Not that impressive yet, is it. Temperatures haven’t exceeded 42 Celcius. So, wondering what the secret is?
A full 120mm fan just for my CPU! The Big Typhoon VX has kept my CPU extremely cool, to the point where it has passed what has been promised by water cooling systems. I got my Q6600 and Big Typhoon VX from Tiger Direct.
Its not to hard to reach these levels, get yourself a decent Q6600 (about 80% of the Q6600s I have worked with have been able to hit 3.6GHz).
To keep my heat levels even lower, I now run at 3.15GHz (this allowed for a huge voltage drop). I have not passed 36C since while running OCCT.
I am still unsure as to how these temperatures would match up to water cooling temperatures, and I can say that this fan is quite loud. Actually, its really loud.
I have kept this fan running at full strength, and it is quite noisy. The box reads 24dBA maximum, and I’m not sure how loud that is, but I know that it is noisier than my house fan.
This fan is huge, measuring 122mm(length) by 122mm(depth) by 103mm(height). However, it easily sat inside my Antec P182 case.
if ur casing have lots of hole for fan ,
the main issue is how many fan hole your casing have,at least five,than it would not be a problem to reach temp between 28c-31c….cool….amd is cooler compare to intel….
Fan holes aren’t really an issue. The airflow is managed front to back. There are 3x 80mm fans on the front taking air in, along with a 120mm on the top and 80mm back allowing hot air to leave the system. The airflow generally pulls hot air away from the cpu directly out above the system.
