ALPHA17 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 ^ You can switch on the PC instantly if you feel like. The set-in period will carry on without hampering your work apart from anomalous temperatures. Sent from my ST27i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Just received Arctic Silver 5... now how to apply it? Checked the internet.. some say pea sized amount in the center.. some say vertical line in the center and others say spread manually all over... H E L P To drive home Alpha's point, the heatsink should have the paste spread evenly and think, like so : The paste will be covered more evenly actually. You can spread it around manually as well. Just don't spill it over the edges, keep a small margin so that spillage is avoided. The paste will anyhow spread once you push the heatsink onto the CPU. And, if not satisfied, clean it off and start over again. Lulz : I remember doing it so perfectly onto the CPU directly, and then placed the heatsink with plastic tape still stuck to the copper base. Big deal, just touched it up again, removed the tape and good to go. Temps stay within 65 degrees, on i5 2500k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Also, after how much time of switching OFF my PC should I apply the paste? It will be faster and easier to do it as soon as possible after switching off your PC. Just be careful with handling the heat-sink as it may still be warm to touch.

devil_angel Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I went for a raw positive setup. Two intake fans (120mm) on the side. Two intake fans (120mm) on the bottom. One exhaust fan (80mm) on the upper rear. One exhaust fan (120mm) on the lower rear Two exhaust fans (120mm) on the top. Damn good results with manageable dust issues. Noise levels are on the higher side though :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 ^Which fans? BTW this is my case: I have the rear exhaust fan, two intake 140mm fans at side and one front 140 mm fan exactly as shown in the pic. Now I am going for two exhausts at top and one intake at bottom. Good idea? Is that bottom one really required? What air will it pull from ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 ^^ No need for the bottom fan. Dusty air and that also not exactly of any import. The intakes on top sound good. So go ahead there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Okay ordered 3 of them just in case. Let's see how much it reduces the temperature. Even in winter the games are heating it up. And I have already cleaned up most of the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 ^^ What games are you playing, also how is the wire management inside there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 ^^ What games are you playing, also how is the wire management inside there? AC4. Also Crysis 3. Wire management is like this, add a few more small wires of side fans: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screenshots would be appreciated. Also, you might want to route major cables (like the 24-pin and CPU 4+4-pin from the rear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Also, you might want to route major cables (like the 24-pin and CPU 4+4-pin from the rear). What rear? There is no space to do that. What temperatures are you getting Sir? Screenshots would be appreciated. AMD 1055T's max operating temperature is 62 C. I have kept my motherboard to give warning beeps at 60 C and shutdown at 62 C. So it is giving me beeps that means CPU is at 62 C. I will play Crysis 3 and post the screenshots. GPU Temps are never a problem though, it runs quite cool. The cooling system given with GPU is quite good. CPU is the major PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 So here are the temperatures after playing Crysis 3: Notice the core temps. It gave me a beep after it reached 60 C. I have no idea what that TMPIN1 and 2 is, but 70 C doesnt look good. And all this after I opened one part of my cabinet, else it reaches 60 C in not time.

Even I don't know what that TMPIN corresponds to. Can be independent internal sensors on the motherboard for monitoring of temperature. Does not look good, beep basically means the software is issuing a warning to you at a pre-defined temperature limit. Never keep the cabinet open, it screws up the airflow.

Big Boss Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Never keep the cabinet open, it screws up the airflow. If not then even 2D games give warnings It is mostly because of winters, the room fan is off. Will see if installing new fans fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are pretty spiffy, yes. I was asking you about the game because you were surprised about its cheap pricing and I thought you wanted to copy. Cheerio!

Big Boss Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Those are pretty spiffy, yes. Yeah, those are practically noiseless and have good airflow. I wanted blue ones but those were not with WS Retail. Dont trust other sellers on FK. Still I will go with green for exhaust and blue for intake.
