ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7

DavidWright05 · 12-17-2007, 07:58 PM

I just ordered this heatsink and I notice it looks like it has a grey pad on it on the bottom, but it does not say either way on the instructions. The installation instructions do not say anything about applying paste though so I assume this is a pad?

its a thermal pad....

DavidWright05 · 12-17-2007, 08:24 PM

It isn't that hard to take off. Took me less then a minute.

I didn't take it off mine I used what was on it and It keeps my e6750 cool just fine even at 3.5ghz. You'll be fine either way.

You don't have too, but if you want the AS5 which is a little better then you do.

you could expect 5C decrease from pad to AC7, but eh its no big deal my proc runs fine on the pad lmao

I was reading about this and a fair amount of people said the stuff that comes on the Freezer 7 is better then AS5 in some ways. I just used the stuff that came on mine and my temps are pretty low. Speedfan says my CPU is 30c and Core0 and Core1 are 13c.. Anyone know the difference from CPU temp vs Core0 and Core1 temp? Is CPU temp the core0 and core1 temp added together or something?

They are not added together. It is a common problem for speedfan to read the core temperatures wrong. Just go with the cpu temperature.
