nh-14 is the best air but man toughs fans it comes with are ugly! i have a antec 920 and it does ok almost as good as a h-100 , i know it and the h-100 are both not the best but i like being able to see my gear.....
@LavcoPriceTech You shouldn't have to get Cooler Master to send you another bracket. Anyone who has built their own rig would think there was something wrong, because coolers aren't supposed to move.
Anyway, you showed a lot of people what NOT to do, which is always a good thing.
I played around with those brackets, trying to get it tighter. It's the height of those two "nipples" that keeps the cooler from locking down tight. Sand them down a bit with 600-grit paper, and it will work.
@ALPHA2258G33Z3R the cooler still performs well even with the wiggle, I am glad we showed what not to do as you stated but its really not necessary to mod the cooler
@LavcoPriceTech Good to know. I was taught they HAD to be tight. But then, I was also taught to spread thermal paste evenly over the core surface, while today everyone is putting a little blob in the middle and calling it a day.
Keep doing what you do. You guys look like you're having fun, and that's how it should be.
It snapped because you tightened it too much. I have this heatsink on my CPU (i7 950) which is O/C'ed to 4GHz and it idles only a few degrees above ambient and never goes over 50°C.
So yeah, the wiggling is fine. The thing wasn't designed to have its brackets tightened using a breaker bar. User error, completely.
@RB5566 Oh yes I know, but they did send me an alternative mounting solution. Its basically the mounting off of the V8, 4 "bolts" tightened down with 4 nuts. Secure in every corner, and I swear I get better temps too.
@LavcoPriceTech What I was getting at was...if you had bad temps, it was because you installed it incorrectly or used too much/not enough paste. I was getting idle temps of 35 with a 32 ambient...even at a 4GHz o/c on a Q-core processor and never goes over 50°C. I'm even using 1600 RPM fans without an issue, it's whisper quiet.
The whole point is that it's not defective...it works if you put it on properly. If you need better temps than what it will provide then you're just being picky.
@LavcoPriceTech Is it possible to get the V8 Mounting from them without having to go trough this? lol I am getting the same cooler but I keep hearing about the loose wiggle around it has due to the poor mounting it comes with. I know the V8 has good mounting but doesn't cool better than the V6.
@RB5566 it was definetly USER FUCKUP, im sorry bud but its not an automotive part .as long as you have the cooler against the cpu its fine and if it moves thats fine,i can move a 500 lb fixture on a granite table but its still 100 % contact so again big doo doo on your part bud.
you're a fucking idiot, man... "i've workd on CARS before..." - you're LUCKY you didn't obliterate your MoBo (that's motherboard, dude) - i was waiting to see you pull the backing plate through the board LOL.
I have an MAD machine and had the same problem of wiggling, so what i did was change the orientation since for the AMD system it comes with another bracket!!
I have installed my share of coolers in my day, 25 years into computer builds. You really should not of used a socket like that. If you did everything CoolerMaster suggested for installation and it was lose, you needed a replacement. I am surprised you didn't crack your motherboard. This comment was not written to insult you.
@xmutator Yeah it was a bad movie, I am glad we did it though to show other people NOT to do it. The V6 GT just wiggles, we had another one and it did the same thing.
For future reference, if there's wiggle, that's probably the way the cooler is meant to be. There's some wiggle on my TRUE 120, and it cools extremely well. What you did... well, computer's aren't cars. :-P
@TheTazzyT haha yeah thats what it does to you, btw I don't take protein. I got fat all by eating food. You should checkout a more recent video to see how fat I am now. Please leave a comment too!! Thank you!
the curve is centered for better contact to the location of the cpu, in all actuality you really wouldn't want a perfectly flat surface as your just spreading the heat out over the cpu. This way you pull the heat away and don't hold it at it source till it is pulled away.
i watched that video later on .I decided to get rid of mine(V6) as it will only mount facing upwards on a socket 775 EVGA 790 I Ultra.I was happy with its performance,but i know based on my Thermalright eXtreme black in the same push pull config it could do better blowing front to back and exhausted .Good videos tho keep doing what your doing
didnt read all messages but did you guys measure the heatsink baseto see how elvel it was ? how flat was it ? I know my Beta V6 was not flat (slightly higher in dead center) and caused the movement.I polished it down to almost 0% and it fit snug.It was mentioned during Beta testing that it needed to be closer to flat and movement was VERY noticeable (and unacceptable)
@biohazardsperm No, we didn't check the flatness of the plate and I would have no way to machine it down any further. I expect a product to be perfect when I buy it. Check out the V6 fix video, it uses the V8 mounting solution and eliminates the movement and I think give better temps.
I'm still using the stock AM3 sync/fan that came with my phenom II, and a Cooler Master HAF 932 case. My temps never go above 35 on full load, granted I'm only at 3.5Ghz. What temps are you aiming for?
@GamerAndReviewer Yeah It works great with the stock mounting solution but I am much more comfortable with the V8 styled brackets. How are your temps by the way?
@GamerAndReviewer Nice, you should download prime95. Its a free program that maxes out your cpu. I am currently getting 25-27 C on my i5 at 4.0 ghz while I type this and zune software is running.
Im pretty sure the v6 has a convex base.....
