At least you're happy with your purchase.. I built a AM2 system around this supposed 35W Windsor only to find out it was a 65W Windsor. I tried calling in to get a refund and they kept insisting that the product information never advertised a 35W Windsor. ... ... Darlene: Our RMA department and my ...

I'm using a Zalman ZM-NB47J on my DFI Infinity NF UltraII-M2. With no fan, I was seeing up to 67C, but didn't have any stability problems. The Zalman was hot, but not enough to burn you. The BIOS seems to think the NF4 chip is safe up to 90C. Still, I decided to add a case fan blowing up at the Zalm...

Exactly which DFI Infinity NF4 board do you have? I just setup a NF4 Infinity Ultra II-M2, and the latest Speedfan controls all the fans I have connected thus far. I have fans on the CPU, chipset fan, and the system fan. I have not tried the two chassis fan connections. For the chipset, I replaced t...

Yep, it's definitely the X2 65W Windsor 3800+. Core voltage is 1.21V. Still, my Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro would seem to be able to passively cool it. If I turn the fan off completely, the CPU temperature doesn't rise, and it's only sitting at 30C. How can you argue with that? I've never had a CP...

Argh, seems I was a victim of this as well! The description clearly said 35W and ADD3800AA5CU when I placed my order on 11/11. Then the part suddenly went out of stock after mine shipped. Now when I check my order history, the description has completely changed and it says 65W ADO3800IAA5CS. Of cour...

Well, I can verify that the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro fits on the Infinity UltraII-M2 with all RAM slots occupied. However, I was incorrect in my earlier assessment of maximum heatsink width. It turns out my 5" was based on having only slots 3 and 4 filled. If you want to use all four slots, the...

I just got aDFI Infinity Ultra II-M2. I spent hours pouring over CPU cooler dimensions and reviews and measuring the motherboard. I ended up with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 pro. It fits great, and you can orient the fan to blow in whatever direction you want. I think you can populate all four DIMM...
