heat pipe heat sink! did you know there is 2 revisions..?

[accurateimage]

Hello!
Well last night a retarded thing happened to me while I was cleaning the inside of my pc! WOOHOO! Well to make a long story short as I dusted it with all the power off I could not figure out how to blow all the dust out because I was out of compressed air cans. So I did a stupid thing and decided my little 60mm delta fan off my heat pipe blows allot of air so I would use that to blow out the inside. Well it did a dandy job! Now comes to blonde stupid part *LOL* I thought since all was working well and the system did not overheat by the time I got done blowing it out I would just hold the fan on and put the screws back in. Well I got 1 screw in and went to put another in on the opposite corner and WHAP! The blades made contact with my middle finger shattering 2 blades and lifting up about 1/2 my fingernail! That is what I get for messing with a 60mm fan with sharp blades that spins at 6,800 rpm-7300rpm. Well with blood everyplace and about 300 4-letter words at 2 am *L* My fan was dead and I could not run my pc. So off to fried electronics to see if they had any 60mm delta fans available. Well the did not so I bought a new heat pipe sink and am going to order a new fan online for the other and slap it in my girls pc. Well when I got home I examined the new sink and found that the latest design is a bit different with 3 more fins per side and all of them are thinner for a total of 32 per side, not 26!!! and upon install my pc is running 2-3 degrees colder with the new revision! So if you are in the market for a heat pipe, make sure you get the 32 fin version!

Ouch, that suxs... well at least you got a better fan out of it. It only cost you 1/2 a finger nail...

So were are the pics???

[accurateimage]

yeah it really sucks, finger is throbbing like crazy.. and same fan jsut better heat sink *L* Think I may loose all the nail, oh well :) My problem for being stupid *L*

[eviltechie]

LOL!!

hope u learn from this mistake!

that is a really ouchy blonde moment AI...
but u alright???

how much is the new heatpipe??

[CiKoTiC]

Let's have the skinny... does severed body parts speed your system up? I can spare a finger or two. :P

[accurateimage]

Hey think the blood helped cooling hehehe *LOL* Also the new designed heat pipe cost the same and has the same model # so you cannot tell them apart unless you look at the fins! Just a new revision to it, and yeah I learned from my stupid mistake, had no idea one of those little delta fans had that much power!!! But hey it's cool :) makes for fun conversation !

[accurateimage]

One note, the heat pipe that toms reviewd is the 26 fin version...

[eviltechie]

still.. how much is it?

dont u have a grill on ur delta?

mine came with one, and i know the reason why they put it there.... :lol:

[accurateimage]

You can get the heat pipe shipped most places online for $29.99 US. It is worth every penny, but when you order online there is no telling which version you will get since I have seen or heard nothing about them changing the original 26 fin to a 32 fin.

[eviltechie]

and does it come with a fan or do you have to buy seperately (adding to the cart)

[accurateimage]

no comes with a 60mm delta rated at 6,800 rpm min "mine runs at 7,331rpm. Rated at like 37cfm, the tiny thing blows some air! Also yes it does come with a grill but mine was removed for the fan was off the sink with no screws to hold it on

[accurateimage]

here is a link to what it looks like

[eviltechie]

oh ok

fatal mistake in a mistake = finga cutta

chop chop, and yes...

i think blood will make it run cooler
because it ruins the system and make it inoperatable
so temp at "loaded" = room temp...

[accurateimage]

*L* naw did not short anything but spotted the copper on the old sink, had to run my dremel with a buffer on it to clean off the spots *L*

[accurateimage]

Thought you guys would like to see the two pipes, if you look close you can count the sinks on the revision 2, it is a little hard to see for I had to take it in my pc, did not feel like taking it out *L* then the other pic of the revision 1 is easy to see.

[CiKoTiC]

Any idea if the CFM is higher on the rev2 than the rev1? I was thinking of getting a 60mm 50 CFM Delta to replace the 36 CFM fan that comes standard on the heat pipe.

[vee_ess]

I don't see why there would be increased CFM's, because all the increased number of fins do is increase the amount of surface area. More surface area equals more heat dissipation.

[accurateimage]

The stock fan will blow an equal amount of cfm's period, but the amount of air that actually makes contact with the copped and carries the heat away is increase allot...

[vee_ess]

Okay, so the same exact fan is used, I take it (it was an inclination of mine, but not conclusive). Then...

Exactly. More air is touching metal because there is more metal that can be touched.

[eviltechie]

larger total surface area = :biggrin:

how loud is the stock fan?
and how much air does it move?

[accurateimage]

The stock fan is a delta 6 which has various ratings from 37-42cfm, and as for sound it is a little loud but with my case under my desk it is tolerable. I wouldlike to however to an 80mm-60mm adaptor and run two parallel 80mm fans on the sink to reduce noise and increase airflow. Because as eevryone knows the blowing air through a straw makes more noise than blowing it through a pipe *L* In other words the little tiny 60mm fans noisy especially at 7,000 average RPM.

