Il be volt modding my GT this weekend when I can find a conductive pen somewhere..

 

[reckliss]

just installed my 9500cnps and my temps are the same as my stock hs.... if not worse hitting 47c while playing css

 

[Lord AnthraX]

did you apply thermal paste correctly?

and make sure its nice and tight?


My temps went down tremendously from stock heatsink...



Althought everest now reads 26 C Idle, Id be a fool to beilve that.....

Im guessing around 33 34 idle..

 

[reckliss]

screwed it in as much as it goes (put on as5 size of rice)
maybe i should take a pic and let you look at it

 

[Lord AnthraX]

well sounds like you did it right...

Rice and evreything..


hmm....


well what are the temps any way,I mean those stock coolers arent that bad....

 

[reckliss]

40-41c web browsing 46-47c css

 

[Lord AnthraX]

hmm...I know this may sound stupid but did you install it vertically so that little bit of the ends of the cpu are exposed?


Just a thought..

If I have a 7900GT KO superclocked would it be worth it to get an aftermarket cooler?

The KO is supposed to have a pretty good system stock

I have that same board, and it incorrectly reports the tempurature.

My way of checking if its hot or not. Try touching the hsf. Ifs its warm then you know its [tpb;y pretty hot, but when i touch mine, its never warm to the touch and actually feels cool.
