SilverStone NT06-E CPU Cooler - Review

[thekacpero11]

what is that program used to measure CPU temperature?

[duocainanshi]

we are a 8years chinese specialized notebook fan and cpu fan factory

[datarecoil]

OK 44C on idle right and 64c on load! WHAT LOAD? WHAT IN THE HELL WOULD ONE HAVE TO DO FRY AT 64c CONSTANT?

I got it wrong! so its 44C...idle and wahts the AVERAGE TEMP for playing games watching a movie some multitasking.. AMBIENT temp??? you need to right this video . BUT YOU IMPRESS THAT 64C its the last thing you show.

WITHOUT A EXPLANATION!! OF WHAT IN GODS NAME ONE HAS TO DO TO REACH THAT TEMP. STILL THIS IS A BAD VIDEO INFO NOT ENOUGH DOESN'T APPLY TO AVERAGE GAMER OR USER

[datarecoil]

60s are you nuts CALL THE FIRE DEPT! over 60c for a quad core NO LOAD?! FIRE! you got it all wrong pal! check your work, and dump that temp program something stinks to the point of funky stink! Paste, mount uneven sensor, temp program crap?. etc etc etc NO WAY NO WAY i own one with a silent Coolmaster 120mm i CANT HEAR IT SPIN.that quiet! and i get low 40's on a warm day! load NEVER EVER OVER 50c! In many programs! dead wrong to post this. I am afraid to watch anymore of your videos

[datarecoil]

Typos sorry this character Tester man... pissed me off so bad With a false reports on temps. i flew through my response! I hope this guy PMs me!

[datarecoil]

Yea its high! No you are high?! no way no way no way, You have wasted you time or have so other motives? flawed experiment! Temps are way off.. check you underpants cause pal you been jerking us off!

[datarecoil]

Whats program is reporting those temps THEY ARE WORK! or your process is faulty! You are not a system builder! Bad bad video temps no good way too high?? I own one no way no way no way...you took somethings for granted?? mostly like more than one!

[datarecoil]

*video editing << correction

[datarecoil]

dont believe this video. this guy did something wrong, or lives in a volcano! the temps would only shoot up as he says with a 6 core under stress of videoing editing. PASTE MATE which kind was used? how come we did see you apply that? your fan speed is no good, your mount you might not have tighten thumbscrews properly. You are doing all of us a huge injustice and that company as well! NO way,been building computers 11year now, longer then you?,you got something? wrong low 40s Celsius it idles

[datarecoil]

BAD INSTALL! CRAPPY THERMAL PASTE! Something is wrong TEMP? 64C!! THATS BULL! MINE IT WORKS WAY BETTER THEN YOU SAY OR SHOW WHAT program is that u are using to report temps.?? on a 4 CORE AMD I get low 40s!! Where are you in Hell? the Ambient temps??? You got a bad mount! REDO IT! I would go head to head on videos if i had time... this one is WRONG! crappy fan speeds? YOU GOT PROBELMS You should Apologize to ALL of us. Cause buddy you got it wrong,,

[DerTeufel0707]

How would it be doing on my AMD Phenom II x4 3,2 ghz? I don't intend to overclock it.

[datarecoil]

@DerTeufel0707 dont believe this video. this guy did something wrong, or lives in a volcano! the temps would only shoot up as he says with a 6 core under stress of videoing editing

[DerTeufel0707]

@datarecoil Alright, thanks. Will a Katana 3 do though?

[AbhLafiel]

SilverStone has always put out good cooling products.

[datarecoil]

@AbhLafiel this one worked fine with 4 core AMD and a good fan not a crappy 900rpm fan. This guys video did the Silvertone HS an injustice... He didn't mention Paste what kind used? we didn't see him apply it? and we didn't see him tighten to board ?? no way 64/63 Celsius ! i would have tossed mine if that happened to me. worked just fine under load of all new games no way i hit even got close to 60c!THE PASTE HE USED MUST BE TOTAL GARBAGE or BAD INSTALL! OR BOTH!

[taejamhaha]

one thing...

is it good when overclocking an Athlon II 240 to 3.5GHz?

---

one more thing...

the cooling fan sucks 950 RPM only? I have almost 2000rpm

[misterpc23]

@taejamhaha You can get to 3.6ghz on the stock cooler on the 245 lol

[taejamhaha]

@misterpc23 maybe yes. But my motherboard's kinda weak for overclocking.

