775 Heatsink Fan?

[[GSV]Trig]

Just got the stock job on there atm, idles at about 33oC jumps to about 49oC loaded.

Dont want owt noisey or that I have to take the bloody board out with, just something a bit cooler and quiter than stock.

Those temps are pretty good for the stock cooler mate.

I have a Thermalright SI-128 for sale which should drop them even further and it will happily run with a silent fan.

Quietest HS/Fan i have used with the 775's is the Artic Freezer 7 Pro.
Also holds my system at 45 Degrees under load.

Really?
My old X2 4400 ran at about 28 idle and 35 load...

Depending on your budget, the arctic cooler 7 is good for about £15. But for a bit more any of the scythe coolers will be more effective or the tuniq tower 120 is the best air cooler at the moment.

They will all be quieter than stock and way cooler

I dont work to budgets on simple things like heatsinks

[DratUK]

the Artic cooling will still be effective. I have a similar case Lian Li A10 with a top blower as per the P180. Temps on my 6600 are 27 idle ambient temp 24 deg 36 to 37 full load. Highest I have had is after/during 4 hours of Orthos when it hit 45 deg. My vote Artic Pro.

If you want cool and quiet, the cheap way may be to go Arctic Cooler and put one of those resistor things on the fan lead to slow it down.

Other then that, I think its time to look at the Scythe products.

Why?????
Its a 92mm fan and run slowly, even at full speed!

Artic Cooler Pro.

No backplate installation needed afaik. Comes with heatspread material pre-applied. Just clean up your old one and plonk this on instead.

id recommend the scythe ninja plus, it is huge and gives amazing cooling. You can either run it with the fan, but if you have very good system ventilation you could run it passively and it will still do a great job. Does require slightly more complex fitting but nothing to be afraid of.

AC 7 Pro here too. very happy with it. Overclocked E6600 sits at about 41C under 80% load (two cores of Folding at Home running 24/7)

Yes really

Its one of the things that puzzled me for a while when I moved over to C2D from an Opty 165, they were supposed to run cooler, yet my 6600 was running slightly hotter at stock volts, under quality water cooling than my overclocked opty. This turned out to be partly because my board reports the temps as around 6c higher than they actually are, and also that C2D uses a digital temp sensor in the cpu.

Either way, those temps are fine for C2D and stock cooler so dont worry

Artic Freezer 7 Pro- Seconded.

Im getting 38c idle with it but thats my own fault.. Rear 120m fan is pushing heat back to the Heatsink... either way its a Silent amazing cooler.

*Update* 27C idle, will check load temperatures now.

tuniq's or scythe Ninja/Infinity are good

[Flewis]

like people have said, the Arctic is good, but not the best. The tuniq tower-120 is the current air cooling king followed closely by scythe's products. The Arctic is the current quality budget cooler.
