difficulty and the right choice-aircooling for Thuban

[duron]

My next air cooler will be 3Rsystem Iceage 120 Boss II, real beast for oc on air, first place at FrostyTech

@Cele303
i've already gotten a Clone of that here in HK
it's from AYWUN, i guess this OEM/ ODM thing is spreading out these kinda stuff

From my experience with Istanbul I can't see cooling thuban being a major issue.

I've not overclocked or anything but under load and water I don't see temps much high that 28c on the first CPU in my loop. Its 32c on the second CPU as well according to everest. I think you'll probably be able to get the most out of your thuban with a good aircooler and a bit more with water.

Be interested to see if thuban likes the cold as much as the current AM3 lineup.

some more we have not here and too at xtremesystems news:+500 MHz turbocore up?!

guys, ever tried a Japanese HS ?
I'd tried one b4 named "Ninja" & that works as good as my Thermalright 120ex....& no powerful fan needed

A new model "XASXA" was sent to me for testig. It has 6 copper heat pipes, OTB fan with speed controller & enhanced outlook
Gonna try some serious torture tests for that HS..HeHeHe

[duron]

^
they also have a pure copper of that version but be careful or you could loose a finger or two lol
seems like lots of sharp edges

[demonkevy666]

frozencpu has those already $54.95 not bad price but I wonder if it can beat a Mugen 2 ?
1 more heat pipe, less mass and fins

inb4 thermodynamics lol

[PatRaceTin]

how about Prolimatech Armageddon

[FlanK3r]

Istnabul R10 64-bit...so, if Thuban will simillary, than at 4GHz will score about 4375x5.68 = 24 850B ! (between 22-26 000)

That's only a renamed EKL Nordwand, which has been in the market for quite long actually.

Ok, today next component for my bench configuration. X4 965 will " HTPC", benchmarking with new era, still the main only aircooling, but im promise, this year we will see my first LN2 action (il test think my x4 955 or maybe Zosma chip). Thanks for advice or little recommendation CrazyDiamond. Ooo yes, Xigmatek 1283 Dark Knight and Ultra Kaze 3000 rpm :

[crazydiamond]

cool, notice any difference in load temps?

[FlanK3r]

I dont know now, cause i want this cooler for Thuban and im so bored changing it at x4 965 . Wait 1.5 months

[ridney]

still planning thuban on air? i certainly think it needs water

[FlanK3r]

no, Thuban is not hot, know it ....so yes, still air . maybe sometimes phase. I hope for 4 Ghz stable with air and trying 4600 MHz valiadation (with Deneb air only 4570 MHz )

something is odd here.
the istanbul based opteron, whose results were already posted earlier, had a speedup of 5,68, while this one only has 4,58.
the results for the 32-bit CB bench are lower than for 64bit, i'm aware of that, but the speedup is comparable iirc.

and btw., EKL is not the odm/oem of their heatpipe coolers, they are just selling them under their label.
you can find all coolers of the EKL lineup at other brands as well.

[crazydiamond]

the 4.58x speedup is cuz of turbo feature, single thread performance is at 1x3.3ghz, multithread is 6x2.8ghz i believe

Well, I haven't buy it anyway, Noctua NH-D14 is in the house, superb cooler, better than my EK 300€ water cooling

Noctua vs box cooler

[FlanK3r]

And what about RAMs guys? I need help with new DDR3 RAMs for Thuban....(Kingston, OCZ, Patriot and which? Not much expensive, but with good OC potencial :-) )

really? how?

[FlanK3r]

Cele: my god, so big and nice cooler. Ideal for max AIR OC, what changed with new cooler and max stabil OC?

[Cele303]

Tomasis, for now quick comparison in idle, 4.0GHz cpu temp Big Typhoon 36°C, water setup 32°C, Noctua 28°C...

FlanK3r, my first reaction when I saw the box was WTF?! Huge cooler! Just looking at him is very impressive!

I'm benching right now, I want to find the best combination with two rigs, H50 with i7 920 at 3.8 is bad, people say 4.2 with noctua np, so I want to find out what is the best possible option for me, better gaming or better working rig... Possible problem is Antec midi tower, it is ok with A+ big tower so I have to think what to do... Anyway, I think Thuban will be happy with Noctua when he comes, that's for sure!

Few pics

[Tomasis]

cel303, interesting, im waiting for your bench results, temp etc big size is annoying for me but I guess there is room for compromises. can u check the height of noctua so i can see if it can fit in my case :P

[imamage]

I wonder if my Ultra 120 Extreme with Silverstone FM122 will handle Thuban well ( I am looking for 3.2GHz Top model )
From my previous experience with Phenom x4 9850BE (125W TDP) and 9950BE (125W TDP) , it handles "Okay" and keep the full load CPU under 65C
