Cheers for all the glowing reports guys!
Just got back from this weekend away
, but to chance to test it out
- work to do!!! arg! I'll have tomorrow evening free, though.
gurusan, I think you can twist it 90 degrees, I was thinking of doing that, but having seated it in, and screwed in the Mobo, I was in no mood to try again! maybe I'll see if its any better when I get around to wire cleanup/ plug the Zalman in.
One thing, I left it formatting over'night', i.e. about 330 am to about 630am, and before leaving, I noticed the GPU was pretty hot. Particularly in the patch on the cooler presumably over where the chip is. Now I don't know if the fan was spinning or not (I had concerns earlier, If you read), but the gpu was only doing enought to process the windows format GUI, presumably not much. Is this a problem. I'd say it was warm to hot, but easily touchable. When should the fan be on: all the time or does it just go on to cool things
How can I tell the GPU temp anyway?
Many thanks for the ongoing support- really appreciated.
I think I'll leave things installing while I work!
