Hi all, I ordered mach 2 gt before 2 weeks and he is nit still in my PC :( And because it is my first phase cooling so I feel very delight :slobber: I have 4000+@2800 for prime stable, what do you think what I will able to get from him vith mach2gt?? I have read a lot of about phase cooling and specialy about mach2gt, do you think it is good cooling for 24/7 PC?? How is it noisier than normal Pc with air cooling?? And how high voltages I can use with mach2gt fro my 4000+??
Thanks for help ;)

I'm interested in this myself. The overall conclusion I got was that vapos+machs are good enough for daily use. Cept that the machs are a lot louder than vapos? Can anyone confirm this?

Vapo LS is louder than Mach II GT. Fan noise in Mach is bit louder (higher speed fan) but real kicker is Vapo LS has compressor that is tad noisey to begin with... (nothing like some custom unit built with Matus*h*i*t*a though. To me vapo LS has unacceptable noise level. For some others it is.
Only thing is Mach II GT might come out more expensive with the lian-li kit by $100 or so and vapo LS having better mounting mechanism (one of the best there is on mounting)
For modding in future, Mach just is flat out better as compressor is more capable.

Can the fan in the mach 1 be adjusted?

Im now running aprox 6 months my 3800+ 24/7 with a mach II , still no problems :)
To give u an idea with boxed cooling my 3800+ did max 2800mhz @ 1.6v ( very hot ) , with mach II it runs 3000Mhz @ 1.425v :D

We all know that cpu's arent the same but now u know colder is better ;)

My mach II is quieter than my case fans for sure. I can't hear it over the racket from a 6800GT either. They're pretty good except for start up noise.

Yes its good for 24/7 as long as you follow the instructions when mounting the cpu kit. If you do not do it right you can get condensation. Never had a problem myself.

I feel that the Mach 2 GT CPU kits are more safe in terms of locking out moisture compared to the Vapo CPU kits. And I have been using the Mach 2 GT for 1 year now 24/7 at with my Intel 660 clocked at 4.7GHz without a problem. Very happy with the Mach 2s.

Yes I will follow the instructions, because this my fist phase coolin so I am little bit scared of condensation. But I didnt find any instructions on any www, do you know any www here can I get instruction for mounting my mach 2gt?? I want to be ready when he arrived :D Do not think that I am crazy ,but I am really like small child which is waiting for Xmas ;)

So I am back. yesterday come to me and after 5 hours mounting He is ready. I have a few question ;) On display mach II GT is temperature during 100% Load -48 Celsius , I know so it is about -38 Celsius ,but Speed Fan show me from -1 to -4, so are all softwares like speed fan, smart guardian and motherboard monit bad?? I have DFI Lan Party nF4 Ultra Sli D.

255 in Smartgardian is = -1° ( its a bug )
240 = -16° ( for example )

The cpu is -1 , that is because the cpu generate's a lot off heat ( 4000+ @ 3100 @ 1.71v stressed)

Yes I understand it, so what temperature do you think are the beste from which software?? I know that the best is plant electronic meter on the cpu, but I vave not got any. And do you think this temperature which I have got are normal for mach II gt and 4000@3100 1,7? So do you think I have good contact between vapo and cpu?? THX for reply..
P.S.: I mounted it first time so I am little bit scared about it :slobber:

You have very good contact with CPU. That is what mach II get will do :)
46 PWM with condition above.... Man... must be cool there or lot of fans blowing around :P

Yeah I know it was after mouting mach II gt and I hadnt there my heatsink and blowing fun on PWM. Now is PWM max 42 celsius ;)
Thanks now I can be happy that I manage mounting mach II on first time very good ufffffffffffAnd do you think that ceramic will be realy better, because I ordered one but it is on way to me , so I used thermo paste which was in package with Mach II gt. Do you think that I have to replace this with ceramic when it get to me??
I have a problem with temperature on chipset, I give there new fan from Arctic ,but it is still going on 50 celsisus during load :(
