Heatsink

[Innocent159]

thinking of heatsinks without fans (note: only case fans will be used)

case: Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced
mobo: Asus Intel P8z77-v Lx Atx
cpu: Intel Core i5 Quad Core 3570K Ivy Bridge with
thermalright heatsink: HR-02 Macho and ifx10.
would it work? and will it provide sufficient cooling for overcooling?

Can I ask why?

Unless you were aiming for a completely passive system it's just all round better to put fans on.
Get a Noctua D14, run the fans at 5v - it will be completely silent and performance will be far better than any passive system

 

[Innocent159]

everyone advice me to get Noctua D14 but it not available in S.A. and i just think it would be silent and if it could be below 50`C on oc it would work for me

 

[jamesriley94]

50 degrees C is a little ambitious for a passive heatsink with an overclock.

Good coolers these days have silent fans anyway. All the noctuas do - as do the BeQuiet series to just name a couple.

Even something like a Coolermaster 612 with voltage resistors at 5v will perform better than anything passive and still be incredibly quiet.

cool, thanks for the advice

thinking of this type of build (http://iforce.co.nz/i/beugxemx.50p.png) but can't find a z77 chipset and mosfet heatsink. Any suggestion?

cpu heatsink: HR-02 Macho with IFX-10 Backside CPU
ram: Thermalright HR-07 Duo
gpu: stock fans Evga NVIDIA GeForce GTX670 because i can't find heatsink for the card

It would be far cheaper, easier and more effective to buy a good heatsink and turn the fans down to 5v. Every fan in my system is running at 7v/5v and my temps don't go over 80*C during a 10 run IBT session (3770K at 4.4GHz at 1.144v measured at load).

 

[Innocent159]

heatsinks will have fans, isn't 80*C a little high was thinking more 50-60*C

 

[airdeano]

running benchmarking software tend to "wringe" the CPU in loads you'll prolly
not experience to test to stability. so if under "extreme testing" the temps
encountered are 80°, usually the actual operation in normal situations will be
less and maybe even far less.

oh, i feel dumb between yous, any idea what temps i'll reach with my cpu oc to +4.2 and the heatsinks on my ram and cpu (maybe on mosfet and chipset) + fans?

Its all down to voltage. But yeah most of your questions have been to put it nicely - silly.

 

[Innocent159]

i know but if everyone would of been equally smart, the forms won't be of any help or won't have a point.

What I mean is you cant actually answer half of your questions properly or they are just pointless.

 

[Innocent159]

ok Guvnor

 

[LiamTheBoss]

Defo just get the NH-D14 and get a fan controller.

 

[Innocent159]

R1,320.00 for a heatsink, never... then i'd rather buy a case with a radiator mount and buy the h100

Its a shame really , because i don´t get most of his questions and gave up
