Dark Rock Pro 2 Alternative

[TimV_]

Hi Guys,
I am looking for a alternative to the Dark Rock Pro 2.

Why? I want to have lower temperatures then I have now.

Hope you guys can help.

surely the Noctua NH-D14 is the way to go then?

 

[jamesriley94]

Download CPU-Z for core voltage. HWmonitor doesn't display that correctly.

Those temps are too hot for your set up - I'm thinking you've installed it wrong rather than there being a problem with the cooler.

To answer the question though - Noctua D14 is the best out there. But you won't see much of a difference between that and your current cooler.

I'd probably try to push to an H100i if it will fit your case though. Do you have good enough case airflow?

Your temps aren't really anything to be massively concerned about btw...
The 3570k can go up to 105 degrees C before shutting down.
You've realistically got another 20 degrees to play with to be safe

 

[kilobravo]

Yeap,like WillSK said,Noctua NH-D14.

 

[rossi94]

Thought about watercooling?

 

[CPMFW]

like the others already said go for the nh-d14 with some high static pressure fans...
or go a little step further and watercool it

 

[tinytomlogan]

Need to remember its Ivy Bridge too.... So temps will never be awesome @ load

Still though - he's only at 4.0ghz.

My temps on Ivybridge are still 10 degrees lower with fans at 5v, and I'm running at 4.5ghz.

The Dark Rock Pro 2 isn't that bad

 

[TimV_]

gonna run priime95 again with cpu z just te be shure..

And how do I clean off old thermal paste? I what Thermal paste should I use to get the best results and how to apply it think thats a fault from me to :$

 

[CPMFW]

1. to remove it just use kitchen towel
2. i use noctua nt-h1
3. i would use the dot method

 

[TimV_]

My new CM690 ll advanced is coming in Wednesday.... Is the corsair H100i a option to get my system cooler and how do i mount the fans for the maximum airflow?

 

[jamesriley94]

On top of the rad, under the top mesh, sucking through the rad and out the top

Picture?

Ran a new Prime95 Test

 

[jamesriley94]

Do you need that many volts for 4ghz? I can get 4.5ghz on fewer than that...

asrock extreme tuner in bios does this I think I only turned that on

 

[jamesriley94]

Overclock properly, it's so so easy on Ivybridge. You should be able to get stable 4.0ghz without adjusting any voltages. Software will always massively overstate to ensure you're stable - that's why you're running hotter than usual.

Okay, I reset the bios this is it now:

and where can I find a cuid for overclocking?

and still this are the temps on no load pc on for 15 mins:

Is the Corsair H100i a alternative to gets things cooler?

 

[kilobravo]

Either its poorly mounted or he forgot to use cooling paste.24c temp difference on the cores :huh:

 

[CPMFW]

try to apply new thermal paste and test again
the h100i should be able to get it a bit cooler

Okay, thats clear now I apply'd the thermal paste wrong... How do I get the old stuff of and how do I mount the Corsair Hq00i in a CM690 ll for best performance
