The included slot fan is pretty good.

what version did you buy?

I have the Rev B....E6600 overclocked to 2.7 Ghz (mild overclock..lol) and my temps on on full load is 47 degrees Celsius using Orthos... (I actually ran this for 27 hours non-stop and my temps stayed at 47 :D ) And thats in purely passive mode... no fan on the ninja. I have the P5B Deluxe wifi ed. ...

I would check that the heatsink is properly seated first on the Motherboard. with the 775 socket set, you have to make sure the pins are pushed in properly.

my sentiments exactly...lol.

I bookmarked this thread and check it every day to see if new pics have been uploaded. I may perform these same mods on my own P180 when I get the time.

My temperatures are displaying much lower then before however I was using the Asus AI Suite to read my temps.

I know there is a thread somewhere on understanding how to read your core temp..

So should I use this to base my CPU temps on?

I also have a raptor (74 GB) in a P180 in the lower chamber ...the seek noises are audible but I am able to live with it. I actually like to hear when my hard drive is doing something..

The noise isn't annoying at all however noise is very subjective as many would attest to.

You can mount the fan on any side of the heat sink...


as you see in that image...there are notches to clip it on on all sides.
as for the retention bracket...I wouldnt know..I never used an AMD before.

If you leave in the Toronto Region, you can visit their store. I recently bought my Scythe Ninja from them.

I have the ASUS p5B-deluxe wifi edition plue the Ninja Scythe (rev b) e6600 @ 2.4 Ghz (no over clock) I had no problems installing the heatsink with the motherboard still attached to my case. I am running this heatsink in passive mode so no fan is attached. My temps under full load is around 60 degr...

I have the ASUS P5B-Deluxe Wifi and the Scythe Ninja (fanless)

i was also getting the CPU fan error..to disable it go into the BIOS and under CPU fan RPM Monitor...select "ignore"

That did the trick for me!

Acoustic Products are usually pretty good.

ASUS Wifi is what I have...

The xtra goodies are what did it for me.

my LG H22L is a pretty good burner as well.

Actually, my Intel Heatsink was noisy even at idle. When it heated up, it was much worse hence my reason for a upgrade. I am most certain you can get a batter value for your money.

Hi folks, This is my first new topic post. I recently built a new system using the advice on this website. I dont know how I became so obsessed with quiteing my computer but I must say, it has been quite an experience. My new computer build features these components: 1) ASUS P5B Motherbord - Wifi Ed...

The Fan screws are self-tapping . They have a little notch at the tip enabling them to screw into plastic if need be.

lol...I am in the same boat.

I actually have the WD2500KS (16 MB Cache, 250GB, SATA II, 7200 RPM) and it isnt very loud at all. I believe it was reviewed here at SPCR and it really is one of the best. I am running 4 hard drives (2x 250 GB, 1x 74 GB Raptor, 1x 500 GB external SATA) and they are all Western Digitals. The loudest ...

for power supplies I would recommend Seasonic and heatsink would be Scythe Ninja.

I would go with Seasonic. Very very quiet. Their newest ones (M-Series) are modular which is an asset to get rid of unwanted cables.
