boo50 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 hi there ! i have a good cooling case with sound dampening (Nexus Breeze) and stock cooler from Intel is boring me. it's too loud. i wish a noiseless system and thought to buy a Passive cooler... have anyone use passive coolers? or know which is good? on my case i have a cooler downside, which get cool air and he's will flow to passive cooler directly, i thought my case good for passive coller usage, but which cooler to use ??

bofors Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I think you really want to good active cooler set at low speed (they can be inaudible). See this excellent and current review: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticl...915&articID=433 But if you must have passive then check out the Scythe Ninja here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article251-page1.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-135612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo50 Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 i choose one of this two. Thermaltake (CL-P0114) Big Typhoon - active and silent. Scythe Ninja PLUS - passive and active. i can use with cooler or without - as i wish. http://www.scythe-eu.com/products/cpu/ninj.../scnj-1000P.php thought Ninja plus is a best choice Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-135721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemad Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm using the Zalman CNPS9500 AT (Sockel 775) on my P4 Dual 930. Now we have here 30°C+ in Vienna and with 100% CPU load I have under 52°C@1500RPM. I have also 2 low noise 12cm fans in my Case undervolted@7V. The loudest components are my HDD's now... lg Mikemad Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-135748 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loudest components are my HDD's now... lg Mikemad +1 on the Zalman. Keeps mine at 4.0 to under 60*C. I seriously doubt youre going to get away with passive cooling on an 805, even at stock speeds. Its a well known fact that the Smithfield core doubles as a great space heater Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-141160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conroe Mac Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I've got the Ninja. The heatsink surface area was really uneven. It took hours of lapping to straighten it out.

boo50 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 finally i have bought TT Big Typhoon cooler and change TT 12cm fan to the Glacialtech 950 rpm (really silent).

TopazBar Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Boo50, Did Typhoon cooler and Glacialtech 950 make a BIG difference for you in terms of fan noise? What made more difference, the heat sink or fan? Because I don't overclock and stock heatsink seems fine for what I do (about 39-41 C), I'm think of just replacing stock fan for more silent one. Any recommendation on silent fan for stock heatsink? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-184281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo50 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 TopazBar --> i change heatsink specially for the silence. Glacialtech VS TT have a big noisy difference. and i don't need extreme cooling, because i havn't overclock my CPU. i need a silent PC and i got it.

And my Conroe is overclocked Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-191701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mifki Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah but Conroe is much much much Cooler, so it doesnt count here i think Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-191716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatot Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah but Conroe is much much much Cooler, so it doesnt count here i think I use Zalman for my D-805. It's about 40 degC now, while using Intel's HSF the temperature is about 60 degC... It's very quiet as well ... Now the noisiest part on my PC is PSU cooler ...

aberracus Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Zalman has some silent PSUs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-193218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofors Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I would look at Silverstone and Seasonic PSUs for silence. Moreover, this Silent PC Review has excellent reviews: http://www.silentpcreview.com/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20477-passive-cooler/#findComment-193255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
