Well, got too lazy to wait for cooling for my Presler so I went out and bought some silly Zalman thing. There's the setup installed. Started out at 12*266=3.2GHz and raised the multi until it crapped out while leaving at stock vcore of 1.3V - it managed to make 4.26GHz before it hit troubles. Already idling at 50C - looks like the presler is too much for this silly little zalman thing. No net there yet (cbf installing stuff - so not easy getting screenies - I'll take a photo of the monitor when something interesting comes (nice big 27" LCD so should be fine)). Testing how far the FSB goes now - at 350*12 atm. @ 350FSB
Excellent. So P5WD2 Premium does support 9** series after all. wwwww what BIOS revision mate? Asus suggested after 0519 all 9** series CPU's work. I just flashed 0606 on mine ready for a Presler.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8868868 Did a quick 01 bench - got a clean 35k. Card at 690/800.
28.9 seconds in PI 1M. Yeah there's some discretely placed fan in the sink itself - not gonna bother switching it with a Delta 'cause the liquid cooling is coming hopefully soon.
Just seeing how far the fsb will go. @366FSB http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8869753 Alright 700 points off the Dothan's record - keep in mind the card is at stock. and some 370FSB runs: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8263/3704zv.jpg
Typhoon is worse, the heatpipes can't transfer the heat fast enough. Just like the Zalman, the base get's really friggin hot and the rest of the cooler stays not far from ambient. Got a swiffy storm + bix 120 + some low profile swiffy pump on its way. PCCG taking their time though. But dual core is awesome, I'm running a 32M bench atm whilest playing a movie on another monitor for some guests... 24.9minutes 32M
Sorry man but the typhoon is arguably the best Air cooling Heatsink on the market the only thing in contest with it is the Scythe but if you put a 120mm Panaflow 114CFM on the Typhoon then your joking if you think it cant beat the zalman flower.
I'm not saying it can't - I'm saying it's just as bad. A 114CFM panaflow ain't gonna help. The heat is being trapped at the base. The Presler generates far too much heat for 6 heatpipes. I dunno about the Scythe, but the only thing I tried that cooled my smithfield below 40C on load was the Swiftech MCX775 with a 120mm Delta. Kept it under 38C load @ 3.8GHz.
Zalman Flower.... The cooler wwwww is using... Maybe you guys were just having joke but i couldn't tell and there is a big difference between the two... Most reviews i have read suggest that the CNPS-9500 gives the BT a good run for its money... at least at noise levels that wont wake the dead...
haha bs it's quiet *cough*MAY have strapped a Delta to it*cough* http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=65255 Seems it's max clock on air. http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8870419
Sorry got the two mixed up, but I meant the other zalman not the flower I dont know where you read the review on the Big Typhoon but it does Not have any problems with heat transfer from the base to the heat pipes. And the presler would be hotter than prescotts right? EDIT: The Big Typhoon's fan is 16db buddy, thats crazy quiet.
I didn't read it - tested it on a Smithfield a while ago. Heatpipes are the worse thing since Daytona vid cards. Gas moving heat? Might as well get a fan blowing from an un-finned base.
It may be a great cooler for things like single core pressies, X2s, or even a smithfield at stock, but pump more heat into it and the temps go right up (roughly @ the 160W area temps go from around 45C to 60C). 54.5C max load on a single core, other core playing music.
