    Arctic Silver 3!!

    When I got this new HS, I also invested in a new syringe of AS3....

    It's incredible!!!

    The phase change system does improve the cooling over time.....

          Ofcourse!

          Here's a link to a PDF file describing the procedure!

          Alpa Pal 8045 Mounting instructions!

          My advice would be to not insert the retension screws (and springs) untill you have placed the HS on to the CPU so you kan look through the holes and position it correctly so youl only have to drop in the screws (and washer, springs etc) and tighten in the criss cross pattern described in the PDF!

          Good Luck!

            Would you believe it. I wait a while for a reply and then fink sod it i will just bung it on and consequences be damned. I get it on the machine and running again and then someone replies with a very helpful link. Weird eh?

              Funny enough, the last shipment of computer boxes we got at work has a nice BIG hole in the motherboard plate alowing installation of these kind of HS without removing the MB!!

              And Ofcourse I have the old version

              Congratz Birdy!

                hello there

                I got me one of those alpha rigs, with a delta fan for my NFARCE.

                The fan was sooooooo noisy, I couldnt live with it.

                I took it off my Athlon 1700, and put a fan from an old AT power supply instead. result! Silent running PC with CPU @40....

                I think it would probably run passive, those heatsinks are so good!.

                  I'm seriously considering to get one actually. I worked my but of a year ago to get hold of a Swiftech MC462, I couldn't find any on this side of the atlantic, so I resorted to an Alpha PEP66. It's good enough, but it looks I will get one of those 8045 anyways, they are actually available.

                    I't has been rather hard to find good heatsinks in sweden...

                    The Heatsink I used befor was a SK6 I got from Gtek.net....

                    I ordered two and when I found out how good they (sk6) worked I tried to order more....

                    NO GO!

                    They came with a silly excuse that the SK6 was to expensive, heavy, inefective and that it had gotten beaten in internet reviews.....

                    And promised that the cooler that was cheaper and performed better soon should be awailable....

                    Half a YEAR later the "better" cooler was awailable.....

                    A Powercooler that with the same fan as a SK6 performed pathetic.....

                    Oh, it was cheaper in both ways....

                    Their (gtek) excuse was that it was designed for high speed fans (noisy) and would work better whit a High speed fan....

                    Did a couple of test with a damn noisy 7000RPM Delta.....

                    The fan was still pathetic.....

                    Couldent even keep a XP 1300MHz belove 65 deegre mark

                      Yes I know that theme.

                      It's very hard to get anything that a "tweaker" may need here. We have mentionded coolers, watercooling components and so on and so forth. The only place that qualifies as good is gtek, and that's it. Kylning.com is adequate not more.

                        And Gtek is not what I would call "Good"..

                        If the SK6 did't sell, them they would have had a surpluss of them....

                        And I would not have balked at a Higher price as loong as I could have bought it...

                        And worse of all:

                        If something is out od stock and you ask em to send it as soon as i arives nothing happen...
