Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX Heatsink Fan

[Anusha]

That noise levels of the fan is wrong (it's not your fault, ok). I checked the fan and the manufacturer of the fan rates it at 37.5dB Liars!!!

I'm also INTEL but not IDIOT OUTSIDE

If you say so

 

[chaminga_d]

It is TheEverflow fan (F121225SM) is rated for up to 86.5 CFM and 34 dBA at 2,000 rpm when operating at 12V

 

[Anusha]

No dude, not you! The other guy..

Oops. Small misunderstanding.,,

I saw that article too, but if you follow that link to the manufacturer of the fan, you'll see it's rated at 37.5dB

I think so. The noise doesn't increase when the CPU becomes heavily loaded.

Oh u have core 2 processor. Those pics mean that processor is energy saving processor than other intel processors neda.?

My processor is 3.0GHz HT, So when its fully loaded fan is increase to 2000RPM +/-. Errrrr. Its produce very big noise.

You didn't know I have a Core 2 Duo? Oh well....

Yes, they are energy saving CPUs. I didn't think it would reach 60C on full load though Maybe this stock heatsink is not very good. But I wouldn't buy something else, unless I buy a motherboard that can overclock my CPU. My current motherboard doesn't let me overclock. However, I got the RAM from 667MHz to 800MHz without increasing the voltage or loosening the timings.

Y? Did you bought an OEM mobo???

 

[Anusha]

No, no. This is an Intel (DG965RY) in the Classic Series. This was the only motherboard I could find for the cash in hand + I needed integrated video as I didn't buy a video card until three weeks had passed.

Thing is, I wasn't gonna buy a Core 2 Duo in the first place. I was looking for the AthlonX2 3800+ because then I could use the two 512MB DDR400 and the two 160GB PATA HDDs I had. Since I couldn't find an AMD, I went with this E6300 platform. Gigabyte's 965P-DS3 was mouth watering, but it was about Rs.5000 expensive without integrated video. Anyway, I will upgrade the motherboard once I find enough money.

You do that! (soon)

 

[Anusha]

No. Not soon. I might not have enough money to buy a new motherboard, at least until February. It might be delayed further as well. Because, who knows if it will overclock significantly? I don't want to overclock just to 2.4GHz or something. I need to hit 3GHz. Otherwise, it's not money well spent.

But when the 965P-S3 or 965P-DS3 prices come down to less than 10,000 range, then I might go for it, even for a mere overclock. (mere in terms of the overclockability of a E6300 - people have reached 3.6GHz on some chips)

Besides, I don't need that much processing power right now. More RAM is what I need.

To hit 3GHz you'll need to do sumthin abt coolling as well

 

[Anusha]

Not really. You only need to increase the vcore slightly, and I think the stock heatsink can handle it. Anyway, I might go for a 3rd party cooler.
3GHz is not extreme overclocking for a Core 2 Duo.

Ohh, I hate that Intel stock HSF!

 

[Anusha]

Ohh, I hate that Intel stock HSF!

Who doesn't? But it's better than nothing. I mean, for E6300 at stock speeds, it's more than enough.

 

[dpg]

Well, yeah...

 

[Anusha]

Well, yeah...

I wonder if the E6700 gets the same stock heat sink. If so, then it's not that bad.

 

[Anusha]

I just read that this is the same cooler than comes for Prescott CPUs, which use more than twice the power of E6300 at stock voltage/speed. I think the stock HSF can keep up with a 3GHz Core 2 Duo.

Not sure abt that, but i found this\/

It is impressive to find so much overclocking headroom in these Core 2 Duo processors, and that is headroom that does not require water-cooling. Using nothing more than the XP-120, which might I add is a rather old but trusted heatsink from Thermalright, and a quiet 120mm fan, the E6700 was more than happy to hum along to the tune of 3.66GHz.
