Ooops..wrong thread...

 

@All,

Well I got my Arctic Freezer installed on the Prescott build and all I can say is "silence is golden" temps so far are only about 3 degrees less than with the previous cooler,but I suspect it will take time for the Arctic Silver to do it's thing.

I just finished checking Newegg and the price for the Arctic Freezer 64 was at $24.99 with free shipping...as you might expect,I hit the "buy" button immediatly!Now the 3800x2 can get the same treatment.

One thing is certain,these things are quiet and huge!

boxwrench,

If you think that's huge, you should see the Zalman 9500LED. Bigger and heavier than that is The Tuniq 120. This one really needs a brace between the bottom of the case and the cooler, it's so heavy! I'm very impressed with the Arctic. I understand that the Freezer series 7, 64 and 4 are all the same cooler. Just the mount is different. The Zalman 9500 is a genuine pain in the ass to install, at least on 478 and 775. If you don't have a case larger than 10 bays or your power supply is on the bottom of the case, you're stuck with removing either the power supply or motherboard! With the Arctic freezer series, you don't even need tools! It's way quieter than the 9500 as well! Right now I can buy 2 of the Freezer Pro series for the cost of 1 9500LED! Care to guess where I spent my money?

I just bought a Freezer 64 Pro for an AMD build within the next couple of days. This will be my first socket 939 with the Arctic 64 Freezer Pro. I'll let you know how it works.

Happy Computering,

I look forward to seeing your results, Russ!

 

bunny is getting quite popular.I asked neph to put bunny in his sig but hes not replied(how could he say no to a poor defenseless bunny)

 

I do like his rotating skull though! Do they go well together?

 

we will let neph decide that.

 

hey guys, my stuff will be comming in monday, i am upset.. but whatever...

but we went and got me schedual for school yesterday.. 2 honors classes so it should be fun...

I uped the voltage to get 2.7 stable to 2.5 i think, but it keeps going out... if you know what i mean.. BLue screen... but i think that it is my power supply and i wil be getting that fixed when the new power supply comes in... so i will try again after i get it in.. i dont want to pop a nother motherboard or worse..

talk to u guys later,
Ryan

 

Well, quite, never trust a cheap Power Supply.

 

i agree.. that is why i am waiting..

 

just to clear this up for me.You need a good power supply that can handle all the overclocking and performance.And the original power supply you got with the pc cant handle all of it and if u plugged it in it would probably go on fire or overheat.

 

Or trash your motherboard.

 

It's more likely to blow from the overload and fry your mobo to a crisp. I've seen it when my friend tried to take his P4 630 to 3.6GHz with the stock 420W PSU from an Aspire X-Dreamer. I Checked another one out and it was really only putting out about 350W. It was a strong 350, but 350 nontheless and not suitable for an OC of any type.

 

Lol yep, I've had a 450W Qtec overload and destroy a few components of mine, and a 600W Magna that wasn't capable of outing 250W.

 

ok thanks for the replys.I think ill buy a good PSU for my new laptop.(just incase it blows when playing doom 3 and oblivion)
