arctic cooling freezer 7 - marks on copper?

[techmob]

Give your local Trading Standards a call. They're the legal experts.



p.s. lapping is real easy. Give it a go - you'd be surprised.

i'll give lapping a miss :haha:

all i want is a cooler that will keep my chip cool, and if this will do the job then sod what it looks like, i wont see that bit

you guys think it will be safe then?

cheers

If it's flat and only discolored then, yes. Especially with AS5. All copper heatsinks, even highly-polished, mirror finished ones, discolor over time during use.

its the during use thats the problem, its brand spanking new, or supposed to be lol ( but i get your meaning)

everything else is spanking new..

it feels the same as the rest of the surface, i will be giving it ago when i get my AS5 (that will be fun doing it, never used it before)

currently enjoying the banter from the seller atm about how poor his customer service is

I think you can send anything back within 7days of recieving it, whether it's faulty or not as part of the distance selling act.

If you offer a replacement for faulty goods that have been returned

by the consumer, the cancellation rights under the DSRs will run for

seven working days from the day after the day the consumer

receives the replacement goods, provided you have previously

complied with the information giving provisions in the DSRs

But it's blatently new. Discolouring is just oxidation

If I don't use OC3D I use photobucket.. Seems speedy enought!

Sorry for off topic! :wavey:

Hi guys!

fitted the arctic freezer 7 pro with some AS5

been running for the past hour, with the nice and noisy fan running at full blast (for the time being)

reading from TAT (IDLE)

core0 - 42

core1 - 41

or there abouts ^

nothing is overclocked, seems to be a few degrees lower than the stock cooler so far, will see how it goes over the break in period

 

[Rastalovich]

That`s idle ?

U hitting 50 on load ?

Seems a bit high for me.

 

[equk]

Doesn't seem that bad, TAT readings are quite high.

Altho if it's not overclocked etc I guess it's not brilliant.

 

[techmob]

it's idle guys

having tried load yet, want to break it in slowly

or shall i hit load?

i am pretty sure it is on right, the paste was done right as per arctics guide.

nothing is overclocked and fan is running full speed

core temp shows

40

41

 

[limqareb]

i dunno mine is oced to 3.3 ghz and vcore is 1.475 and it idles at 40 and bfore ocing it idled at 35 so idunno what is your problem , i have the same as you but i left stock paste and added some akase paste cause i smeared a bit around what rpm is the fan accordin to the uguru the max of the fan which min is 2880 rpm tell us urs

 

[limqareb]

yes try to hit load maybe you can spot the prob if the temp goes over 60

use orthos

my fan speed is

2860 rpm or there abouts

running orthos now, currently on 51 will no doubt rise

how long should i do it for

 

[limqareb]

my fan speed is

2860 rpm or there abouts

that should be it well i dunno maybe the case is hot ? try to touch the heatsink see if it is warm? then try on load and see if there is a difference on the heatsink

 

[limqareb]

well leave it for like 30 min , if its 50 its good

 

[techmob]

i ran orthus for 20 mins

and it was steady at

54

53

hottest one core got was 55, but it flickered to 54 mostly

..............

what is the default vcore for the e6600, my motherboard asus p5w is set to auto, and it shows it as

vcore 1.23
