Quiet and Cool. Thermal paste replaced! 38@idle 73@load

Did you use the x64 signed drivers?

You only need to do the CPU, northbridge is unnecessary.

The user decided to do the northbridge aswell but Coolaboratory wont work since it has aluminum so he used AS5 instead.

 

I don't think there's good contact on the northbridge if one replaces the thermal pad with just some thermal grease. The gap is too large. Yes there is contact, you get some paste on the heatsink base itself but it doesn't spread out all the way to the sides.

 

The CPU and heatsink were made of copper in the review at
http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling...iquid-pro.html

so, I think that Liquid Pro is dangerous and it is better to stick to AS5

 

I got RMClock workiing under x64 by following these instructions. Note that the file you download from the link is named with a 1 in place of an i. That stumped me for 2 mins... You need to change it to an i for it all to work.

Cheers. Currently priming at 1.2v and I'll continue to work down from there. Need to get full load temps down a bit!

 

Today I will change my T9600 into an T9800 because of the better (even) multiplier (11x). I will apply the thermal paste again and will use it @2,93GHz with RmClock in my notebook (a colleague who is not using RmClock will be using my 'old' T9600 instead.

Do you still doubt in my results?
Today I found this nice round-up of 44 thermal pastes.

There is a spread of less than 10 degrees in that chart. What is the actual power dissipation in that test? I read the write-up, and they only only mention a 230W Peltier.

 

Anything is dangerous if you don't know how to handle it. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be used. It is fine on copper.

 

I think power, contact size, thermal assembly and fan are different in this round up. The relative results can be compared but the absulut values are different because of the different enviroment.

Btw: I now have a T9800 CPU running in my E6500.
My voltages with CPU Genie are now:
800 MHz 0,950V=stable 0,950V=productive none=Failure
2266 MHz 0,950V=stable 0,950V=productive none=Failure
2400 MHz 0,950V=stable 0,962V=productive none=Failure
2533 MHz 0,975V=stable 0,987V=productive 0,962V=Failure
2666 MHz 0,987V=stable 1,000V=productive 0,975V=Failure
2800 MHz 1,050V=stable 1,062V=productive 1,037V=Failure
2933 MHz 1,062V=stable 1,075V=productive 1,050V=Failure
Superpi 2M: 39,343sec@50 degs, idle@38 degs, load@72 degs
Please can anyone post his stock or optimized temperatures with HWMonitor
and maybe your ik8fanGUI figures when changing the CPU load?
Here figures from my T9800 with full fan:

 

Has anyone used Coolaboratory Liquid Pro on a Thinkpad?

 

Heinz, did you disable superfetch? I usually don't recommend this, but it keeps the harddrive cool. Even mine is running two degrees cooler than yours, that's in an M4400 with QuadroFX 1700M.
