(VOLCANO 11+ Xaser Edition)......... SWEEET!!!



http://www.thermaltake.com/products/heatsi...ink/v11plus.htm

w/ a 3 pin to 4 pin cable

that's too much heatsink for a wo....errr....man like u

nice sink,nice fan,and that stupid grill to block the air.
I took mine off and droped another 2 degrees

it really blocks the air?

Sweet cooler bro!!

Let us know how that baby cools. :wink:

Thanks... will probably need help installing it... so i hope you guys will be around for some tech support hehehehehe...

The price was right... so I said eh wtf why not.

Are these bad boys hard to install? or a piece of cake?

LOL! my computer will probably blow up LOL!

Really... it blocks thte air flow? eh... if its not needed the why not..

Odie, I would like to know how you fair on that HSF. I have considered getting it since my 2000+ on my nforce2 (1003 bios) is running in bios @ 50+C and under 50C acc. to MBM. I think i just need to put a temp sensor on the cpu cor itself (NOT!!!!).

Aaron i will let you know when i receive it...

sweet man... ya gona have to do a review on her...

mc, you are the coolest. For once, I didn't have to ask. :wink:

The 7+ was easy to install, and I had to use a screwdriver.

I felt that the setup of the leadtek board made it even easier to install, moer room and better connecter.

Hey odie, did you forget to let us know how the cooler is working? I really would like to know. Thanks dude.

I have it, but its sitting on my shelf... haven't installed yet... afraid i am going to fry my cpu

Why do you think it will fry your CPU? Or is it your installation you're worried about? :wink:

Odie, you can do it. Just be very very carefull and take your time!!!!!!!

Question...Is there anything on the bottom of it? Goop or thermal glue or anything?

Nothing ont he bottom of it.. no thermal pad, grease, etc etc, it does come with a little bag of paste for the CPU. I am assuming it goes on the core??? or the centre square of the CPU

Now if I take my old heatsink off which did have a thermal pad, should I clean the top of the cpu core with something, or just slap onthe paste and throw the heat sink on???

I know, stupid question, but i never did this before.... anyone??? help???

Well, guest.

You should clean off the CPU. Get some AS or equivalent. Put some on the bottom of the HS where it will contact the core, and then wipe it off with a lint-free rag of some sort. This gets the nooks and crannies.

Next, put some on the core of the CPU. Most I have read say about the size of a grain of rice, I have always used just a wee bit more. Spread it out evenly over the core with a small piece of paper or something flat. Get it nice and smooth.

Then, slap that bitch on there and pin her down!!!!

Here are a couple links to help you out:

Good luck and you know where to find us.

Just be careful with the arctic silver as it is conductive... it will short out those little L1 bridges (AMD will not honour warranty when Arctic Silver has shorted out a CPU) also you want the surface layer very thin as the compund is only supposed to fill in the minute crevices between the core and the HeatSink. (I've seen thick blobs of compound actually cause higher temps.)

Be careful when you "Lock it down" align the HS and press it down evenly and hold it while you clip the back side and then the front side with a screwdriver... Watch out for traces near the front clip on the board you dont want to scratch or cut them as well.

I've seen cracked cores from improperly mounted HS's...

Here's a good installation video from AMD, they use a retail HS with a PAD on it but that's not the important part. :wink:

Give it a go it's easier than it looks

Troll, my video has a far superior sound track. :wink:

yea but his comes from AMD themselves :P

PS have u lapped that HSU while its off and not on the chipset yet?? :wink:

Just watched it Bull, I thought I heard that track in a 70's porn flick once...

And mine just has skanky ole, well enunciated instructions...

Would be a NICE HS to lap... so much work though...

What do you expect from a software geek.

One of you fine gentleman to fly up here and give me a hand

Send me a ticket bro!!! I am off work this weekend. Stock the fridge though, it takes alot of, ummm, concentration to do it right. :wink:

you want Molsen? (ace's beer) or Molson? (candian beer) LOL :wink:

Hmmmmmm, if I do the "real beer, I will probably be a cheap date.

have u put the HSU on yet??? Did u lap that puppy YET?

No and............... no

Why not and......................why not?