[eviltechie]

yeah

im thinking i should clean my CPU now and get rid of old goo and add new goo

should i?
the clip on CAK38 is hard to use...

[accurateimage]

Ordered in today 2 60mm high speed fans made by ys tech to run a dual fan setup on my 32 fin heatpipe. Will keep you all posted on how it works! Here is the company that I purchased the fans from!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2062335888

The ratings on them are...
Fan dimensions: 60 x 60 x 25 mm
Connector type: 3-pin RPM/4-pin Power
Bearing type: two ball
Fan speed: 6800 RPM
Fan airflow: 40.1 CFM
Static Pressure: 14.2mm-H20
Sound Level: 48.2 dB (A-weighted)
MTBF: 75,000 Hours
Rotation: Counter-Clockwise
Power Consumption: 7.20 Watts
Current Draw at 12VDC: 0.60 Amperes

[accurateimage]

Oh yeah if your useing artic silver 3 there is really no need to apply new goo, once it is stable the stuff stays pretty muchthe same, the white crap on the other hand turns almost hard after awhile *L*

[eviltechie]

actualy some good quality silicon thermal paste last a long time too
the one im using will last for about 8 years

[eviltechie]

yeah show us a pic of your setup

btw
that site likes to steal stuff...
that gif of the spinning fan is copied from globalwin's site

[accurateimage]

That sucks, they need to use their own stuff! And what pics do you wanna see of my setup..?? Many posts have pics of my rig :)

[CiKoTiC]

More pics of your GF would be nice too. :biggrin:

with the new fan setup you are doing...

but heh
:eyecrazy: :browsmiley:

[accurateimage]

*L* no Cik asked for pics of my GF and he was not talking about my geforce *L*

[eviltechie]

well im really curious how u are doing with ur setup

i wanna see what master AI has under his sleeves :lol:

[CiKoTiC]

AI's GF needs no mods. She's already overclocked. :wavey:

[eviltechie]

im talking about heatsink...
Ordered in today 2 60mm high speed fans made by ys tech to run a dual fan setup on my 32 fin heatpipe.

that setup...

[accurateimage]

Fans should be in tommorow, the company shipped same day first class mail! Finally a company that does shipping like me *L*! Will post pics when done and results.

[eviltechie]

lol

nice

how much is the shipping?

[accurateimage]

Was like $5.95 via first class with delivery confirmation.

[eviltechie]

thats some bucks...
couldve bought a Arctic Silver 3 with that kinda money!

oh well
u rich, im not :lol:

[accurateimage]

Have 2 tubes already or whatever you call them *L* And I cannot get a high speed 60mm fan anyplace here locally :(

[eviltechie]

man spare me a tube

ive never used AS3 b4
only saw AS2 in real life

sigh...

what fans did u buy?
u bought 2 60mm?

[accurateimage]

naw dude as3 is worth it's weight on gold *L* and the squirter it comes in is tiny, only 1 gram tubes. Good stuff though! ALso I posted up the fans I bought on the first page, they were two ys tech 6,800rpm 60mm delta fans :)

[eviltechie]

YS Tech delta???

[accurateimage]

yeah a delta copy or relabled.

[eviltechie]

so 50 dba?

40 CFM?

[CiKoTiC]

I'm currious to see how your going to mount 2 fans on the HS.

[accurateimage]

Will show ya hopefully tonight, also that is the ratings!

[accurateimage]

Hello!
Installed the dual fan system on my 32 fin heat pipe today! Results are awsome for an air cooled heat sink, running 1.85V core at 1900mhz "1897mhz" the sink runs at 98-99F!!! Upon peaking this useing seti I see a max of 103 so all in all I am seeing around a 6-7 degree drop in temp on average! Sweeeeeeeeetttt!!! Fans are a little louder but not much and boy adding the second fan really increases RPM!!! the 6,800 RPM fans now both spin at around 8,500 RPM because they are both helping eachother out! Here are some pics and now a side by side comparison of the two sinks with the same model #....

[eviltechie]

i dont think they will last very long when spinning that fast
just becareful keep an eye on that after a couple of months

ive seen ball bearing fans start smoking because of friction when spinning too fast than it is designed to
because the lubrication will eventually break down unless you use Quakes lol! :lol:

but yeah, good setup
how heavy is that monster now?
btw could you show me a good description of how exactly heatpipe work and how well it work with real numbers

thanks in advance

[CiKoTiC]

I would make damn sure that thing don't break the notch the HSF is clipped to.

[accurateimage]

Actually not that heavy man :) No worries I have a head on my shoulders *L* two 60mm x 60mm x 25mm fans are super light :)
