mate i dont want the zalman now ;0

check that site : www.overclock.co.uk

can you tell me what more i need from there that can go with the giant II

like would ramsinks be anygood becuse im thinking they may not fit .....

or instead of ramsinks what about the zalman bracket and 92mm quiet fan ???????

would that be better than ramsinks ????? or would that not fit aswell ????

TuEKiD · Aug 6, 2003, 07:27 AM

if it covers he ram on ur board it prob wont fit, if it doesnt then go right ahead an buy it... this thread isnt exacly for the OverClockers forum.

I tried the zalman heat pipe and ordered a nice ocsystems one piece cooler very similiar to the one above you are looking at. the zalman performed exact same as stock and the ocsystems one gained me a whole 5 mhz both on core and mem. Not worth the time, effort, energy and money if you ask me. I would just stick with stock cooling or seriously mod it with a stock amd hsf or something....

and how would i go about seriously modding it then ?

are the parts to do it on www.overclockers.co.uk or www.overclock.co.uk ?

if they are tell me what to get and when the parts arrive walk me though this lol

though didnt the zalman one you got have no cooler on it ? it was passive right.

i was thinking about getting the giant II and the zalman bracket and 92mm fan for extra coolness

shuki · Aug 6, 2003, 08:06 AM

do you have any old heat sinks laying around? I know I've bought two retail amd chips in the past and never did use their stock heat sink fans so I've those laying in a box.... then I would lap it with up to about 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper on a flat surface (glass is good) and finish it off with brasso

Then mount it on. Get ya some cheap thermatake ram sinks and you'll be set. For a good idea on mounting the heat sink see here

ViRuS2k · Aug 6, 2003, 08:17 AM

dam to complicated for someone like me mate lol i would probably cut myself again LOL last time i tryed something with my grafix card i nearly cut my thumb off with a razor blade :P i just ordered the giant II and zalman bracket and 92mm fan

im hopeing that is enough for a good overclock

its gotta be better than my stock overclock 372core 342memory

When I first put my Zalman on, I got the same results. Then I added the side fan and I droped 20 F while under full load.........

shuki · Aug 7, 2003, 01:47 AM

I've got a 120mm side fan already

Zalman was the suck for me....

The_Neon_Cowboy · Aug 7, 2003, 05:22 AM

the new zallamans are nice

ViRuS2k · Aug 7, 2003, 07:01 AM

well i ordered the Giant II and zalman fan bracket with 92mm fan i hope this will be way better than stock overclocks for me lol i just hope this giant 2 will fit in my a7v8x motherboard. i should have the stuff i ordered today at 3:00pm so i will let ya know how it goes.

krazy1 · Aug 7, 2003, 07:31 AM

I don't see why the Giant II would not fit with your Asus board... THat is the board I am using and it is the board my friend has who has the Giant II.....
