Coolermaster Susurro Athlon 64 Heatsink Review - Page 2

This type of HSF is aimed at system intergrators who must consider many factors that enthusiasts don't or have no idea what to look for in business and type of customers. SI buys OEM processors. Hence, AC has a line of low and light profile HSF.

By the way, my 4-heatpipe stock cooler is running as quiet as a kitten, @2.4Ghz the fan at 2xPrime won't run over 2,800 rpm; watching a movie, it's tunning at 1,100 rpm. At this setting, temp never exceeded 44°C.

I hate to bring up a dead thread but I have the Susurro and was wondering about disabling the thermal sensor. Do I just cut it and short the two leads together? Or leave them apart?

I had replaced the fan with a stock/junk fan but would feel having the original back in place would be more aesthetically pleasing.

hi,

, welcome to the forums,

you don't need to solder/connect the two ends, just removing the temp sensor will make the fan run at max speed, but would suggest hooking up to a fan controller because at full speed that fan is very loud

Cool, thanks for the speedy reply. Man I have to say you do some awesome work. I'm learning tons from your site. Thanks for putting in the work for the rest of us who seek knowledge.

So, I can just hook the cut thermal leads to a potentiometer? Or would I need to splice in and regulate the power?

removing the thermistor will set the fan to full speed, then plug the 3-pin power either directly in your mobo 3-pin header and change fan speed through software, either in BIOS or through speedfan application; or you can hook up the 3-pin of the fan to a fan controller

Excellent, thank you sir. My PSU makes more noise than anything anyways so it really doesn't matter at the moment.

cheers.

Oh my god man that thing screams.

told you so

Is there a way to fine tune speedfan? I mean it takes steps in 5% but 45% gives me 0rpm then 50% starts me off at 3000rpm up to 60%/max/3500rpm. I would like to fine tune it to a reasonable level so I can sleep in the same room with it idling. Maybe another app?
..edit..
Because I don't have a hardware control yet. Don't really like the idea of hardware fan speed controls anyways.

what motherboard do you have?

17th January 2007, 12:20

MSI K8N Neo4-F MS-7125 v3
MSI Core center software speed controls won't change it at all.
Neither will nvidia's nTune application.
..edit..
I'm getting the feeling I don't have a choice but to opt for a hardware speed control.
