I never ran the stock fan. I had an extra scythe so I put it on before I booted the machine up. I'm getting 33c right now at stock speeds.
on what cpu? and is that load or idle
edit: let me take your tricycle for a ride.

Make it fit on your video card.
That would rock. You would need to fab your own mounting bracket though.
You'd also have to do some extensive modding of the heatsink, like, shave one side down so it fit against the motherboard.
However, I've seen people put Sonic Towers on video cards, so I bet it's possible.
Some guy did that with an x1900xt which was my old card.
I was very happy when I posted higher clocks than him with my water loop.
Wait, with a tuniq tower?
PICS! NAOOWW!!
how much lower in temps is the Core Contact compared to Tuniq? I forget. I want one but idk how much of a difference and if it is well worth it. My CPU temp at idle is around 38-40 C, close to 50 C or something during loading.
it wont be to big a diff, may a few degrees, few more if ur using as5 or something cuz it comes with tx-2, nothing i would spend a extra $30 on.
TX-2 is the best thermal paste.
ouch, that seems high to me.
are you saying as5 is better than tx-2, i have both, witch should i use when i intall my sunbeam.
I don't know man, that sounds like a lot of money to spend for only a 10 degree improvement. I could open the window and get 20 also. I did the other day.
