C2D E6320

[Asjasck]

Can an overclocked C2D E6320 to maybe 3GHz be cooled by Coolermaster Hyper TX? I intend to get CM Hyper TX because of it's weight. Many reviews show that it actually performs well.

 

[apt403]

Depends on the mobo, but it should hit over 3ghz easy.

*Cough*Freezer 7*Cough*

 

[Asjasck]

I'm not talking about overclocking ability because i know e6320 can easily reach 3GHz. I want to know will CM Hyper TX be enough to cool it down?

Acrtic Cooling products are harder to get in my area.

Does Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 perform better than CM Hyper TX?

Thanks.

 

[apt403]

They're virtually the same, but I have seen a couple review where the Freezer 7 scored +/- 1ºc better. It's just that the Freezer 7 is usually cheaper then the Hyper TX.

At full load you should see mid-40's temps, and low 30's idle. The Tuniq Tower 120 could probably shave a full 10ºc off both those.

what kind of case do you have? if you ave a case with a big ass fan in the back sucking air out, get the artic off newegg or somehting. do you have a link to his " CM Hyper TX " on a site or anything?

Not in the US so newegg is not an option. Besides i'm finding a light and good cooler. The Hyper TX is only 482g while Freezer 7 is 520g. For 525g i could get Thermalright HR-01. Which performs better then?

just get a termalright ultra 120 extreme , to put it simple: its the best

 

[apt403]

The Freezer 7/Hyper TX. The HR-01 is barely above usless when it comes to oc'ing.

do you thonk 40g will count? :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[Asjasck]

Please don't suggest Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme. It's heavy.

So thermalright HR-01 is useless for an overclocked C2D? So my best choice is Hyper TX/Freezer 7?

so? whats the problem of beeing heavy? is not like you are going to keep it in your hands or something.

 

[apt403]

No, your best choice is the Ultra 120 Extreme. Unless you're planning on jogging with this pc strapped to your back weight isnt going to be an issue.

 

[Asjasck]

Not jogging, but the case frequents movement.

I mean best choice for TR HR-01 or Hyper TX/Freezer 7?

 

[apt403]

The latter, without a doubt.

You might want to look into the Zalman 9500 and 9700 as well. Normally I would never recommend them, since there are much better options for the same price (though they're in the 750g range). The 95/700 are both much better then the Freezer 7/TX.

look man, your case is like several kilos or pounds , depends were you are from, so do you think that 100g or 200g will be such a big difference? you will not be able to make the diference, but it will be a big diference in temps, trust me, and "apt403".
we do no, what is the best

 

[Asjasck]

It's not about the whole weight. Currently i have a heavy tower heatsink and when i move it around i notice that the heatsink moves and vibrates which worries me about the board and the processor in a long run.

you should have said that from the begining

 

[apt403]

As long as you lay the case in it's side when you're moving it, so that the hsf is horizontal, you'll be fine. I'm fully confident that I could swing my mobo around in circles by the hsf and cause no damage.

 

[fate0n3]

Since weight is an issue I would go for the Freezer7 or Hyper TX. They are both lightweight and have good performance for the money.

 

[Asjasck]

Ya thats probably what i'm getting.

 

[Asjasck]

I got a Noctua NH-U12F and the performance is so-so only. Is it normal? Will the Hyper TX perform better than the Noctua?

 

[apt403]

WTF? Why did you get that? I thought you wanted a light hsf! The Noctua NH-U12F is virtually the same weight as the Tuniq Tower.

Anyway, what kind of temps are you getting? So-so doesnt tell us much.

The NH-U12F is a pretty good cooler, it's better then the Freezer 7 or TX.

 

[YoHoJoe]

And negative over here too, I see.

Are you just going to keep following me around?
