Scythe Infinity arrived today

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes, it should fit the Ultra-D fine. The infinity uses the stock mounting bracket, so it shouldn't hit anything.

I suppose replacing the fan is up to you, I have plenty of airflow in my case so i'm not to worried about it. I have not replaced the fan, nor do i know anyone that has. The gain may be minimal at best, like replacing the fan on the TT BT.


I don't know how it will fit in your case, its hard to tell by the pictures i have atm but the HS comes close, i'd say within an inch or 1 1/2inch of hitting the side panel. Thats how massive this cooler is.

I'm busting out the dremel tonight and getting this sucker fixed.

exactly what part of it needs fixing? Is it an issue everyone will have? And does it come with its own backplate? thanks!!


EDIT: I just checked out the online manual and it looks like the infinity uses the stock clips for installing on socket 939. In theory, that means installing the infinity should be as easy as installing the AMD stock cooler for 939.....CRAZY!!! can anyone conforim this?

Not sure what you mean by that, i only gained 1-2c when installing a 130cfm fan on the BT.

Rez,
I cannot say if the problem I am having is something everyone will experiance. I think on a s939 mobo you should be fine as like I said, it uses the stock mounting bracket. Therefor, where I am hitting should be inside of the stock mounting brackets area. (where there is nothing to hit).

RVD,
If your going to make a comment at least make it clearer.

I lost nearly 5+C idle alone, and gained 200+ mhz.

70C, that's bad right?

Did the remount fix the problem?

70C is criminal and the engineers at scythe should be arrested :D :D

I havn't gotten home yet to fix the problem.

I'm almost positive my temps will drop dramatically once the mounting issue is resolved.

sma,
Looks that way.

So where's the pics? :stick:

:banana: :banana: :banana:

Edit: When did everybody post the second and third page? Lol damn forums :slap:

:slapass:

I'll have some new pics shortly, just got my cam back.

Also, ground more off the HS and its NOT hitting now, however I still am seeing the same temps. :confused: Also ordered some AS Creamiqe as i'm out of thermal paste.

I guess you probably don't need another person saying 70c is high but :wasntme: Damn 70c is way too high :wasntme:

3 heatpipes vs 5 and both carry a 120mm fan.

The Tuniq Tower has almost twice as many fins.. I guess you have to cool the 30 fins on the Infinity as fast as you cool 60 fins on the Tuniq and it should be better (more heatpipes).

Plus you can put 120x38mm fans! :D :D

The Infinity LGA775 push-pin system was a pain in the ass to use, IMHO. But, I suppose all other LGA775 push-pin heatsinks are the same too. Without further ado, here are some pics!

Thanks for the pics Jinobi!

What are your temps like with the settings you are running?

For more temps and pics, I shall humbly refer to this:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=111897

At the moment, I'm running a E6600 @ 2.4Ghz stock. I get 31C idle. Still waiting for XP to install, so I'll keep ya posted.

Is it possible to mount the Infinity the other way? With the longer section going North-South instead of the East-West direction you have it with. I only use the rear exhaust and leave the top exhaust on my P180 empty, so that would make more sense for me.

You can, and the pic from DarkOneX confirms it:

Thanks. One more question, do you know the clearance of the motherboard PCB to the first fin of the Infinity? The ninja is about 50mm or 2 inches. Is the Infinity the same?

Could anyone please explain exactly what needs to be done n the P5W DH delux to make it fit? I got scared when I heard dremel, but a little bit calmer when you said minimal mod. Pics on where we need to mod maby?

How does the temperature compares to Tuniq Tower, if you own both, lets compare :toast:

humm... will likely want to be mounting that thing as to align with with the exhause fan... PSU can also circulate air towards the general area...


now all i need to know is if it will work with the DFI's lanparty board based on RD600

looks as if it should be able to clear the ram, though I'm worried about the HSF over the chipset HS(if it clears the ram thoguh it shoudl be abel to clear that smll HS but...), it looks liek the cooler they use voerlaps it and clears but still...

Ditto, all parts arrived today, P5W DH, E6600, 2GB Corsair 8500C5, Scythe Infinity

Scared of the dremel seems the way I want to mount it (fan opposite rear exhaust of case) it is going to touch some capacitors :-/

That's just eye ball view until chip is installed later at home... whoops 5pm TIME TO GO build this bad boy. 2X7900 GTX cards going in and RAID 0 Raptors looking for some >11000 3dmarks06 and looking forward to NO MORE Affinity setting! Hello Intel Core 2 Duo welcome to my home.

Since I plan on placing the fan so that it blows the air into the exhaust, which mounting way is better for me? The Jinobi way or the DarkOneX way?

Hey Wes, I just noticed you are running the same case I have....the Ultra Aluminus. Do you like it? I really like mine alot.

Sorry for the OT. BTW, double prime at 1.5v air cooled on the Asus may not be all that far off. Conroes read high on all the current 975 boards.

here are some pictures...

sorry to those in Europe, American only measurements here...

hope this helps anyone trying to figure out if the cooler will fit
