ZeroTherm heatsink on an LGA1156 i7-870. I love it!

I wasn't using those tin snips. Another family member was working on something else and happened to set them down there while I was working on the computer in the kitchen.

Thanks! The setup with the Heatsink and 2 Enermax fans cost about $90.

So how fast do you have the i7 870 running? What kind of temps? Post us some benchmark pictures to look at.

Stock @ 2.93Ghz (Way faster than my 2.66Ghz i5-750). I don't have a clue on how to overclock or make it be stable but I would like to see it be stable at 3.00Ghz.

Not sure on the temps. I'll get some pictures uploaded when I get home from work tonight!

And holy crap on the video card.
