New heatsink.

hi can anyone recomend me a VERY GOOD heat sink for under £25. as my games heat up my mechene lots.
thanks UKRMYCADET.

 

pounds? you're gonna have to translate for the americanos! About 50 dollars?

 

whats your cpu??

 

You could get a nice Zalman, Gigabyte or Akasa Heatsink/fan for that much.

£25 = $45.4227 which rounds to $45ish.

the mother bord is also Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

 

Yeh that's the make, but can you find out the exact model? See in my sig. it says Gigabyte K8NS Pro.

 

sorry i dont know anything about overclocking, modding, and a little about cooling. Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. S651MPRZ
will this help i got it off system info. i didnt put the number in because i thought it was some kind of serial number.

thanks keeps em posted UKARMYCADET

 

Thermalright are the best in the world the aluminium xp 90 will burn you £30 with delivery,but it really is worth buying the solid copper xp-90c thats gonna burn you £40

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Thermalright_120.html

 

do i need a fan with it tho? plus what about water cooling is that good.

the thermalright seems quite good actually.

thanks UKARMYCADET

p.s is my sig usefull...

 

Yup any 80mm or 90mm fan will fit,but it has to have the small 3 pin plug for your mobo or the fan failure alarm wont work,water cooling is great,a half decent setup will cost you about £200,or you could opt for the cheap kits for about £50,but I wouldnt trust my hardware to a £5 aquarium pump.lol

 

god i didnt know that water cooling was that expencive. by the way you may think im tight with money but im 14 and i need to spend a long time saving up. and i like playing the top games on my pc. and can you have a look at this one and see what you think thanks UKARMYCADET

what about this heatsink

Or this

 

Huh!am I missing something?I just showed you the best heatsink in the world for £30 including delivery,the coolermaster jet thing is about £3.00 more expensive and crap?

 

Ok Didnt Know it was so good. that will probably be my choice.

thanks for the replys. they have been very usefull.

UKARMYCADET

 

Is your limit exactly £25 m8?

 

nope give or take

 

Can you squeeze the thermalright xp-90 for £30,you can get even cheaper delivery from overclockers.co.uk but you will have to wait longer,You prob dont have any plastic can you borrow a card,if not is there a puter shop near you?

 

my mum will pay through card and ill pay mum. do you think it will fit my pc cos it dont say. and im not bothered how long i w8.

thanks rikky

 

Here read the review for yourself,I trust this website,anyway no matter which you go to they will say the same thing,the only better heatsinks are the copper version the xp-90c or the xp120 which is huge,while your reading this I'll go to thermalright and check it fits your mobo.

thanks for tellin me this info its ben a real help, is it ok if i put you on my buddys list incase i have more questions. ill read the review now.

 

Magnum P.I is everyones buddy except higgins,bet you dont know who magnum is young padawan.lol

 

dont have a clue????

 

i still cant find if it fits my motherbord i think it dosent.

cant reply for a while gotta have tea. but rite back anyway.

 

Thats you,heres the link I ya wanna check it yourself

http://www.thermalright.com/support_default.htm

You get heatpaste and the mounting bracket to fit your mobo,the next hurdle is whether you want to fit it you will have to remove the mobo to fit the bracket and you need a fan the 80 or 92mm zalmans will both fit and have the right connector

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/zalman_fans.htm

or the 92mm ystech

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_YS_Tech_60.html

bit more expensive but quieter and more powerfull.

 

mobo?

 

Motherboard.lol

 

lol sorry

 

Edit click the xp 90/90c motherboard compatibility checker,towards the bottom right

 

i have g2g now be back later thanks for the help i think i know a enough now...

cya l8r if your on and i have more questions.

