms that this is indeed the motherboard, and the ecs website has a page for it, and motherboard matches exactly from the picture and specs. What i was wondering, is it possible to flash the emachines motherboard with the bios from this page: http://www.Ecs.com. Tw/ecswebsite/products/productsdetail.aspx?Detailid=719&categoryid=1&detailname=manual&menuid=1&lanid=0
That would enable overclocking, and lots of other goodies that are of course not present in the stock emachines bios. I have flashed a few bioses in the past but they have always been simple upgrades, stock bioses that were meant for the particular board and machine exactly. I would think though that it would be safe to flash the bios with the ecs one since it is the exact same board. Any thoughts?

Upgrade Stock Psu From Dell
I need to upgrade my stock psu from dell, rated at 250w and that i needed some conversion wires. Incorrect, but i do still need a good budget psu. I would really like a 450w+ psu for under 50 dollars (shipping not included) is this unreasonable to want one thats not gonna crap out for this sum of money? Ive looked at the following psus
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817104954
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817103062
And if i go a little more expensive:
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817103931
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817103937
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817104934
And if i go even more budget:
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817103012
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.asp?Item=n82e16817103105
Regardless, im going to have to do some metal cutting on my case, 'cause crappy old dell psu doesn't have a power switch. Of course, ideally, i would get a good cheap psu that doesn't have a switch. But i'm pretty sure they dont exist. Need 20+4 pins i think my mobo has only 20 pin connection
Oh yeah, i have a:
P4 3. 0 800fsb
Sapphire ati x800gto agp
1gb cheep-ass ram
160gb hdd + 250 external
Creative sb live!
Dvd rom drive
Cd burning drive
So yah, i'm taking a risk by having a 250 watter, sooner the better for a replacement.

How To Dual Boot Clock & Stock Bios Settings ?
Has anybody come across of how to dual boot oclock & stock bios settings so that the cpu is only oclocked when needed?. I saw a write up of doing this once but cannot find it again. Also anybody using clockgen for oclocking ?.

Hard Drive In The Freezer
So i had three hard drives in my computer, a 320gig drive with my operating system, a 500gig drive for storage, and a 1 terabyte drive for storage. About a week ago my computer started acting extremely weird, and during one startup it halted and gave me a cryptic message that a drive was failing (but not which one). The next day i turned on the computer to find that the 500gig drive was not available, and i assumed that was the drive that had failed, so i popped it in the freezer to try and save some data. Several days later, my computer was still acting weird, and i got the same message. It turns out that the drive that was failing was the one with my operating system on it. I'm guessing that's why the 500gig drive went missing, because the os was being corrupted. Anyway, long story short, i have a perfectly good 500gig drive in the freezer with some data i'd like back. Are there any precautions i should take in letting it warm back up to room temperature, or have i completely hosed it by prematurely sticking it in the freezer unnecessarily?

Freezer Trick For Hard Drives
Came home from class and my pc was sitting at a boot error. I tried to boot up, and a nasty clicking sound was coming from my 600gig seagate (failed after almost exactly one year of use). I'm trying the baggie trick but before i do, i wanted to know if i had any other options. It gives a "disk error, please restart" or wte when i boot up. However, when i go to bios it does show up in the menu, etc. About the baggie freezer trick for hard drives, i know you're supposed to put it in a airtight to avoid condensation and leave it overnight. I've also from someone here that you can put a wash cloth around the hard drive after yo take it out which keeps you from accidentally shorting something, and limits the air that can get to the drive to form condensation. Also, about how much do those services cost that recover your data? Any ideas?

What's A Aftermarket Cooler ?
Whats a aftermarket cooler ? I'm so not a tech dude. Answer:-
An after-market cooler is pretty much any cooling device not made by a component's original manufacturer. An example would be taking the intel-supplied fan/heat sink off a cpu and replacing it with one made by coolermaster, an after-market company. These are sold because after-market units can be smaller, quieter, necessary for water cooling, or offer better cooling than stock units. For some people who like to display their computer's components with side window(s) in their case, after-market coolers can also be more visually pleasing than stock units.

