lol, I don't think I'm getting a new CPU cooler, this ones Ok, it does the job, sorta... :P

Have you tried putting a small amount of compound in the center of your CPU shield, about the size of a BB or small grain of rice and spreading it thin as you can over the shield with a credit card instead of doing that line from edge to edge like you talk about. The compound is just to fill in the imperfections between the two, not a layer between them.
 
once again, i dont really mind where he orders it from. some vendors offer a rebate, some dont. i love how you people are so quick to correct me on everything :D


what he's trying to say is that in the UK there is no such thing as rebate so there would be no money off the retail price. That coolermaster would be around £20 over here, or $40ish

Yeah, I've tried that, I got better results using the line down the middle teqnique. :confused:

My temps are 33c idle, 37c when using the internet and listening to music, about 42c when gaming and 55c on load.

What's the difference between having them soldered and not?
 
ooohhhhhhh!!!

kornowski those temps sound pretty normal to me, based on what i have read from other users of the chip. if you are only getting 55c at max load you can push it further... you don't need to worry until you hit high 60s
