there you go mate, if i were you id buy one now, quality. And for 16 quid you cant go wrong.


i was gonna go for a Titan Amanda cpu cooler, but its like a f**kin loaf of bread and wouldnt fit in my case in the end :\

And it was suggested that it was best off left for a desktop style layout, as it risked damaging the motherboard if used vertically...

Its one of the most popular CPU fans, and id take a guess and say most people have motherboards vertically. Its very secure, and the holder things support the weight very well. Can't personally see it causing any damage in a rush tbqh. And its very light, but if you were unsure you could always add some support some how :rasp:

or were you talking about the titan?

If you add me to msn ill be able to tell you exactly what i did later on, and take some pics of my bios if that helps?

 

[Gareth]

yes that would be great if its no trouble mate. Can you PM me your address, can't see it in your profile.

Running mine at 3.2ghz no problem - dropped the multiplier to x8 and 400FSB which makes use of my 800ddr2 memory.

Titan. It's a gargantuan thing that was rated heaviest CPU cooler in THG IIRC...

Ah, fair enough, lol. Yeah its huge, bet it does a great job tho. I couldnt fit it in my case though :¬(

Ah well this artic cooler one is great. Altho my case has 4 120mm fans, one directly behind cpu takin hot air out, and a 200mm fan directly above my cpu, so that adds to keep my cpu temp down

 

[Tim-Grove]

I hope you'll be sorting the cooler out for something more substantial before clocking it?

yeah, was going to go with a Zalman jobbie.

ive got the Zelman Aero Flower its great. got my 6600 clocked to 3.2 and its running at 24deg at the moment on idle

 

[ollie]

Mines at 3.6 and idling at 33deg
