Kabuto Compatibility List

Then.....i installed the Kabuto finally, it was very hard to instal correctly the clips on the mainboard and i needed to take out all the components!!!!

Temperatures are ok, 5° less then intel boxed and in full 59° on the hottest core (72° with intel...)after 10 render multi core in cinebench and 10 cpu tests of 3dmark 06

Regarding the monster fan on the side pannel: SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kabuto fan and Monster fan are only 6 millimeters far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES:

NO PROBLEM WITH ASUS P6T SE
NO PROBLEM IN ENERMAX MIDDLE CHAKRA WITH MONSTER FAN!!!!

sounds nice, but 6mm are not that much, maybe you can try it without the fan in the sidepanel so kabuto get more air.

Gigabyte GA MA790FXT-UD5P is fully compatible in either mounting position (I opted for the recommended one with the pipes upwards). I've got G.Skill DDR3 bars with fairly large heat spreaders (total height of one bar is 5 cm), but there still enough room between the RAM and the heat sink to not cause any mounting problems.

It may, however, be necessary to readjust the bracket's side clips, but that's about the only issue I can think of (and one that can be solved easily).

Some first impressions:
With a closed case and a room temperature of 28 °C my idle values hover around 40-41 °C. Under full load, the highest value was 49°C. And all with a fan that remained < 1000 rpm (and of course at a very low noise level, too).

Some points I may need to specify:

The heat sink covers the first RAM slot, so there is the restriction that modules with a height > 5 cm may cause problems. With my G.Skill bars, there are still about 5 mm left before one touches the heat sink's fins.

With a closed case and a room temperature of 28 °C my idle values hover around 40-41 °C. Under full load, the highest value was 49°C. And all with a fan that remained < 1000 rpm (and of course at a very low noise level, too).

As to me the most important aspect was to get as little noise as possible, I opted for using an Enermax Cluster fan (PWM controlled, 500-1200 rpm, 8-14 dba, 45,04 - 90,08 m³/h airflow). So if some background noise is not an issue, one may be able to trim down these values a couple of degrees by using the original slip stream fan that shipped with the package.

Does the Scythe Kabuto fit on a ASUS LGA1156 P7P55D PRO?

[ivota]

Hello !!

I have ASUS P6T SE, i7 920 1.25V 3.8GHz and Scythe Kabuto.
How I know that I fit cooler in the best position?
CPU temperature reach 92C (prime95).

Some testers have max temp 88 C (3.9GHz, 1.35V).

Do I need re-fit cooler?
Thanks for advise, sorry for English.

Hi -------------cpu temps??---------------
(maybe not a question for this forum but related to CPU cooling)
I have i7940 and run the OCCT tests. Because I'm new to OC I wonder where in witch test they go to 88C and your processor is not harmed when going to 92C?
What temp program are You using? The prime95 temp reader?
I OC to3.84GHz and when getting 75C I stop, this in OCCT. PC Probe show 65C but I dont trust it. rely on the highest. Termaltemp for i7 what I read in Intel specs is 67.9C.
Anybody!!!

Hello again !!

After enable in BIOS Load-Line Calibration, CPU temps droped 10 C lower.
Now, CPU tepm is max. 82 C (prime95 and linx).

My spec. is: CPU 3.6 Ghz (180x20), 1.25V,
Load-Line Calibration=Enabled (I wonder, what is magic? )
HT=disable
Turbo=disable
All other settings=Auto

Ausu P6T SE, 2x3 GB Corsair XMP1600, i7 920
The system seems stable....

@AiAiAi
Try check default settings for i7 940, check temp (it will be over 70C).
When I checked i7 920 at default settings 2.66 (20x133) all settings AUTO, Kabuto cooler.
Temp was 72 C (prime95, full load). So ....68 C ??!!

Hi Thanks I will try this.
I understand you wonder about my temps.
Have a look at my Albums there are some info about my build.
I see the computer as one unit where all parts are giving heat by
convection or radiate energi not only the CPU but also NB, SB,Grafic
card and the motherboard.My board produces about 100W.
All needs to be cooled down.Therefor I have many fans 2x90 m3/h exhaust
at top, 2x25 m3/h backside and in the sideplate the Big Shurikan, 65 m3/h,
from the CPU to supply air to grafic card, SB and NB and last one
Noctua 90 m3/h feeding direct to the CPU fan.Plus one 50 m3/h at the bottom
supply to grafics and SB.


On the CPU I put a Noctua 90 m3/h high pressure fan to push throw the
narrow heatsink of the B-Shurikan as much air as possible.
This to increase cooling air (increase from 65 to90 m3/h)
This air comes direct from the room and is 22-23 degC by the fan in
the side plate.
I am trying to take out more than supplying to get the best airflow
as possible inside the chassi.By this air also will cool the NB,SB
and motherboard
Also the grafics give heat but at the same time work as exhaust fan.
Many things are important like how the paste on the CPU works as donductive
connection.
A good test showing applying paste (p9) and paste conductivity (p2):

I use a plastic on the table and get of the exsessive paste of.See my albums.


Another thing I've invested in is a good fan controller, Scythe Server, first
I had a Zalman but it broke down. This new I've noticed gives higher fan sppeeds and good control and automatics by tempsensors.
All fans, regulators,flows and volts are not precise and they are sold with
specifications of +- 10%. This gives in total situation for a fan when bad of -20%, i.e a fan of 1200rpm will run only 960rpm.
I've made some testing uring the build and don't think I can increase the cooling and lower the temps more. Axually I have been looking at the Kabuto and beleive it should bee able to do the job for OC.
I think I mentioned the most important parts I've done so have a look at my albums and evaluate my doing.
Hope it will be of some help to You.
Laws of nature "energi can not be destroyed just change and will be equalized until no more differens of energi level" This for all energi heat,pressure.......
My temps at the moment only OS running typing: CPU 34,MB 27,SB 41,NB 46degC.
Thanks for Y info will try.