ASRock A780LM-s. a low end motherboard that I pushed to its limits.

For that to be true, I think, you'll need a Gigabyte, EVGA or Asus mobo with the newest chipset available.

Better if it has a debug clock in it.

[misterpc23]

@taejamhaha I have the Gigabyte 990fxa-UD3 motherboard. The better the motherboard the lower the vcore needed to get high overclocks. I have no idea what a debug clock is. To google!

[taejamhaha]

@misterpc23 go overclocking mister!

debug clock (i don't really know what it is. but it may tell something about the state of your config. found only in the high end mobo's)

[misterpc23]

@taejamhaha I'm at 4Ghz on my 955be. 1.425v

[taejamhaha]

will it fit in an A780LM-S mobo??

will it bend my mobo??

[GoBulbasourGo]

This is a joke, lol, You have the fan pointing the air down! lmao, So what your doing is taking the 'hotness' from the cpu via heat sink then your blowing all the 'hotness' back on to the cpu with the fan? ahhaha

[jamaldeemer]

@GoBulbasourGo Every fan/heatsink works this way. You blow cool air onto the fins to cool it down.

[browndog1978]

@jamaldeemer no they don't, some it depends on what side/orientation you install the fan. Some have 1 fan pushing and 1 pulling

[mapukmapuk]

temperature and speed: more RPM - more Celsius?!?!

[Stefan010796]

Looks a little bit instable

[alaskanamber1]

Temps seem kinda high for an "aftermarket" cooler. idk, maybe its just me

[CSTJeffyo0]

is ddr2 better than ddr3 for ram or is just money difference.

[GenuineMW2]

will your ram fit now..............

[totalguy]

first look it seems good but i would be concerned about it blowing heat onto the memory. also the benchmark results are not impressive at all. im running a Phenom II x4 965 cpu and stock cooler and it does just as good as this. i will however say different boards can ontribute to cpu temperature, if you hve a good board the cpu temps will be lower than say a lesser poorly designed board.

[juggernautxtr]

the stupidest thing is it blows hot air right back down towards where it is trying to keep heat from building up.

stupidity at it's finest trying to cool the object by adding heat to what you are trying to cool.

[ImperialEwok]

horrible review

[ImperialEwok]

horrible review, have fun installing/removing ram with that cooler when this is in a case

[sumaran72]

is that goig to blow hot air on ram

[kyleglied]

Those temps suck because of the method you put the thermal paste on with.

If you do the pea method you will get much lower temps because there will be no air bubbles

[SpeedDemon07]

THAT THING IS GINORMOUS !!!

[popdodle]

is it a 120mm fan

[monkeyman1140]

only 430 grams without fan, only. yeah that's like nearly a pound, most motherboards are only rated for about 400g heatsinks with fan.

[sergeant07]

sir what camera are you using its so crisp and clear sir i love it!

[38828601manu]

what happens if the fan is placed "in the middle"?

I mean, attached on the other side in a way that air leaves away the processor? Would this work?

[DavidPlim]

Will this work on AM3??

[riodp354]

0h love to you

[sumaran72]

a have the cosair dominator memory with heat fins, i really like this cooler will it fit?

[GoodDay2YouSir]

DO NOT WANT!!!!!!

[IAMDAVEAMI]

oi

its not a bad desigh with the star trek interprise ship hahaha

but i wouldnt get this

your post ot have the heat away form your mobo ram and other things

but this pushs all that heat from your cpu to all your other thigns on your board so yeah its a bad desigh on where the hot hot hot air goes

if your builing a good gaming then this till heat up your gpu ram NB and SB bad bad heatsink

the end

:P

[DeltaPhi79]

Well what do you expect. It's small lol. But I see what you mean.

[JaksProductions]

I have a micro-ATX motherboard, will it fit?:/

[PCWizKid]

@JaksProductions yes, its not the board you should be worried about its the case

[JaksProductions]

@PCWizKid I have a coolermaster HAF 922 , is it big enough? :/

[timmytime1793]

@JaksProductions

plenty

[matty12345a1]

@PCWizKid would a air penetrator do well

[KillingAndChilling]

Don't think the Hyper X T1's will fit underneath that thing :)

[SirDamned]

What the smoking fuck hole is that ?

I want one !

[SunofPlunder]

From the way it looks, I believe the mount for the fan can be turned upside by removing the 4 screws on the front and the fan is now on the underside for more space (and to point the airflow upwards). I have not tried this myself but will be getting one soon to see what happens.

