More Information

A friend of mine bought the above mentioned thermaltake HS.

He is using it on a newcastle socket 754 athlon 3000.

He cannot seem to get the right performance from it and is not sure he has it installed proper.
my question is ...does he remove the plastic box that the factory heatsink sets in...and secure it to the 2 screw holes underneath it...or is it designed to be used "with" the square plastic box.

He tried it inserting in the plastic box....but his temps are too high 58c.

I told him i would remove the plastic square and fasten it directly to the 2 screw holes on the MB.

someone must have experience with this model heatsink....i am inserting the product link below.

IBM promises cooler chips with capillary-action and water jets

Published on October 27, 2006

IBM's Zurich labs have developed a new heatsink and water-cooling that promises to cool chips up to six times better than conventional air cooling.
