Expect better thermals when Skinnee is finished, what overclocker uses 1000RPM fans?

On that note, did you guys know that there are Gentle Typhoon 2150s?

Ya, but they're 28mm too small for most radiators these days... I'll stick with 1850's.

Yah, the 92mm thing that you see, don't worry about that. The 120mm ones haven't been released to the public yet. I have my sources.

I do! My build is primarily about silence and cooling comes in second. I run low speed Yate Loon fans at around 10~11V. My setup keeps my i5 @ 4.2ghz idling in the low 30s and hitting low 40s at full load. My DDC is also throttled to around 3000rpm.

Nice!

Not in the markey yet, but some people at OCN going to buy them at wholesaler http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling...e-come-if.html.

**Alexandr0s** · 07-21-2010, 03:07 AM

The specsheet of Nidec Servo (original manufacturer of the GT's) has been around for a couple of months now. I believe the specs went up to 3000RPM. However, unless Scythe will add them to their collection, the only way to get them is indeed to people such as wholesalers.

**Church** · 07-21-2010, 03:28 AM

Now if it would be possible to get 140mm GTs in similar way

I'm not too crazy about adding the restrictive VGA water blocks to my loop, I will go by what Skinnee reports, it's not like I was able to read how many times the german reviewer remounted the blocks. I bet if the german reviewer had used at least a 1600RPM fan the results would have been different, who uses a Black Ice SR1 anyways? I think Thermochill should be used as the standard because it suffers from hardly any pressure drop and performs well with low to medium as well as 2000RPM fans!

I think it's interesting they used a SR1. Some folks out there (including me) aren't too crazy about running fans > 1000-1500 rpms due to fan noise. According to Bundy, the SR1s are one of the top rads for fans running at that speed.

I own a Black Ice SR1, mostly because it's one of the best performing rad's for low speed fans and for it's amazing build quality. I have the computer next to my head essentially when I sleep, so low fan speed is important. It was neat to see how my rad did in pretty much the same circumstance as what I'll put mine through.

Hi ! Welcome to XS, where some people also overclock in silence.
All my fans run around 900 rpm.

I do, so do a lot of people, especially in europe where SR1 is easily available in most shops.

herefore, we issue a 1-year ban to all the people involved: AndreYang, Hiwa, eXtremetweaker.de, KJ and Skinnee.

**p2501** · 07-22-2010, 02:43 AM

Check post one, he's banned already. Good thing he has his own site so we still can read the review when it's done.

Yeah XS is getting quite deserted, everyone has their own sites now..

**Church** · 07-22-2010, 03:28 AM

Browsing in LC shops for new products noticed this wierdness. I'm guessing that it probably will be something like corsair H50 with LC only in name not performance with almost same performance as stock cooling.

You've summed it up well

there's some review here:

Click

Although the conclusion is favourable for the product, to me personally it's pointless...

Such a small improvement for that kind of money

IMHO if one is not going for a custom loop, much better solution is something like AC Accellero Xtreme (I've modded my GTX 260 GS in past to fit it and it dropped my temps from 65C load to 42C and all that for ~ £40).

**Alexandr0s** · 07-22-2010, 03:52 AM

I remember a few people not being big fans of CoolIt, mostly due to leaking systems I believe.
