I dont like my new CPU Cooler

[freeagent]

Great but misleading devices. I say great because they are specifically designed with ESD prevention in mind. Misleading because despite their name, they are not vacuums. Instead they are blowers.

Mine has no ESD.

I pretend that I am the flamethrower operator knocking furry clingons off of the star cruiser landing gear just before launch.

I do hold my fans though..

Hmmm, I don't see any air flow direction indicators (often embossed) on the fans. Why do you say that, Shrek?

Look at the two pictures (in the original post); in the first one I see the power cable toward the center, now look at the second picture, seems to be the cable of the other fan is also toward the center.

It looks like his fans are fighting each other.

What is even more impressive is the exhaust fan location in relation to the cooler.

Oh? My bad. In the past, all Metro Datavac blowers were designed to be used to clean electronics and specifically designed with anti-static buildup features to ensure no ESDs. I guess yours must be a new model without such features. While damage from ESD is not as prevalent as it was years ago, it can still happen. So good luck.

Is see what you mean. I just have to believe (hope?) TT's design team and quality assurance practices ensured the orientation of the fans had them blow in the same direction - assuming they were mounted at the factory.

Its about 5 years old now, the new ones have ESD support

I think it just depends on the model. Way WAY back in the day, like 12 - 15 years back, they only had 2 models, both were designed to prevent ESD. The basic model came with the basic nozzle, the pro or premium (or whatever they called it) came with several attachments.

Hey dudes I’m not with the Machine the moment but I’m pretty sure I set them up so the fan on the right blows in and the fan on the left ( nearer to the exhaust) sucks out . I’ll check it out when I get back tomorrow .

So im back to sort out my pc and you guys were Right ... The fan on the left was blowing into the heat sink in instead of sucking out toward the Exhaust. Anyway we all make mistakes. lol
Ive since then pissed of the TT brick and Put the Wraith prism back on , and after a nice new spread of Duratech nano thermal grease Im Pleased to say that under full load im getting no higher than 63c ......
Maybe the 5700x3D dosnt run as hot as the 5800x3D? So, all good and now i have a spare cpu cooler Hehe.

I am glad you got it sorted out and thanks for coming back with your followup.

One wonders what the temperatures would be with the TT cooler (fans fixed)

good point. Still unlike from what i read from multiple articles, the amd cooler isn't going Flat out and too noisy

Not going flat out isn't a problem as long as the CPU remains adequately cooled. I hate fan noise so if a CPU fan is so loud, my most excellent Fractal Design case, with its sound deadening materials that line the interior, is unable to suppress the noise below my house's ambient noise, I would not be happy.

I think it worth reminding folks that keeping our CPUs adequately cooled is, obviously, critically important. But keeping them as cool as possible is not. That is, there is no technical reason that indicates a CPU running at 25°C will perform better, be more stable, or have longer longevity than the same CPU running at 35°C. As long as temps stay well within the published operating temperature range, that is good. Even if it peaks up close to maximum every so often, that is fine as long as it drops quickly before thermal protection thresholds are crossed.

However, peaking at and staying at near-maximum would not be good as that may eventually affect aging and possibly stability too. Additional cooling would be advisable.

And if thermal-protection thresholds are regularly crossed - indicating an "over" heating scenario - additional cooling definitely is required. This may be a real challenge with mobile (laptop) computers and µATX or smaller PC cases.
