Has anyone used the FX888D at the lower temp settings? I've seen ratings of 120 degrees and up. Any comments?

Sorry Andrew, I have not used the iron at low temp. I'd give it a shot, but I'm away from home.

Googling 'Hakko fx888D I find that leaving off the 23YB gets a silver unit, not blue and yellow. The owner's manual is available here: http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fx888d.html Dimensions for the tips are here: http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fx888d_tips.html#productNav Copied from the newegg web site: Hakko FX888D-23BY soldering station (digital). This station improves upon and replaces the model 936-12. This is a workhorse station that will last for many years. Long tip life and easy replacement. Includes an iron holder with waterless cleaning material. 110/120 volt unit. Details: The Hakko FX-888D is an inexpensive yet durable temperature adjustable soldering station that provides more power and takes up less bench space than its predecessor (Hakko 936). The added power of the FX-888D provides up to a 30% increase in operator productivity due to the increased thermal performance and faster thermal recovery time. Today, workbench space is at a premium, and the FX-888D uses approximately 35% less surface area compared to the Hakko 936. Other features include: * adjustable temperature control (digitally controlled) * temperature range 392-896F (200- 480C) * maintains idle temperature within 1.8F (1C) * ceramic heating element and sensor ensures rapid heat-up temperature and fast thermal recovery * Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature display * temperature adjusted by up/down control pad * slender iron handles are padded and have an ergonomic design for comfort and ease of use

If you are working with a 130W Six-Core I would say get a different cooler. If you want quiet then google this "liquid cooling quieter than air cooling" to get some articles on it.Here is some information from "Noctua Low-Profile NH-L12 is a low-profile" TDP guidelines1) Our recommendations are based on an ambient temperature of 25°C or less. If your ambient temperature is significantly higher (30°C or more), we don't recommend running the NH-L12 in single-fan mode on 130W Intel or 100W AMD CPUs as well as in dual-fan mode on 125W AMD CPUs. For all other setups, please ensure good case ventilation when ambient temperature is 30°C or more. If you are working with a 130W Six-Core I would say get a different cooler.

U just have to use low flow and keep on heat. The lower the flow the hotter u get. U should not have to go so slow for 80deg. I get up to 125-130

I have the same problem as several other reviewers; mine no longer works in Fahrenheit, only Celsius. The lowest setting is 7 C.

I'm running 4.433 on stock right now. Temps can get warm but not detrimental if you turn up the cpu fan speed. Completely stable as well.

I use it below 40 with no problems. It generally only heats up to 102 when it's really cold. It cools pretty quickly if you use the jets. It's pretty awesome in general.

I had my FX 8320 until, it was fine for the first day then i had overheating problems, it may have been because it was defective, now I replaced it with a FX 8350 and that is a solid cpu with no problems at all. The motherboard has to have at least 125 watts max tdp or more for it to work, check for that on your motherboard model on the web under specifications.

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine.Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

I just did a test with a digital meat thermometer. On the slow water setting and all other settings on high the temp got up to 135. It also seem to keep the temp steady. If I stopped the flow of water the temp jump right back to 135 when I started flow again.

i wouldnt suggest OC on stock heatsink. the EVO 212 looks similar to what i got (Arctic Freeze 7 pro), i have my system OC at 4Ghz and in a full tower case i get no more that 55 C during the summer (in oklahoma we have high humidity for the summer), and now with winter set in it stays sub 45 C

I have this running on a 9590 currently, and it does a decent job. I range between 27-47C. I had a different setup before with dual inline radiators, but I have not had the time to get this setup implemented again.

Im only running two sticks right now. I over clocked them so they run around 45-50 degrees celcius and with the cooler they are running around 40 degrees. Of course im eventually going to get the other two sticks

I am gaming on the board with a intel 4790 and a GTX 970. I do have an aftermarket cooler (air) on the cpu but honestly probably don't need it. Highest temp in stress testing was 48c. you should be fine with stock heat sink.

I got mine up to 4.7 and kept it below those temps under load with the stock AMD closed loop liquid cooler. At 4.4Ghz mine stays under 55C under load, At 4.7 it stays around 65c under load, and at 5.0Ghz it can get as hot as 75c under load. 4.7ghz is 100% stable but 5.0ghz isn't exactly stable but I haven't done a ton of tweaking with the voltages and my cooler is only the AMD 120mm closed loop liquid cooler in push-pull so it's not top of the line by anymeans. Keep in mind just because mine acts this way it doesn't mean everyones will, every piece of silicon is different and there are so many variables such as what cooler you have, how good of airflow you have, how well you applied the thermal paste, and what kind of thermal paste you're using.

I found the same thing with both my units. That is, if I want the room temp. to be 78 degrees, I set the air cond. for 74 degrees. No big deal.

I run in the low 60's if I have the card maxed out. I have these running in SLI. I have a high airflowcase also. You should set up a custom fan profile through MSI afterburner if you haven't already. Everything I see online seems to say that is a safe operating temp.

There are tons of high quality tips available, check the Hakko web site here: http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fx888d_tips.html#productNav As for temp range this unit is variable and will answer all your needs. The only units better cost hundreds more. I love my unit which I use for guitar mods from light heat wire solders to high heat soldering to the back of potentiometers. No worries and plenty of options with the Hakko fx-888.
