Zxian Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 The world's best case won't do jack if there are large IDE cables blocking airflow. I'm not saying that his P180 is like that, but you can't assume that the same case will perform the exact same as yours does.

I'm not saying that his P180 is like that, but you can't assume that the same case will perform the exact same as yours does.well if its clean it will i spent soo much time getting my cables as perfect as possible, the result is amazing airflow and amazingly low temps. i hate that ide cable tho, i really want a sata drive just to get rid of that.
KamiQuazi Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Well I have round ide cables and sata drives and all my cables are round. I use my upper hdd area btw. lol and yes i also cleaned up my case. great air flow
KamiQuazi Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.a...71&code=014i used to use this one and it worked very wellSo this will work on my NB? I hope so, I'm about to place an order for it.
puntoMX Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I would rather have something with a fan. I let the Zalman ripken showedWhy did you change your mind?Any way, go with something bigger then the cooler you linked too, did you see the cooler I linked?

RJARRRPCGP Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Intels have a lower thermal rating than AMDs! 70C is too high. Expect an automatic slowdown and if it gets too higher, expect your processor to possibly turn into 400 mhz!

bonestonne Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 thats actually wrong. AMD's are cooler than Intel in terms of wattage, which is what matters most.also, if you use Speedstep, the systems noise is determined by the heat of the CPU.oh, and its not all that common for a CPU to reduce its speed because of heat, its normally just the heatsink fan picking up. i have seen cores reduce their clocks though...especially when its been on for extended periods of time with little stress.
puntoMX Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Bonestone, iNTEL has that feature build in from the Pentium 4, so it´s normal that it lowers the speed.The AMD Athlon S462 just cracked up ore smoked up . Loved the AMD over iNTEL in those times...
RJARRRPCGP Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 non-overclocked AMDs of that generation were rated for 85C and possibly 90C.
puntoMX Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Well, okay, I wan´t clear enough.I was talking about when you don´t use cooling or the fan dies of the active-cooler . The 1333/1400MHz Athlons were the hotest indeed.
KamiQuazi Posted July 21, 2007 Author Posted July 21, 2007 Sorry I haven't been around. My ISP lost power and I didn't have a connection.
