where can i buy a cpu air cooler in BD?

[Evil Ryu]

its for ocing my q6600

ive searched IDB bhaban and
only found gigabyte g-power pro & the blue orb 2

im looking for one of these:

thanks

[Mazhar]

wont find them in IDB, ive searched seemingly everywhere

u need to get it from abroad

[coldfire7]

U can find ASUS's Air coolers in Global Brand, IDB, 1st Floor........

@Mazhar
i know but i still made this thread hoping someone found them in BD ahh well............

@coldfire7
how good are those? will i get a stable temp @ 3.0~3.2ghz?

[coldfire7]

u can overclock 3.0~3.2 stably even in ur stock cooler.........

ASUS's coolers r better then thermaltake's blue orb &etc. that u can find in bd....

[Evil Ryu]

ive tried 3.0ghz with stock cooler just for testing & i was hitting
60c under under max load

i would like to keep my cores under 50c

I thought ur talking about oc-ing a stock 3.0GHz to 3.2 (200MHz OC)...

R u talking about oc-ing ur Q6600???

If u r then u r going to need a AIR Cooler....

I Prefer................

1. ASUS Silent Square Pro - http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...08&modelmenu=1
2. ASUS Silent Square - http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...13&modelmenu=1
3. Tt TMG i7 - http://www.thermaltake.com/product/C...0/cl-p0370.asp

NOTE: Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 & Tt TMG i7 is similar in performance.....

intel stock air cooler is quite capable of OC ing any CPU (P4,dual core,core 2 duo) to atleast 500 mhz and still being in the safe zone.

u mi8 hit extra 700mhz on air with stock HS if u maintain good airflow.

besides its the airflow which matters in the end.

Not to be rude... but in summer season the temp in our country gets very very high... I don't recommend oc'ing with stock cooler by more then 200MHz unless u r really want to make french fries out of CPU.................

[Mazhar]

actually, overclocking the quad an extra 400 mhz without raising the volts is easy, and it wont increase the TDP by more than ~20W, which the stock cooler can very easily handle

and 60C at 3ghz was with stock volts? and what stability testing program did u use? 60C under full load is very normal, and is not to be worried about honestly

i say wait till you can get a cooler from abroad, and overclock that quad to around 2.9 with a little extra volts, wont be a problem

i dun know how much u r into OCing but as a matter of fact if u dun increase voltage u r most likely fine...means u shouldnt overheat.

besides 200 mhz OC is really nothing...that can force somone to go for aftermkt cooler unless u hit ur thermal threshhold more often.

most often extra 600-700 mhz increse requires additional CPU vcore.... which isnt the case for the guy who started this thread.

So, making frenh fries with extra 200 mhz is simply out of question.

(im had my prescott 3.0 ghz at 3.6 ghz on air @ stock @ stok vcore without any issue so , core 2 duo should perform wayyy better than mine.)

remember that the prescott also had a better stock cooler, and its a dual core and not a quad. but i agree that without an increase in vcore (quads also require a cpu termination volt increase at times), overclocks up to 500-600 mhz is fine (2900-3000mhz)

and without increasing the volts, reacing near 3ghz is usually possible with the q6600. above that, a voltage increase is required for stability, and when that is done, i recommend going for aftermarket cooling..

which is why i was confused. 3ghz at 60C is perfectly fine, provided the cpu is at full load. what stability testing program was used though?

Hey I didn't said 200MHz.. I said more then 200MHz.. that's 200MHz+.......

And one one more thing that is even if don't increase voltage to overclock the idel temp goes up... like I overclocked my E4500 from 2.2 to 2.8 without increasing any voltage & it's started to idel from 30(D)[before] to 36~37(D)[after]...........

yeah volt was on stock
my bio's setting was
multiplier-9
fsb-333
dram- 1:1 ratio

tested with prime 95
also you have to keep in mind that my ac was turned on & ive noticed when ever i turm off my ac the core temps rise by 5~10 so if the ac was turned off i bet the cores woulve hit 70c!!!! and according to intel website 71c is the limit for q6600 GO

[Mazhar]

71'C is not the limit, it is when the warning beep is usually triggered

if you have a look at the white papers, the maximum thermal envelope is around 95'C. However, up to 75'C can be considered 'safe'

try testing with OCCT, but before doing that, go to settings and set max core temp to 80'C or something..and in the bios, set the fsb to 322 to give you a 2.9 ghz clockspeed. i think it should be fine. keep in mind that OCCT shows temperatures which are around 6'C above the actual temperatures. then again, most temperature monitoring softwares are wrong, and dont reflect the actual temperature as well.

U can alos use prime95.........

i thought 71c was the safe limit?
but i rather not go higher than 65c its my own limit better safe than sorry
ill try that and post the results later


@coldfire7
i was using prime95 64version...............

u can c it for ur self whether u r running ur cpu on the edge or not

prime95 + throttle watch use korte paroo

throttle watch lets u c whether ur cpu is throttling due to overheating or not.

good luck

[Mazhar]

or more simply, disable throttling when overclocking (disable EIST, all the power saving features etc)

id aids in overclocking too

Brut....Asus coolers are the worst cooler u can get....try out thermaltake big typhoon....with its six heatpipes and a 120mm fan it just the best thing u can get....its even recommended by tom's hardware...i m using it my cpu temp has been dropped from 60 to just 38 in idle and wen overclocked it reaches 45....thts quit good....and if u add 2 more 120 mm case fans 1 as the intake and as the exhaust ur temp will surely drop to 30......and trust me the second best cooler u can get is the gigabyte Gpower....its second in line the problem with is the sound nothin else....