[frank0067]

major flaw with this is its blowing the hot air down into the CPU again & few other things

[STRIKER520]

That is what all stock heatsinks do from amd or intel but this is better cooling.

[Djasonpng]

lol mostly of cooler from other company copy cooler master ....

zzz

[latticelinux]

Why the hell would they make it so it blows the hot air back over the cpu and the heat pipes and the ram. This makes no damn sense.

[LimiTvBreaK]

@latticelinux

think about how it fits into the tower, the computer casing probably has intake vents right where the fan is. where my PC is that same exact spot is the only intake vent. everything else is all out vents. without a single in vent you are just re-circulating the already hot air inside the tower

[latticelinux]

Limi, The cooler is actually just blowing the hot air from the heat pipes and fins back over the cpu block and ram. It does not matter if there is a intake in the case panel. Since you will just be taking cold air and making it hot when it passes through the heat sink then that hot air will be blow back onto the cpu block and ram. Not a really smart design by any means.

[Acfeiln]

Intake does absolutely make a difference. The point is to cool the fins as effectively as possible. The "hot" air that everyone's worried about coming back on to the CPU doesn't do much, because the fins attached to the CPU are a relatively small surface area compared to the entire heatsink.

The fins are the most important place to dissipate the heat from, and it's done by convection. Air molecules collide with the surfaces of the fins; they are then in thermal contact and naturally behave in

[Acfeiln]

such a way as to reach thermal equilibrium. Basically, the air molecules and the metal that it collides with want to be at the same temperature, and heat will flow from the fins to the air molecules in order to try to reach equilibrium. Fresh air is supplied, so the heatsink fins are constantly presented with molecules that want to absorb its energy. The colder those air molecules are, the more heat energy they will absorb, because more heat energy is needed to make them reach

[Acfeiln]

the same temperature as the heatsink.

So, fresh intake will provide cooler air molecules, which will in turn more quickly absorb more heat from the fin apparatus of the heatsink, which is where the largest surface area and the largest amount of heat is. So a fresh intake will definitely cool the CPU more effectively, and the fact that hotter air is blown on to the CPU (if you set it up that way...it's actually meant to suck air out) makes a relatively negligible difference because much less

[Acfeiln]

heat from the CPU is stored in the smaller surface area fins right around it. And it's important to note that you are not blowing air onto the CPU, you are blowing it onto the fins right around it, and even with the hot air, the air is cooler than that CPU area and will therefore still absorb heat, though less effectively. Again, though, the amount of heat stored there compared to the main fins is negligible.

[123454d]

i know right makes it more hoter your right

[xXWREXXx]

Wtf? looks like a starship lmao? your reviews are awesome but yer a goof lol

[gorgi991]

i got a better one with 23 euros and do very good job

[borisbulldog]

I've got this CPU cooler and Silverstone told me that the 120MM fan should be mounted so the airflow blows away from the heatsink and this review says to push the air towards the heatsink.

Which way is correct?

[BlackSoulOfHeaven]

it depends on which what the closest fan do? if the closest case fan to the heatsink is intake you should point it to the heatsink to get the fresh colder air in, if the closest fan is exhaust just point it to blow the air away from the heatsink so the hot air will quickly be sucked out of the case. helped ya?

[borisbulldog]

Thank you, BSOH.

My exhaust fan in the rear is right next to the CPU cooler/fan and I have it now mounted to blow away from the chip and towards the exhaust outlet.

[BlackSoulOfHeaven]

great man happy to help ya ;) even though I'm not the biggest pro I think I'd like to answer some more of those tecnical question, hard to explain but it feels good, you know? like you make someone... I dunno you know?

[hyrael2]

Both. haha. Put pushing air will cool your ram too :P

[2346]

i have the SST-FP53-B onei donno its getting dusty i cleaned the outside but donno how to get into the inside

[acer0169]

Use a vacuum cleaner. Have the vacuum on and right next to your cpu and now blow as hard as you can onto the fins.

Your blowing should help losen dust and the vacuum gets rid of it straight the way intead of just moving dust around your case.

Also, if you can.. install another intake fan. If you have negative pressure in your case more dust will be sucked in via any gap it can. You can help combat dust often just with another case fan.

Hope it helped.

