Well I just don't know what I should do now, at first I wanted to get my temps as possible so I could tune down my fans for silence... but I just can't seem to find out if my temps are good for standard clock at load with such a good heatsink and I dont think its the solo airflow. If I search on goo...

I have a this at the moment:

I5 2500K
Asus P8P67 Pro
8gb kingston 1333 (used from old setup)
Prolima Megahalems
Antec solo

I did some tests and at stock clocks im idle around 31/32 for all cores, load im getting temps 47/48° on all cores, sometimes core 2 tends to run a bit hotter.

So load temps around 48/50° with megahalems is more then fine right?

Now I just need to play around some with fans (what RMP I want for CPU fan/exhaust), or if im gonna use PWM fan.

Hmm well on that one site he gets 50° with a TRUE, I am getting a little lower temps with megahalems so I guess im more then fine?

I dont used to much mx2 it was fine, like a little rice thingy

So I assembled my system and did some load tests but I think something is really wrong with me my temps when I compare them to the guy who reviewed the CPU's on guru3d. Article : http://www.guru3d.com/article/core-i5-2500k-and-core-i7-2600k-review/7 The results above are based on the reference mothe...

let me know ur temps

At the moment im using Scyhte SY1225SL12LM-P on the megahalems connected to the asus mobo, i havent made any adjustments in the asus bios profile etc, it starts idle around 300/400, then goes 600 (almost never) and goes 800RPM on a full load stress test. I am very pleased with the noise it makes als...

I just assembled my sandy bridge system but can't seem to find a good choice for CPU fan & exhaust.

My first thoughts was a PWM slipstream for the megahalems, and an noctua at low rpm (400/500) for exhaust? Any advice?

If anyone has a good fan choice for megahalems/exhaust let me know

Im down the same road just assembled my sandy system with megahalem, still dont know what fan config I want to use for best cooling/silence any advice is welcome. Just mounted the SY1225SL12LM-P and its really nice actually :o starts around 500/600RPM and only ramps up till 800 while stress testing ...

I currently bought the I5 2500 non "K" version as I will never overclock, now I still have 8 gigs of ddr3 1333mhz would it be alot of diffrence if I would buy 1600 ones?

will post some pictures tomorrow when build is done

well like putting ear into the case a little to hear the noise

I just got 4 nexus 120mm black & white frame fans,

I used one at 7V and all 4 of them have a little "clicking" weird motor noise, is it possible because they have been in a package for a long time that they will get better once used for a while?

yea it does fit even have some room left like 1.5cm :p what I have been thinking about if the solo will have enough cooling with megahalem on the I5 2500 and one exhaust I think I should be more then fine? Most temps ive seen on the net are like 45°/50° load. still thinking about the MSI or asus 685...

yea im looking into that my friend will bring his to see it should fit I dont know how long reference is but that fitted atleast otherwise I don't know what card I will go with.

I think I would go with the Asus 6850 Dcu many have said its quiet atleast I hope from what ive read;p

Hello, I just made up my mind to make the switch to new sandy bridge aswell, heres what I thought off any advice is welcome. CPU : I5-2500 CPU Cooler: I have the Prolima Megahalem (hoping it will fit) Motherboard : Asus P8P67Pro Ram: 4x2 kingston hyper X (have these from old PC) PSU : Seasonic X750 ...

Hey so I got my twin turbo pro for my 6870 now im unsure what heatsinks to use at what vrm's. http://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/imagelarge/1287695089.jpeg , if you look at the upper side of the card you have 4 "memory I think?" and also 4 in the back then 4 in the front... Do I only need to cool the fron...

hello belgium

Aha those fractals seem nice aswell they are pretty much the same as the nexus ? Epsecially when it comes to the noise tonals it has or?

Its with prime doin some blend and also intel burnin, well temps go at highest 50° in antec solo case :) I guess its nice after all I didn't really know what temps to expect there for I am asking around. I am not sure what fans im going to use so far I use the S-flex E at 7v on the CPU cooler and No...

I just assembled my new system, I5 760, 8gb kingston, Asus P7P55D-E Pro I am using the Noctua Nh-u12p se2 cooler (with scythe s-flex E @ 7V) now idle I get temps around 30° and load 50°, also is it normal to have some cores run hotter then others? I thought it was... Are these temps fine on stock cl...

I can currently buy the X-750 for the same price as the x-650, is the X750 any louder (fan noise) then the x650 or shouldnt I be worried about that.

thanks

yea well as far as I have been reading the X750 does not make more noise then the X650 thats my only worry ;p

Well I really need a new system I don't mind having old platform aslong as everything works like I want it to. Any reason why you would pick the X650 I know 750 is way to much for my system but I got it the same price as the X650, I hope the x750 isnt making more noise if thats why you would take th...

I am currently ordering new hardware to build a new rig. So far I have these parts im pretty sure off to buy: I5 760 (Noctua U12P SE or mugen dont know yet) Asus P7P55D-E Pro 4x2 Kingston Hyper-X Corsair 2,5" SSD F120 Seasonic X-750 MSI Hawk 5770 (already have this one might go for 6870 upgrade, the...

Yea well I have been thinking to go with the Asus P7P55D-E Pro then (this one has the PLX chip), the premium/deluxe cost to much for what I need (gaming).

Well I have been thinking I might just take the CF you never know in the future if I would want to put in another one. Now I am thinking about 2 motherboards P55A UD4 (I think this one doesnt have the PLX chip so it will reduce the lanes for my vid card? anyone that can confirm this)? Asus P7P55D-E ...

I don't need crossfire, any reason you would take it above the P55A-UD4?

Hello I am kinda looking into buying a new P55 mobo with USB3.0/Sata6

Was looking into GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4 ?

Anyone has any advice on mobo's they have tested or using so far?

Thanks

Thanks alot for the effort ! I am going to buy the monitor really looks a nice one especially now I know 75 works thanks!

Thanks alot for testing it out :) I guess if the 800x600 works it should work at 640x480 to. Could you test that out in windows for me? It should be liste in the Adapter settings in windows settings, also you used VGA or hdmi input? If it can run 640x480 in windows I will probably buy it thanks for ...

Im planning on buying either a 5870 or 6870 and either going for the AC twin turbo pro or icy vision?

Any suggestions ? what would be the most quiet solution here? also do I need to buy other vrm coolers or will the ones coming with either of those do well enough?
