Vapochill LS OR Mach II GT for FX-60

[jirii]

Can somebody post pictures how exactly use dielectric grease on the socket??? I never used it... Thanks for help!!

Just slap it on ur finger and then gently caress the socket making sure a thick covering is achieved and all the holes are covered.

ooo-er missus :O :O

I doubt that an LS would be able to cope with 250W of heatload even a brand new gt cant cope with 210W I have tested a brand new gt which in my opinion is better than the LS new or old and it wont do it if you regass and tune the unit it can if you add a new version chilly1 head to it can extremely well

The rev1 LS's could generally handle about 240W of real heat, when Bowman did his review of one he managed to cool 242W with it:

For dielectric grease, squeeze it out of the tube and push it into the socket. Make sure the socket lever is up so that the grease can get right into the socket. Keeping adding grease until all the holes are filled and the more grease you add just goes over the sides. You want to make sure that when the CPU is in the socket there are no air pockets and all of the pins are covered with grease.

Ok, I dont use it before and my english is not so good , can somebody give me www where dielectric grease is sell, only for example.thx

P.S. And there cant be a problem when it come into the socket?

Clear out your PMs and i may be able to get you a www link, i dont know where you are based so i dont know how convenient this is for you.

The only problem you can get is if there is so much grease that you cant get the CPu far enough into the socket. If you just press down on the centre of the IHS hard into the socket as you close the socket then you will be fine, other than that you shouldnt get any problems.

Well MasterG all I can say is he must have a different heatload tester to mine I know a mach2 gt can not handle my heatload tester which is 3 x 136 ohm wire wound resisters connected in series ( 2 x 136 = 210W ) embeded into a copper block tbh I havent connected it to an LS so maybe it would take it ??? I just think it wouldnt as the mach2 has the better compressor so??

jirii note you can also use vaseline instead of di-electric grease this may be easier to find

The rev2 LS (ones you buy now) wont, as they have been tuned for 200W, but the old rev1 LS would take it as they were originally tuned for 250W. The LS compressor is smaller but more powerful IIRC, so it can handle the load. I'm just going by what i have read though, you can see what heatload he uses, could be the difference between the heat sources and ambient temperature.

How do you work out the Wattage given out by a chip at a given clockspeed?

 

[fatty]

There is a program out on the internet called cpu calc I have used that before dont know how accurate it is

 

[Bradmax57]

ok i downloaded something called cpu calc but when I unziped it it was a .8xg file or something whats that all about?

 

[fatty]

dont know mate mine had an exe it was a program

here is an online one