Just to give more kudos to the Thermalrite XP-90... I got a p4 3.4 GhZ w/ HT and I was having overheating problems. Under a full-load usually I was hitting temps at least in the mid 60 C before my intel sensor alarm thing started going crazy. after i installed my XP-90 i haven't got above 53 C under a full-load. installation was easy and pain free. no tools needed. right now idle is at 41c actually. i bought mine from newegg.com and with shipping it was $44 USD

 

thanks dc. so it fits most motherbords. just wondering did you get the alu or the copper xp- 90. and how do i go about fitting a fan

thanks for the reasureance. UKARMYCADET

 

i dont think it really matters about the motherboard, but more specifically the socket type. i got socket 478 and it fits that fine. in the package it comes in there is an adapter, in case you are running an amd processor. i got the aluminum model and im extremely happy with it. the part about mounting the fan...i had a few extra 80mm fans laying around. the one that i used was a aerocool silver blade case fan. the box the xp-90 comes in comes with two rubber 'shock absorbers'. you have the choice of sticking them to the inner mount, which is for the 80mm fans, or mount them on the top rails, which is for the 92m fans. 4 clips come with the xp-90, 2 for 92mm if you go that route, and 2 for the 80mm route if you go that route. just follow the instructions it comes with and you'll have no problems. it even comes with thermal gel. plus it looks really cool once its installed.

 

thanks for explaining it. i will defently buy it when i scrape some cash togeather.
I will probably get copper not alu.

didnt know i got cooling gel.

thanks again UKARMYCADET

 

Beat you to it,heres my xp-90c next to the stock,my akasa ak-859,its huge!

 

oh well its ok. were building up a new pc from scrach now and we might not need the heat sink. ( mum changed her mind all of a sudden and she said she didnt want me buchering up the pc) you help is still apreciated a lot.

 

It look verry cool, what do you think about the airflow heading up or down, which way is better ? do you feel CPU t* much better ?

Did you need this fan ? See my attachment, it run at 7500rpm (12v 0.27a)
this fan from server case..

 

I'm looking for a high cfm 92mm transparent fan at the moment like this 80mm akasa from my akasa ak-859,the heatsink is designed to take an 80mm fan but ofcourse I want a 92mm and it must be transparent,I dont want to cover up the xp-90c it looks too good.

 

rikky thats very cool. im proper envious. lol. just out of interest is your new heatsink for games or overclocking. cya m8

the monster XP-120 is on sale this week

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_This_Week_Only_25.html

 

I would have gone for the xp-120 but it dont fit my mobo,one of the heatpipes gets in the way of the capacitors,that 120 is only £1.50 or something cheaper,not really a decision making price cut.

To army cadet,its at the moment for cooling because of the heatwave,soon I will overclock it,yeh I use my computer for playing games,If you dont play games I dont really see the point of overclocking

 

:-s its about £4.50 cheeper this week than last week ..... when you add vat on to it, also the Akasa AK-183-L2B is on sale this week ...... save £2.35 on it ... ok its not massive ammounts of money but still £6.85 is a good saving ;-)

still it will be here by tuesday .... nice and cool cpu comming up for me

 

What its goin ontop of?

 

Ordered me a xp120 and a nice Akasa AK-183-L2B to go on top ......... what did i forget to order ......... AS5 ..... DOAH ....... homer moment ........ now do i use the normal compound that comes with it or get as5 before it gets here on monday ?

 

I have done a little research on the supplied paste with the thermalright xp 90 and 120,asus started a thread about here in the cooling and modding section and its actually a paste provided by arctic"makers of arctic silver" to thermalright and guess what its based on arctic ceramic which some believe to be better than AS5

 

so i should try it and see what it holds out at? ..........

 

what do you think?

 

i dont know thats why i asksed ....... lol ...... just that i have read some reviews on the xp-120 and they say that they had werid results because of the paste that comes with it ........... they changed it to as 5 and was much better ....... but i thought as5 takes longer to fully "set in" as so to speek?

 

I have used as5,because its what the rest of the world uses and because I didnt forget to order some! lol,If I were you I'd go with the bundled paste,I think it must be pretty decent stuff,people who spend so much on a cooler know about thermal paste,so I dont think thermalright have put it in there unless it could compete,it just depends how much your temps drop after the 200 hour breakin period 5-7 is about whats expected from AS5 if that happens with the bundled stuff keep it.

BTW I asked whats going underneath it as in cpu,if you post your specs in your signature it makes things a whole lot easier

 

soz ... keep forgetting to do that ....... going on top of a prescot 3.0e
