Alpenföhn Peter Installation Test Rig Processor (CPU): AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 Memory (RAM): GeIL Ultra Plus 2000MHz CL9 4GB Graphics card (GPU): ASUS ATi Radeon HD5870 V1 1GB Hard drives (HDDs): 2x WD 250GB Caviar SE, 1x WD 500GB Black, 1x Samsung 2TB Spinpoint F1 Power Supply Unit (PSU): Zalman ZM600-HP Case: Fractal Design XL I’ll be testing the cooler on an ASUS HD5870 V1 1GB, on which the cooler is not supported. This didn’t turn out to be a problem at all, one just has to put the heatsinks on the right places that need to be cooled, with a bit of creativity all parts can be cooled just as well as on supported cards. Please note, this isn’t a ticket for guaranteed success if you try this cooler on a card that isn’t supported, it just happens to work fine on this card. That said, let’s move on to the actual installation. Installing this cooler is quite a pain in the ass as there are many steps that need to be taken. After dismantling the stock cooler one has to supply all the heat-generating parts (like memory, VRM’s, etc.) with the supplied heatsinks, by applying these with the heatpaste/glue that Alpenföhn supplies with the cooler. After that the main heatsink can be mounted on the card, but this isn’t a very intuitive process and has to be done with small screws, instead of a proper thumbscrew system. The next step is to mount the fan bracket and then mount the fans, whereas mounting the bracket in a slot is a pain because of the many small screws that have to be tightened. With everything in place I came to the shocking conclusion that this cooler uses five slots. That’s F-I-V-E slots, leaving a total of two slots on my oversized and well-featured GA-990FXA-UD7, Gigabyte’s flagship. As you can see in the picture, the heatsink, which, again, weights well over a Kilogram, really puts heavy pressure on the card and tends to pull it down. I don’t like heavy parts, especially not on horizontal mounts. A picture of what happens to your always-so-clean-and-spacey case, after you install this beast of a cooler. It’s actually possible to use two of these heatsinks in a dual-card setup, which is surprising considering their size. You do need to mount the fans atop the cards though instead of infront.

Alpenföhn Peter Suiteáil Rig Tástáil Próiseálaí (LAP): AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE Motherboard: Gigabyte EN-990FXA-UD7 Cuimhne (RAM): GeIL Ultra-Plus 2000MHz CL9 4GB Grafaic cárta (GPU): Asus ATI Radeon HD5870 1GB V1 Thiomáineann crua (HDDs): 2x WD Caviar SE 250GB, 1 × WD 500GB Dubh, 1 × Samsung 2TB Spinpoint F1 Aonad Soláthar Cumhachta (PSU): Zalman ZM600-HP Cás: Dearadh XL Fractal Beidh mé ag tástáil an with ar HD5870 Asus V1 1GB, ar a bhfuil an tacaíocht with. Ní raibh an dul amach a bheith ina fhadhb ar chor ar bith, tá ceann amháin a chur ar an heatsinks ar an áit cheart gur gá iad a cooled, le beagán na cruthaitheachta is féidir gach cuid a fhuaraítear díreach chomh maith le tacaíocht ar chártaí. Tabhair faoi deara, an ticéad isn'ta do rath ráthaithe má tá tú iarracht seo with maidir le cárta nach bhfuil tacaíocht, a tharlaíonn sé ach a bheith ag obair fíneáil ar an gcárta. É sin ráite, a ligean ar bogadh ar aghaidh leis an tsuiteáil iarbhír. Is é seo a shuiteáil with leor pian ar an asal mar tá go leor céimeanna nach mór a bheidh le glacadh. Tar éis dhíchóimeáil an stoc with tá ceann a sholáthar ar na codanna teas a ghineann (cosúil le cuimhne, VRM ar, etc) leis an heatsinks ar fáil, trí chur i bhfeidhm na leis an heatpaste / gliú go mbíonn soláthairtí á Alpenföhn leis an with. Tar éis gur féidir leis an heatsink is mó a shuíomh ar an gcárta, ach tá an isn'ta próiseas an-iomasach agus a dhéanamh le scriúnna beag, in ionad córas thumbscrew cuí. Is é an chéad chéim eile a mount na scriosaidh lucht leanúna agus ansin an lucht leanúna mount, ach is é gléasta na scriosaidh i sliotán a pian mar gheall ar na scriúnna go leor beag go bhfuil a tightened. Le gach rud i bhfeidhm a tháinig mé ar an tuairim shocking a úsáideann seo with cúig sliotán. Sin CÚIG sliotáin sin, ag fágáil iomlán de dhá sliotán ar mo oversized agus dea-feiceáil EN-990FXA-UD7 príomhthionscadal, Gigabyte ar. Mar a fheiceann tú sa phictiúr, an heatsink, a, arís, meáchain go maith thar gach cileagraim cuireann, i ndáiríre brú trom ar an gcárta agus bíonn a tharraingt sé síos. Ní maith liom páirteanna trom, go háirithe nach bhfuil ar ghairis cothrománach. Tá pictiúr ar cad a tharlaíonn do do chás i gcónaí-sin-glan-agus-spacey, tar éis duit seo a shuiteáil Beast de with. Tá sé i ndáiríre is féidir úsáid a bhaint as dhá cheann de na heatsinks i thus dé-chárta, a bhfuil iontas smaoineamh ar a mhéid. Gá duit a mount an lucht leanúna bharr na craoibhe na cártaí cé ionad infront.
