Dual AMD Athlon

case temp is 35DegC. fans are Coolermaster XDream HAC-V81. 2 of them. im
looking now at water cooling. my machine is on 24/7 as much as posible
running Seti@home. i had to turn it off last night becasue it was hitting
70deg. Any ideas on how to fix this? Water cooling the right way to go?

Case temp of 15C!?

It's June! Where the hell are you? Antarctica?

First thing I'd do is pull the cover off and see how much temps drop. If
they drop considerably, I'd focus on the case airflow. Might even consider
ducts to holes in cover. If they didn't drop much, then I'd look at new
cpu coolers or more powerful fans. I assume you have the fans on full
power. I wouldn't even consider water unless noise is a factor. If you do.
you'll need a good water system for 2 cpu's and it won't be cheap. A
couple of very good air coolers like the SLK series would be a lot
cheaper. The original Xdream is decent, but far from the best.

Well noise is not a major concern, but water cooling seems to be the
way to go. since the system is so big and power hungry, i think water
cooling will be an idea and a half. i have taken the case off and the
heat doesent drop much. im not sure why. there are some photos of the
machine, and other things, here
(http://www.lotas-smartman.net/photos...p?g=Computers). the
20030705 is the one with the main pics of the system. i have spend
about 20Eur on each fan. water cooling is going to cost me about 300
EUR. it will also last me a lot longer then new heat sinks and fans as
if i get a new chip, ill need new fans. if i get one with the water
cooling, i wont. well, i may need something, but not a lot.

yep it's the middle of winter here :-(
And I have a lot of air flow in this case, and the heat from the dual amds
is nice in winter ;-)
But in january it gets to 35c. the case is at about 39c and the cpus are at
64c folding

Hi:

I can't make out those HSFs, but they aren't working properly. If you can't
get them to cool those CPUs better I'd suggest getting a couple of
Thermaltake Volcano 10 or better HSFs. They're relatively cheap and perform
well. If the HSFs you have are half as efficient as they look, maybe you
have something wrong with the mounting.

If you are experienced and find this following advice too simplistic, just
ignore it:
1) Remove any thermal pads and install thermal paste instead.
2) If you already have thermal paste ensure you are only using a very thin
coat
3) You may want to lap the heatsink, some have hollows right where the CPU
contacts the surface.

Good luck, Rick

hmmm. im looking at getting a couple of Aero 7+ coolers. I seen them
somewhere (all mentioned here ->
http://blog.lotas-smartman.net/archi...12.php#000512). They look pretty
cool. They are fully copper and i was told the silver stuff is good. any
experiance with these?

Hi Lotas,
I'm using an aero 7+ in place of a Volcano7

The Aero 7+ is supposed to be the top performing cooler. Haven't tried on
yet myself. Thermal compounds are all about the same. Plenty of marketing
stuff goes around though.:-)

my question, RD, is the aero 7 too heavy. i was in peats
(www.peats.ie) and they have the aero 7 and maplin (www.maplin.co.uk)
have the volcano 7. the aero 7 seems heavier then the volcano 7. both
are about the same price and i could get either. RD, are you using
this on a Dual board or a single? if your using it on a single, anyone
using it on a dual.
