Crawlerz246 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I may very well invest in a d14 and maybe try to sell this guy. I gotta say tho I did a through vacuuming this past weekend (much better then anything I've done before) and I gotta say EPIC ammounts of dust of course. and running the 4.01GHz OC w/HT I gotta say P95 topping out at about 72 as you can see and we all know those temp might never be reached in day to day operation. VERY good. [obvious self-promoting plug] this is my first self-build and I am just as happy as [insert some funny reference here] with it. thing booted up from the first try and worked ever since.

Crawlerz246 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Clean machine, good airflow = win I think I can actually see about 3 degrees difference - truly amazing. p.s. I read that the D14 is nearly 3lbs? holy crap! won't that break the mobo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryDoun Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Much better temps! I dont see any reason to upgrade your cooler if your temps stay in that area then! Really anything less than 80c for 24/7 operation is great on those 920's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazypoloc Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Your idle temps are still a bit high, this usually points to not enough fresh air getting into your case, which results in a high internal case temp. Unless your ambient temps are high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Those temps are very high for that voltage. Not much better than the stock heatsink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstone Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 p.s. I read that the D14 is nearly 3lbs? holy crap! won't that break the mobo? I would recommend that all the mobo holes have a screw to the mobo tray to insure sturdy, strong connection, but really just check the d14 specs and the installation instructions. Their engineers will know if it will be able to be supported. If I had the cooler I could tell you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the cooler I could tell you. ofc all the mobo holes have a screw. what am I a moron? first thing I did was bolt it down according to A-B-C holes (or whatever the case may be) p.s. a follow up question - what household liquid can be used to get thermal paste off the CPU? can alcohol be used?

I guess I am because my mobo is installed without all the screws. hahahahahaha I just use a clean rag to remove thermal paste.
