Yeah, I have uninstalled, reinstalled several times. The thing with the stock hsf is that you can never really tell if it is on all the way. The twist things are crap, and come off easily. Also, my room temp. is 22.9 degrees celcius, and my comp. is idling at 68 degrees celcius. That temp. is after staying on all night, under no load.Cromewell said:Have you 'tampered' with the stock heatsink? ie. changed the thermal paste, if you have try reappling it. The other thing may be my house isn't to warm, typically 19C on the upper floors.
I used Arctic Silver 5. I dont understand why mine didnt work either...I guess it must not have been on right....I honestly dont see how thats possible, because there is only like one way it can go on. I even re-did it 3 times, every time was the exact same, on snug as hell. I ordered this heatsink because you dont need to remove the mobo to get it on. I figured if this one doesnt work, I will return it and try another one....But then again, if the TT BT didnt work, and this next one doesnt work, I dont know what will....I'm kind of beginning to think somethings worng with my setup/CPU? I dont know, we'll see what happens.helmie said:26 Idle, 37 Load.
Never went past 45 C at 3.95Ghz. Load. I love my Big Typhoon.
I dont understand how yours went wrong b182tm. What thermal paste did you use? Once its on right, it is an amazing cooler.
