Bullgarrafuerte Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I am new to the Forums so any answer will be appreciated ::pirate:: I was able to install my Corsair H60 and after doing so the I was able to see that the backplate could be completely removed. I have currently a Core I5 3750K Overclocked to 4.2 @ 1.2v stable. Temperatures in my house are between 25c-17c in the night. While running Prime 95 large fft test I am able to see that temperatures go to 76-80 at the most. Idle Temperatures (with all c-states) are always around 38c-42c. I know temperatures are a little hotter than Sandy Bridge but my question is, should I care about the pressure that the 4 mounting screws are or could be exerting over my motherboard? I do have the backplate so I could re-install the cooler. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullgarrafuerte Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 My problem was that I was able to install the H60 without using the back plate. I re-seated the cpu block only that this time I was able to actually READ about how to properly install the H60. My ambient temperature is somewhere around 17c and CPU idle temps are now in the low 30s'!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
