Worked perfectly here at first try.

Thanks Apot but i have solved. Installed three new case fan (at 4 fans now) 2 outtake on the back and one outtake front + 1 panel. Cleaned cables out of the way and refined my lapping testing with different amounts of thermal gel and got my optimum performance now even with Aero4. Closed case i am d...

Ok added back some thermal compound and a bit more lapping + polishing with 2000 paper. Surface was clean as clean can be. Now the delta in the quick test i have done never exceed 18C with a peak of 64C with case closed. Surely not overclockable with this HS, but much less noisy than with boxed HS f...

No significant changes with even less thermal compound (1 or 2C warmer, maybe is not enough now)

I start thinking that aybe is my case not well ventilated considering the mobo temperature. Still 20+C of delta between mobo and Cpu make me think the Aero4 is not really efficient ...

Lapping finished well now and all makes more sense. Stress Test Case open: 55C load peak (Sisoft Sandra Burn-in) and MB temp of 38C (16C delta). Case Closed: 65C load peak with 43C mobo temp (22C Delta - still bad). Idle Test: Case Open: 47C and mobo at 38C (8C delta) Case Closed: 57C and mobo at 43...

That scares me even more Pj considering my ASUS is reading high-60C low-70C temperatures, if they are on the low side prolly real temp is above 80 ... Case open and room below 24C i manage to get a load temp of 57C with intel HS ... lapping on areo4 is almost finished only the 1600 paper left to be ...

Apop, firstly i want say that i am a newbie when it comes to heatsinks and stuff as i never had the need to do anythign with the slightly oc system i had in the past. But to give you more infos all started when i got my prescott couple of weeks ago, mounted with boxed heatsink from Intel. Run load s...

Strangely enough i seems to get a better perfomanc eon my not-oc 3.0 prescott with the Intel standard fan than with the Coolermaster aero4 fan on ... it's like the boxed intel fan has much higer rpn than the coolermaster and that has an effect !
