I was wondering, how much better would the mugen 2 be if it was direct heat pipe touch...

I still don't buy into HDT.

If they're so good, why are they outperformed consistently by Mugen 2s, TRUEs and Megahalems?

Panaflos are nice, but you can also try adding an Ultra Kaze 3000 for better cooling.
I did watch the video but aligning the mobo with the mounting holes was a lot more difficult than expected. Multiple times I slipped and put screws in the 1366 mounts. Fins getting caught on the mobo heatsinks... Basically not my idea of a fun time

Ultra Kaze 3000's are kinda loud. Any decent alternatives?

Sheer surface area and better fin design

And the Thor's Hammer cooler has those qualities right? Why isn't it more popular then I wonder.

There are goods and bads about HDT, which can be seen by looking at performance numbers on the 4-pipe version vs. 3-pipe version on different die sized chips.

The cool thing about a traditional design is that the base acts as an additional heatspreader and takes some of the guesswork out.

Probably not going to lap my CPU just to avoid reseating...

Temps are reasonably good but I'm already on the lookout for a better fan. Something with high static pressure and low decibels. Any recommendations? Anything cheaper or quieter than Panaflos?

Are there fan retention clips for 38mm or am I stuck with cable ties?
The gentle typhoon is your fan, trust me.


The high speed one is only 58CFM, but it has awesome static pressure so can outperform higher CFM fans. It also is AMAZINGLY quiet for the amount of air it moves. I went from a 1200RPM slipstream to a 1850RPM Gentle Typhoon, and not only did my load/idle temps drop, I actually have a quieter system now.

The Gentle Typhoon doesn't look to have a lot of static pressure as a 120mmx25mm. I was thinking of getting a 120mmx38mm Ultra Kaze (either 1000 or 2000). Is it worth the $12 upgrade fromt he stock Mugen 2 fan?
