pneumagger Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Looks great and fits great in my case (300 Illusion). Push pull config with Corsair and 3 speed fan. The 3 speed fans (front, top, & back) are all on medium and it's WAY quieter than the old OEM cooler. I have the rear radiator & front 120's as the intake and the PSU/top 140/side 120 as the exhaust. AS5 spread evenly on the lapped CPU is the compound. Installation was a breeze. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g45/jrm33/100_1011.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g45/jrm33/100_1013.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedi Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Very nice. Thanks for sharing the pics. Also, very clean wiring in that case. What kind of temperature readings are you getting from the CPU at idle and 100% utilization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pneumagger Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Honestly, I don't really know of a good program to be using for that kind stuff - so I haven't gotten a chance to load it or take good readings. My ASUS MB came with AMD Overdrive and PC Probe II. Idle/Load used to be around 34/40 on the stock cooler. Now, PC Probe says 33/39 but AMD Overdrive says 23/28. I'm not sure which to believe, especially since both programs read all 3 cores as the same number all the time - like they are not true readings. That and the fact that it I doubt 23 is possible when the room is 23. Truthfully, I won't know until I discover something that can log true core temperatures and something that can do stress tests. \ The only thing I can say is that whatever the outcome, it's not for lack of thermal paste. I tried that "rice grain sized" dot of AS5 and it covered the CPU like a 200# chick wearing a g-string. :sigh!: Spreading it uber thin with a razor took a good amount more than a rice sized dot.
