Easy fit fan?

Mr. Fiddles · 12-February-07, 09:09 PM

...for E6600 in eVGA 680i? I can't be assed with removing the motherboard as I'm told I need to with a Scythe.

full-load I get 70c @ 3.2ghz on stock.

I don't need THE BEST but y'know. 55c load @ 3.2ghz would make me a happy bunny.

Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

^ Something I can get there preferably. Or Overclockers UK

Im pretty sure that ALL decent (by decent I mean TT120mm, Noctuas etc) aftermarket coolers require you to use a LGA775 backplate for mounting.

You certainly don't want to be loading at 70c... im at 3.26Ghz with my E4300, loading at around 52c with the smaller Noctua and silent low RPM 92mm fan.

If you have the dosh, and the space, I would seriously recommend one of these.

Im guessing you're in the UK as you wish to buy from OcUK (my fave online retailer

), have you heard of the British F@H division?!

Moreso than the Scythe Ninja?

Man I THINK I have the space. Check my sig. I have a Lian-Li PC61 case, it's quite wide. The only thing is I have the passive cooled XFX 7950GT with the mass of fins on the top side of the card. Will it get in the way?

Also where can I buy isopropanol rubbing alcohol from online?

Yes. More so than chips cheese and curry sauce.