Core Contact Freezer Bad Experience
Upon installing it, the retention clip snapped off and my thumb slammed into the fins and cut me. End result, broken cooler, blood all over my striker extreme. I'm calling sunbeam tech tomorrow and am going to give them ***. My tuniq tower (made by the same company) was never this fragile or dangerous. The build quality of the freezer is terrible, at least on the one i got. The fins were loose, the stupid retention clip snapping off while applying normal pressure, and then there's the fact the finish on the direct touch heatpipes was awful. Overall a really bad experience for me with this cooler.

Flashy Cpu Cooler - Suggestions
Im looking to purchase a new amd/am2 socket cooler. I recently purchased 2gb of crucial ballistix tarcer, and along with an antec 900, a logitech g15 and a razer diamondback mouse, i really want my first build to be flashy. So, im looking to spend upto £30, any suggestions? Im not finding much that catches my eye so far, and my bland 64 alpine isnt doing my system many favours.

Stacking Multiple Fans On Cpu Cooler
Ok, i have quite a few 60 and 80mm case fans lying around, so im wondering if stacking multiple fans on the cpu cooler would have much of an effect? For example, my 55 cfm cpu cooler fan+35cfm case fan i have= 90cfm?

Is Thermal Paste Necessary Between Cpu And Fan Cooler ?
Is it necessary to use the refrigerant cream (don't know the actual name), between the cpu and its fan cooler? Is it necessary? Cause i saw once that a guy put this cream, but now i have my unassembled pc and don't see this cream, so i must buy it or it's not necessary to put it.

Where to connect cooler master cpu heat sink fans? I'm building my 1st computer, everything is pretty straightforward except for this issue. My aftermarket heatsink (cooler master), has a three (3-pin) connector to the motherboard. The supplied intel heatsink had a four (4-pin). On my asus p6t motherboard, there is a 4-pin fan connector labeled ''cpu fan'' and a 3-pin ''power fan''. Where is my cooler master cpu heat sink supposed to be connected?

Reducing Gtx 480 Temps Without Aftermarket Cooler
Is applying different thermal paste (as or whatever) really the only way to reduce the gtx 480 temps? Has anyone modded the stock cooler any other ways? I just picked up a -ar evga gtx 480 for $195 and i'm looking at temp reduction.

Server / Cooling Rack
I have a home server (dell poweredge) which has about 6 fans and sucks in loads of air, check the motherboard today, along with fans, it has been running for about a month solid an there isnt much dust in it, but there was some around the intakes (not really insise) would a cabinet help and if so how much? Could i make one myself/ flat pack type one or am i just being paranoid, i would like to run it 24/7 without worying about dirt etc.

Cpu Cooling Fans
I'm building a basic lamp box. The cpu is a pentium d 3 ghz, middle of the road sort of chip. I'm wondering about cpu cooling fans. Is it "wise" to buy a premium fan, or will a stock intel fan do fine? There will be *no* overclocking, or similar foolishness going on here. It's a web development server. As it happens, i have a masscool 8wa740 sitting around, but the reviews at newegg are not good for this unit, so i'm giving hard thought to something else. One thing i have noticed are some fans screw down, and some have plastic snaps. I'm not a fan of plastic snaps. Any suggestions?

Active Ram Cooling
I've heard that the ocz gold vx get really hot. So i went looking for a way of cooling them with a fan, and i found this idea to be interesting: what about mounting a small fan inside of the case to blow directly between the ram sticks? It doesn't seem all that hard, has anyone done this before and how exactly would i tell the temp of the ram sticks? (Dont have any temp probes)

Custom Cooling System
I've got 6 blue led case fans, 80mm, one good quality 92mm fan, 3 40mm fans, and 2 or 3 moree 80mm plain black case fans. For my custom rig, i'm looking for custom place fans and was wondering what would be the best placement of these fans. I'm thinking 2 exhaust on the back, two front intake (one on the top above the cd drive, one below, or maybe two below if i can fit it and two above), one or two side intake, one ducted to ram, and blow hole exhaust on the top - any ideas on how i can put the fans to make my cooling as efficient as possible? I can place fans just about anywhere.

Hard Drive Cooling Tips
Just picked up a 1 tb hard drive, i just wanted to keep it cool, any tips? It's on the bottom of 2 other hard drives but spaced out a little bit. I was thinking of just putting a fan or something behind it. Any tips?
