I bought a i7 3770k based set-uo
comes with the intel heatsink/fan Are these traditional type fans okay, or should I go with one of the newer 'heat pipe' or liquid cooled types? Will be running Ubuntu Studio, watching/editing HD videos in addition to all the other 'normal' activities (surf, office, etc) |
|
I would never run a stock heat sink. I've never found them to be adequate, and there are plenty of inexpensive heat sinks that do a much better job. I have been very happy with my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. Under load I run about 29 degrees C. |

If you want to see results from liquid cooling, I would suggest spending around $150 for a pump, reservoir, and your heat sinks. Definitely a buy once, cry once area. |

I have been very happy with my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. Under load I run about 29 degrees C. Back in the Netburst, 140+W days, that was true. But these days, the stock fans work just fine, you can load those cores up and not have them thermal throttle or go into dangerous temps. Water cooling is for basement dwellers that want bragging rights on the forum sites. |

Water cooling is for basement dwellers that want bragging rights on the forum sites. we have an earlier i7 cpu in a file server we use for back up. as it sits, is works great..... but... we temporarily needed some help with some GIS layer rendering, so we put it to task.. we can easily get it to throttle back due to heat. We're replacing the heatsink on that soon. I think i will see how the stock fan assy serves me before upgrading mine... I don't plan on any gaming, unless this Steam thing, porting games to linux works out. |

The only advantage is that they take up much less space in the case, but they're also more expensive. The 212+ is pretty much the best value. |

They must be junk Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile In my circle of computer junkies, only 4 of us overclock enough to work our systems to a point where cooling is a concern. I regularly talk to 25+ people several nights a week who are gamers as their major hobby, and only a small amount of them actually take overclocking seriously. The large majority of them are happy with performance out of the box, and don't feel overclocking has enough advantages. With the stock heat sink, and a good amount of overclocking you will cause physical damage to your processor before the motherboard shuts it down, and any evidence of outside influence on the processor typically voids warranty. Simply put, offering a warranty wins them sales and they earn more money than they lose on replacing CPU's that go bad. |

The newer i7's run are much more efficient power wise. |
| i used to buy cpu cooling fans from these guys they work great |

It runs "hot" becuase it is a 130 Watt chip. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
