Re: [Cooling] Tips for installing massive HSFs?

said by Somnambul33t:

what caused you to wait so long to even try the Tuniq?

It was so giant, I thought the weight of the cooler may damage the motherboard. I was also toting it back and forth from college about every 6 weeks and ... I was afraid of torq, if that's the right word.

said by Somnambul33t:

while the E8400 is a nice chip, i dont think you'd really notice a difference over the E6750, especially when both have a nice OC. the E6750's lower FSB makes it OC easier since there's more headroom for the RAM before you even hit its stock speeds.

for example:
pc2 6400 RAM = equivalent of 400mhz FSB for Intel system
e6750 = 266 FSB. 400 - 266 = 134mhz headroom
e8400 = 333 FSB. 400 - 333 = 67mhz headroom

a difference.
e6750 is a 333/1333 processor.

I was planning on letting the AS5 "bake-in" and start upping the FSB next weekend.