[qhoa1385]

i like this cooler but too bad it's not compatible with i7 >.>

Do you have any good cooler for the i7?

but not the HUGE one like the v10 x(

[uut0]

i like the thermalright 120 true black you ca buy a bolt trough kit so it also supports i7 =D

[ertxz18]

You can try the V8, slightly smaller, but is still smaller haha

[29379]

that ram looked so sexy lol

[MrPancakez]

44C idling is really bad.

[PCWizKid]

@MrPancakez, you are right, but in defence of the Cooler, its because of the Fan I used. I changed the Fan recently and now have low 30's.

[GammaSouljah]

@PCWizKid

What fan did you use in the end just out of interest?

[acer0169]

Agreed. My current setup idles at around 38 but it's hotter than hell in my room. If I took my computer downstairs I would be idling at around 30.

Soon to get my CoolIT Freezer Elite though, sub-ambient temps!!

[bihohran]

wow ocz vendetta dose alot better then this cooler my oc vendeta keeps my athlon x2 7750be oc'd to 3.1ghz under 40*c on 100% load i love this heatsink.

[123splint]

i have one of the ocz vendetta 2 i am selled it to get a cooler master v 8

[Kalywonkas]

Ahaha, ''I don't have much space to maneuver in there," This video is full of euphamisms.

[darkman1078]

amd phenom x4 9950 2.6 black edtion + gf 9800 gt 512 mb and asus m3a is good ? or i will have problem with amd with NVidia ?

[92rs25th]

nope. at least not in my case. amd phenom II 720 be + bfg tech 9800 gtx+ runs like a champ

[Dinyu01]

that thing is HUGE

[monkeyball1717]

thats what she said

[MicrosoftWindowsGuy]

@monkeyball1717

HA!!

[Kalywonkas]

Comment of the year 2009

[runie360]

Does a fan come with it?

[PCWizKid]

No, you need to add your own fan.

[hercules71185]

and what was the stock temp is the temp with that set up was 64 load.

[ownTer]

If you could mount that fan under the heat fins it would do very well.

[jbeebrylle]

hey! crucial memory mechanic help my computera lot!

[jbeebrylle]

ok so its built for that? then I can play games whenever I want but with limited time?

[jbeebrylle]

Ok I have a low knowledge for computer systems I have a question: Why do I hear my processor fan loud everytime I play games? It's like giving twice effiort rotation? coud you lesson me about this?

[olle0047]

your fan spins up because when u are gaming, the prosessor works at full speed and generates a lot of heat. then ur cooler have to move more air over the fins that deliver the heat over to air. hope this answers ur question

[jbeebrylle]

If I put a high video card will the performance be the same?

[CoolConejo]

If you are now Deciding you upgrade your video card to a " High End " one, Then you may want to Consider opting for More Upgrades Because Higher end Cards tend to Generate a lot of heat. I would Probably invest in some Decent CPU cooling,along with Your Chases. But To answer your question about the games. It really depends how far your stressing your Computer components because Prolonged Exposure to heat Lessens the life of your PC and its parts. Play games it's ment to handle, Dont push it.

[einsteinmc2300]

also one more thing, where do you go to check your cpu speed, usage, etc, your fan usage, speed, the temperature of the computer *very curious to find this one*

[yusufer5000]

Speedfan is what i use for monitoring all the vitals of my processor.

Liquid cooling works by circulating fluid threw a water block (a block of metal, usually copper, that sits on the cpu) to a radiator. the liquid absorbs the heat on the water block and to be expelled at the radiator.

"it doesn't look like the fan is getting to the cpu because of that black thing blocking it" what do you mean?

[einsteinmc2300]

well isn't the copper(sitting on top of the CPU) blocking the fan from getting to the cpu?

[yusufer5000]

ok, i think understand what you mean. see those copper pipes that are holding the fan up. those are heat pipes. they transfer the heat up the the silver fins that are cooled by the fan.

[PCWizKid]

I use the Asus Probe II tool to tell me all the info, but I have other tools also to backup and verify that the readings are accurate. also the BIOS has temperature and fan readings at idle.

[einsteinmc2300]

how does liquid cooling work?

[einsteinmc2300]

hey how does that work anyway? it doesn't look like the fan is getting to the cpu because of that black thing blocking it

[LizzyAston]

Try liquid cooling if you're man enough.

[sienare99]

i think there is better results if the fan is under instead of over

[rossmart34]

True that. Personally I wouldn't use this cooler because fried RAM is not to my liking, but, if you did install this you should put the fan on the bottom and then rig another fan on top, at a 90 angle, to get the hot air over to the rear exhaust fan/s... way this is made it's just blowing hot air on your RAM and then recirculating it inside your rig...not good.

[ComputerKid09]

my computer is on 76 degrees Fahrenheit on 23% CPU usage :)

[PCWizKid]

Actually I didnt use the FM123 Fan which has 2400RPM that would have cooled the CPU more for sure, I used a lower RPM Fan thats why.

[helehole]

tell me something:

how many GHz arenyour processor on

and how much hdd space du u have?

[PCWizKid]

Check out my link to the article that has the test system details on what you are looking for.

[taltigolt]

whats best the one u showed or this one

Zalman CNPS9700 NT SKT-775/AM2/754/939/940

im not gonna do sli i just want to keep the pc safe im not gonna do overclocking either i just want to be on the safe side

[PCWizKid]

Hold off! I have 3 more Coolers to show you! Dont get the Zalman you mention, it has a noisy fan! the NT06-E allows you to install a quiet fan. I also have a few other alternatives , videos coming out soon for you to see.

[Herooftimex]

ocz vendetta 2 is better

[Kaarel25]

Nice review!

5/5

[frulle1]

When are you building the PC?

[PCWizKid]

Its already built. I havent posted all the videos about it yet, sorry for the delay.

[garycheesefry88]

5/5

[PCWizKid]

Thanks for watching!

[Flutist7676]

Excellent! Keep up the work !

[UbuntuLee]

Nice, My graphics card in my MSI board has copper cooling. :D

[PCWizKid]

Wait until you see the next CPU coolers I got...

[nirvan5a]

nice idea.

[dabocx56]

nice

[Dannyizballin]

nice vid 5/5

[PCWizKid]

I could not do it the other way due to its design.

[Kingshan69]

Very nice :)

[arvutihull]

cool revew!

[coijoi]

very nice!!!!

[xXxatrush1987]

nice vid, but why you used it in a normal midi case? the whole airflow works against it, i would recommend a tower style headsink.

arctic freezer extreme for example, not to high- not too little.

[PCWizKid]

I agree, but my next cooler review is bigger, so I have the system in a larger case. You will see, the next few cooler I have are monsters. :)

[xXxatrush1987]

i'm looking forward to it man^^

just bought me a thermalright 120 ultra.

the high temps at the phenom don't look very nice, oc is impossible. but what was your room temp? when your benching it's quiet important to know the room temps(self explaining)

when i had 17°C in my room my oced x2 goes barely over 35°C under load

but when 25°C air temp the x2 runs about 52°C.

but the spaceship thing was cool man!^^

greetings out of germany!

[PCWizKid]

Hi, I posted an article on my site with details. The room temp is at 20C always for all my tests.

[Mupp1t]

what a cool review thanks PCWizKID i'm looking forward into more new reviews that you will bring to us :)

[srakso2]

Oh noes the Reaper wont fit =[[[

[atlaschooty]

nice review

[lukyjohncena]

When will you do a Windows 7 Beta review PCWIZKID?

[Astrapogiannos14]

Pcwizkid you should do a review on the windoes 7 beta.

[EverythingWindows]

Good review. But, when are you going to make your video on building the PC?

[kainaussie]

and u buy all this stuff y

[syberslidder]

good review, but seems alot of working installing it when you could have a zalman or an artic cooler.

[brokenmoth08]

But I wanna overclock! Good review. 5 stars.

[NikeySunfire]

good review, i can't say the same about the cooler thought...

[lard444]

aww man i wish i had this!!!!!!

I built my PC last summer and bought an OCZ Vendetta 2. Sadly cuz of school i'm gaming less, but this thing takes up all the space right up to the glass case side! No room for my side fan!!! good thing it was the antec 900 with the 200mm fan on top.

Hey speaking of RAM, can you do a video on OC your ram? My G.Skill isn't set to the speed it was retailed at, and i never got around to OCing it to the retailed speed.

[Newbpwng]

thats a one sweet azz cooloer

[georgekheiralla]

nice review...Mr. Ram Lover ;)

[cashcroppimp]

lolll

[JamboyStu]

Thumb screws on a HS, nice idea actually.

Good review :o)

[LuxOccuIta]

Overall: Great review! :)

[ZinayH]

I really enjoy your reviews!

Great Job!
