2C difference is a LOT from different fans.........that would mean the difference between passing 1M 20-30MHz......as a bencher you are always fighting for every last MHz...Quote:

Wow that things huge! Sweet :toast:
The clips are stronger than they look, but I still definitely wouldnt dare try and moving the thing unless it was on its side the whole time. Installation required sanding down of the stock northbridge heatsink (the mounting mechanism collided with the retention bracket when being tightened, but not during normal usage), and a pair of neeldenose pliers to reach the cabling. Otherwise, no serious problems.Quote:

Are the heatpipes making real good contact with the base? I can't find any good pictures of that..
Sixty fins? 10 heatpipes? :woot: That should be the sweetest thing around :banana: :banana:

:eek: nice!
anybody knows how the infinity compares to a noctua nh12 of thermalright ultra 120? all should be better than a corsair cool and cheaper, just wondering what's the best air cooler out.
nevermind a nice comparison of air coolers here :)http://babelfish.altavista.com/babel...iew_604_7.html
Erm.. wait.. thirty fins?Quote:

The whole better temps with a stronger fan on the TTBT probably was strongly contributed by me:
My fairly well documented thread.
I finally topped out the TTBTs performance with the sidewinder delta 120x76 counterrotating fan. At 2x1600rpms or above I get no more performance benefit.
Personally, I think that companies should produce high performance high density heatsinks for folks like me who are fine with a 120mm fan at 1600rpms.

yeah you're the guy i was referring to with better fans just couldn't find that link :D nice work btwQuote:

I remember that the temps between idle and load are not that different on core 2 duo , well it was very much like that with the Freezer pro iused for a E6300 at 2.76 ghz , idle 39 and load 43c
You must have got a special edition freezer pro. With my freezer pro I get 59 degrees for a dual prime load temp. That is with my e6400 at 2.67 ghz.Quote:

ALso does your fins feel hot , all i can feel on mine is its cold , really cold.Quote:

Ben
I haven't tried touching the fins to see how they feel. I have remounted it and the temps remain the same. The discrepancy in the temps could be what program the individual uses to monitor the temps. I use Intel's IDCC. At idle I stay in the mid 40's but I don't have my fan running full blast all the time, the fan only kicks up speed when needed. At idle my fan is running around 700 rpm's and at load it goes up to around 2000 rpm's.Quote:

Die shrink doesnt always mean more heat, your thinking cause there is less surface area to contact heatsink, well the die shrink is done and they run with less volts than previous gen cpus, that how it works, the amd64 now dont run as hot as old thunderbirds, cause they use far less volts than 1.75v.
Obv all this is at stock overclocking is up to the user not the maker of new cpu's, but as its got less volts to start out with you do get more headroom.
I think we all know new amd cpus even bartons (keeping with same 32bit) overclocked far better than old thunderbirds.
Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee , just got one today
Infinity will fit on Gigabyte DS4?
Yes it's large and heavy but most of the weight is in the base.Quote:

However it'll be fine for normal use. The push pin mounting system is excellent but it can be unforgiving. The instructions must be followed exactly and forget about any chance of installation/removal installed in a case.
The push pin heads must be armed in the lock position. The push pins must the pulled out as far out as possible. Then you need to push in opposite corners until they click (ie lock). Now do the other 2 opposite corners. Now turn the MB over and make sure all 4 black pins have gone all the way thru their cylinder.
(for a P5W DH make sure you clear the square black IC's directly above the socket). Remove about 1 mm from the extrusion until the edge is flush with the mounting bar.
now im wondering whether or not to buy a Scythe Infinity... i heard theyre really hard to install
Hard???Quote:

However modifications might be needed on Asus MB's for clearance.
