Cpu Cooler Help.

BarbaricSoul said:
Maybe I missed Mad Shot's reason for posting, but I took his post as backing my post in that he was showing a AMD CPU with a lower TDP in a room that is about 20' f below a normal room temp barely doing what 9370 CPU guy claims his 220 watt TDP CPU does in I assume a normal temperature room.

Correct me if I'm wrong @ThE_MaD_ShOt

If that's the case then I apologize @ThE_MaD_ShOt as I must have read it differently.

Where did i suggest getting a new board? I said could have. I wanted to demonstrate that while 15 euros may not be much, given the base price of the board is it worth to invest in it? Because given his post with the CPUs temp it may not be needed. Plus he got the board only 2 days ago so he could substitute it. Finally given that its the same chipset there would be no need to re install drivers (maybe audio / lan) but no need for clean install. Again I am not saying he should do this but the possibility is there.



Yes because a 8+2 phase motherboard with a 8 core CPU cooled with H100i is totally comparable to his situation

Edit: and so this post is not totally useless to OP. Look into ram coolers. Something like this

I found a cheap ram cooler locally (like 4 euros on sale) and it a perfect fit for the vrms and made a noticeable change for the vrm temp under load

this is what i had in mind

True but for 15 euros extra you could have just gotten a better motherboard with vrm heatsinks and maybe even 8+2 instead of 4+1 phase :) For example your Asus is probably like 50-55 and you can get a gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P for like 70-75 ;)

I posted that because the guy with 220 watt chip is saying his temps where extremely low. I was validating the point he needs to put in under a full load to see what his actual under load temps are. And also My 8350 and his 9370 are still the same chip. his is clocked higher. Also the reason for all the pics where the fact last time I posted a temp shot of my rig I was told to run this and run that to validate the temps and post screen shots of it. I was just jumping ahead of the game. That's all no harm intended and didn't mean to upset anyone or offend.

@Toothless Sorry you misunderstood my reasonings, sometimes I may not be totally clear.

That and sorry to the op I may have slid off topic a little. :toast:

Oh and @BarbaricSoul thank you, and you are correct I was trying to back your post up.

Now back to the op, with a Hyper 212+ or Evo and some vrm coolers you will have a totally great crunching rig. The only reason I am even suggesting the vrm coolers is the fact that it will be under load 24/7/365. It's best to be safe then sorry. Since your not ocing the Cm hsf will do great for you and is cheap enough. I run one on my matx Fx8350 cruncher.

BTW the ones that your posted are of course better but if you want to go on the cheap, this is what i got for 5 euros shipped. There are also bigger ones but i found 6x6mm to be perfect for the vrms. They are not much but I think (or hope) they helped a bit in the combination with the fan

If you don't mind the price those are the best. Also I have found, at least for my board, the best monitoring tool is HWiNFO. Because it monitors also frequencies you can leave it over night and see if your CPU has throttled at any point during crunching

Price is the last thing that i care about when building a Machine, for the monitoring tool ( HWiNFO) i dont know it but i could try it:rockout:

I hope one day soon I will be able to say the same :D
 
If price isn't an issue then go for i7s like the 2700, 3770 or 4790. 4GB memory and a 60GB HDD each and a Hyper 212 EVO each.

that is right, but with the same money i build 2 i7 Machines i build 4 AMD Machines like the last one i Builed:D
 
The Hyper212 was a good choice....I have one on my FX8350 and it does 4.4GHz w/o difficulty....lm-sensors says it's at 49C right now in a pretty warm room.

AMD uses more power and it's threads aren't as strong as Intel's. Intel uses less power per core/thread and has a very strong thread power which mind you is what WCG uses. One task PER thread.

Unless you don't care for your stacking bills then by all means go AMD. Hurts you in the long run.
 
I dont know if you missed what I posted above about the next build :-)

Yes and no....my 32core Opteron system gives PPD/Watt equal to a Sandy Bridge system, and in terms of overall performance does a great job.
But either way, let's not start such an argument in this thread ;)

Dont mind toothless, still wet behind the ears
 
I also run a Hyper 212+ on a 8350 rig and it does great.
 
Love my Ashura. Its slim yet runs with the fatter coolers.
