| thetonestarr said: I have that heatsink in my wife's computer. It's pretty stinking good. My computer's got one that's sitting at an angle so after the air passes through the fins, it then passes over the north bridge of the motherboard and is pulled out the back of the PC. My system is pretty much a wind tunnel. Idles at 29ºC, stresses at 38ºC. |
I had something similar in my case before the little 90mm fan on it seemed to always be at top speed, just was not big enough for the job http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185140
it would idle the core in the 28-33 range, but under stress at stock it was 58is OC is was 68ish i resesated it a few times, but the cores had a speared of 10c frequestly, on the new heat sink 58ish is OC at a high rate, im sure i could get it down more but im not a big fan of loud fan noise, all my fans are on low, 4x120 + 1x140 in case and heatsink is 2 120s ..... the other thing that could help is getting ram with a lower heat sink, the current heat spreaders mean the front fan on the heat sink is off the sink by about 1/4 an inch
