got a xp-120 on a prescott 775

[Meridius]

hi all got a xp-120 on 775 motherboard
3.6 @ 4

its only 4c to 5c cooler than my stock at load
but my stock fan ran at 2700rpm and my enermax 120mm fan on my
sp-120 runs at 1997rpm nearly a 702 difrance in fan speed
so this is maybe why its not getting much cooler than before i might have to put a better rpm fan on but dont want to go to high as i like the low sound levels

@ all would 700rpm in fan diffrance make much diffrance how much c would you think it would go down to if i put in a fan that ran 2700rpm on the sp-120

stock ran at 50c to 68c fan at 2700rpm
sp-120 ran at 50c to 64c fan at 1997rpm

would changeing the fan to a 2700rpm mack much diffrance and if it did how much heat would i get less

oh using artic silver 5 to

also what are the max temps of these chips what can thay handle max heat before you should worrie waht fo intel say on this ???

If you got a fan running that roughly is 2700RPM I would guess around 4-5C cooler which could translate into another 100-150mhz on overclock if my math does me right.

so @ the same fan speed as the stock i would get 8c cooler with this new heatsink and a fan running at 2700rpm

so the xp-120 beats the stock cooler by 8c at the same speed fan

well my friend has orderd a

Panaflo 120M1A 120x38mm - Low Noise - 2/3-pin - 86cfm 35.5dB(A) - super quiet at 7V

so i will stick that one on and see what happens as the enermax fan said max speed 2300 but it dont even get that even out the case with nothing on the fan it got 2050 max

i hope the panaflo ratings are more close to there spec

so you think a 700rpm would knock of as much as 5c

Yea Ive done a couple experiements with 120mm fans with the xp-120 and the rpms do help, it is possible to knock off 5C with the extra 700RPM. GLuck with your chip, Also try experimenting with reversing the fan so it sucks away from the heatsink instead of blowing into.

hi all i tried fitting a 120mm case fan to the rear as my antec case lets me fit one that size its just the one that came with it and hardly pushes air but i thought i might as well try it out.

i tried the fan sucking air out got about 1c less, then i got the fan to push cool air in from the back and got a 2c to 3c cooler cpu the case temp just says the same strange .

when at load the heatsink is hot so it must be fited ok as it gets hot so the only thing i can think of is the enermax 120mm just dont cut it.

it supposed to push 93cfm which is bull as it says it go`s up to 2300rpm but i can only get mine to go as far as 1998rpm so its 300rpm under spec, all i can say is dont get these fans for the heatsink.

I might use this fan for the intake at the back as i have a panaflo 120mm on order its the 35db version 86cfm i think but can not find what the rpms are on this fan do`s anyone know

well i`ll lewt you know what happens woth the new fan when i get it also i am interested in the thunderblade 120mm fan you can adjust it from 1500rpm to 4500rpm so that might be tempting dont know

let you all know later thanks
