Yeah it is, you'll need to get the Core Contact Freezer & Core Contact Freezer 1366 Bracket
is this cpu cooler ok with 1366
Hey guys. First post here
![]()
anyway, im gonna do my own build in a few months, and i need some help. Im getting the ASUS P6T mobo, which is a LGA 1366, and a friend suggested that i get Sunbeam Core-Contact cpu cooler. only problem is that it says they are only compatible with sockets 754 / 939 / 940 / AM2 / LGA775. I dont see mine listed, but there are a few reviews saying that they replaced the brackets to 1366 brackets and it works.
if it matters, im getting the i7 920 cpu.
Thanks!

Exactly right. ASUS released the P6T with both 1366 and 775 mounting for the board. But it is still recommended to get a 1366 mount:

ASUS P6T - Not the Deluxe Version but equally impressive...

Also, the P6T features both an LGA 775 and 1366 mounting hole pattern that allows current LGA 775 liquid cooling users to retain their setup. We still recommend that air cooler users utilize an LGA 1366 setup (native or mount kit update) although you could get by with a LGA 775 design in a pinch. |
what you think of your cooler tom? have you overclocked at all? how are temps?

The Megahalems is top of the line.
If you have the money, I would suggest getting it and a nice 38mm fan to compliment it.

so you wouldnt recommend a 120mm fan? That is also what my good friend recommended, the 120mm tri cool, because im getting an antec 902 (or 900) either way.

I'd say get something like the Delta AFB1212SH-PWM

so what CFM would you suggest for the megahalems?

It's not about CFM, it's about Static Pressure.
See, when you put a fan on Radiator (a heatsink is a type of radiator) the Airflow (CFM) is reduced drastically based on how dense the fins on the Radiator is.
Certain fan designs have higher Static Pressure (Pa or mmH20), and the higher Static Pressure of a fan, means the less the CFM will drop on a Radiator, and the faster/higher amount of Air moving through a Radiator, the faster it will dissipate heat.
Again, I'd say get something like the Delta AFB1212SH-PWM.

Not to be rude, but this fan only has one review, plus this fan is deactivated on newegg anymore. Is there anyway you can find a fan that you recommend that is on newegg?

Newegg just deactivated it when it went out of stock. It'll probably come back. Either way, it has huge static pressure.
Better than any other fan I've seen.

Ordered from Best to Worst, though the worst in this group (GT13) is an amazing fan.
