Thermaltake’s Big Typhoon VX is an aggressive CPU cooler that performs extremely well and now comes with a more powerful, variable speed fan. Unfortunately, the new tool-less mounting system left me unimpressed.

Price - $54.99 USD

I wonder if it really sounds like a typhoon. Then, I don't want it. I'm moving into silnet PCs. Can you believe my CPU's fan works at less than 1000RPM?!!!

No.... ayya, i dont need to know about your pc...

Ok. I won't talk about it again. :(

[ifadh132]

hmmmm i think i will use ma sweet single small cpu fan...

As i heard this is a silent HSF :yes: (around 30dB)

[Anusha]

The fan used on this is an Everflow F121225SM
Specs:
@12V default,
Speed = 2100RPM
Noise level = 37.5dB
Airflow = 86.59CFM (cubic feet per minute)

Processor eka 100% utilise wenakotath ehemada? :shocked:

Apooo ur processor fan is louder than engine:lol: :lol: :lol: :yes:

[Anusha]

I think so. The noise doesn't increase when the CPU becomes heavily loaded.

[Anusha]

I'm running a test to find out it now. Await results shortly...

[Anusha]

CPU at idle:

CPU at full load (100% on both cores using Prime95)

[Anusha]

So it reaches 2000RPM afterall. I didn't hear any difference in noise. Maybe the cumulative noise from all the other fans (chasis fan, two fans in the power supply and the GPU fan) could be higher than that of the CPU fan even at 2000RPM. :rolleyes:

I am? No way. I have given up fanboysm... (i don't think such a word exists in English, but you get the point no?) I like what's good and I don't like what's bad. Intel is better than AMD right now, so I'm with Intel. When/if AMD regains the honour of being the king performer, then I'll switch to AMD. It's not like politics.

That noise levels of the fan is wrong (it's not your fault, ok). I checked the fan and the manufacturer of the fan rates it at 37.5dB :( :rolleyes: Liars!!!

[chaminga_d]

I'm also INTEL but not IDIOT OUTSIDE

[Anusha]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: If you say so ;) ;)

[chaminga_d]

It is TheEverflow fan (F121225SM) is rated for up to 86.5 CFM and 34 dBA at 2,000 rpm when operating at 12V

[Anusha]

Oops. Small misunderstanding.,,:shocked:

I saw that article too, but if you follow that link to the manufacturer of the fan, you'll see it's rated at 37.5dB

Oh u have core 2 processor. Those pics mean that processor is energy saving processor than other intel processors neda.?

My processor is 3.0GHz HT, So when its fully loaded fan is increase to 2000RPM +/-. Errrrr. Its produce very big noise.:yes:

You didn't know I have a Core 2 Duo? Oh well....

Yes, they are energy saving CPUs. I didn't think it would reach 60C on full load though :( Maybe this stock heatsink is not very good. But I wouldn't buy something else, unless I buy a motherboard that can overclock my CPU. My current motherboard doesn't let me overclock. However, I got the RAM from 667MHz to 800MHz without increasing the voltage or loosening the timings.

Y? Did you bought an OEM mobo??? :confused:

[Anusha]

No, no. This is an Intel (DG965RY) in the Classic Series. This was the only motherboard I could find for the cash in hand + I needed integrated video as I didn't buy a video card until three weeks had passed.

Thing is, I wasn't gonna buy a Core 2 Duo in the first place. I was looking for the AthlonX2 3800+ because then I could use the two 512MB DDR400 and the two 160GB PATA HDDs I had. Since I couldn't find an AMD, I went with this E6300 platform. Gigabyte's 965P-DS3 was mouth watering, but it was about Rs.5000 expensive without integrated video. Anyway, I will upgrade the motherboard once I find enough money.

You do that! ;) (soon) :lol:

[Anusha]

No. Not soon. :( I might not have enough money to buy a new motherboard, at least until February. It might be delayed further as well. Because, who knows if it will overclock significantly? I don't want to overclock just to 2.4GHz or something. I need to hit 3GHz. Otherwise, it's not money well spent.

But when the 965P-S3 or 965P-DS3 prices come down to less than 10,000 range, then I might go for it, even for a mere overclock. (mere in terms of the overclockability of a E6300 - people have reached 3.6GHz on some chips)

Besides, I don't need that much processing power right now. More RAM is what I need.

:shocked: To hit 3GHz you'll need to do sumthin abt coolling as well :yes:

[Anusha]

Not really. You only need to increase the vcore slightly, and I think the stock heatsink can handle it. Anyway, I might go for a 3rd party cooler.
3GHz is not extreme overclocking for a Core 2 Duo.

Ohh, I hate that Intel stock HSF! :no: :lol:

[Anusha]

Who doesn't? :confused: But it's better than nothing. I mean, for E6300 at stock speeds, it's more than enough.

[dpg]

Well, yeah... :yes:

[Anusha]

Well, yeah... :yes:

I wonder if the E6700 gets the same stock heat sink. If so, then it's not that bad.

[Anusha]

I just read that this is the same cooler than comes for Prescott CPUs, which use more than twice the power of E6300 at stock voltage/speed. I think the stock HSF can keep up with a 3GHz Core 2 Duo.

Not sure abt that, but i found this\/ :)

It is impressive to find so much overclocking headroom in these Core 2 Duo processors, and that is headroom that does not require water-cooling. Using nothing more than the XP-120, which might I add is a rather old but trusted heatsink from Thermalright, and a quiet 120mm fan, the E6700 was more than happy to hum along to the tune of 3.66GHz.

Yes machan, I saw sum HSFs & They look exactly the same! (E6300 HSF & sum 5xx,6xx HSFs)

LoL, My Prescott(630) sometimes heats upto 70C! :lol: (In stock - Which is bad!)

It is not that bad. They were supposed to reach those temperatures :lol: :lol:

[prasadana2]

not bad

[zCexVe]

Guys do actually Intel or AMD change there HSFs for processor?i thought they change it only for series?

[pasanlaksiri]

Ya ya They were supposed to reach those temperatures then cooling fan is try to cool processor then fan is produceing very big noise. That is very bad.:lol:

Processor fan noise is equal to more than 10 normal fans.:shocked:
