Hi,
Well just finished setting up my WC kit, and mounted my Apogee GT block on my C2D setup, problem is when i first booted up i went into the BIOS and found the temps to be 70+(idle
), which is odd because the chip the E2140 is not only lapped but was running in the high 30's low 40's with the intel stock cooler.
Furthermore, I went into rivatuner and found my 8800GT to be running at 33 idle so I know the CPU temps must be down to some poor mounting.
Looking at some reviews i noticed that the screws are mounted from the other side of the motherboard and then some springs and nuts are used to tighten it from the other side (i.e where the cpu block is ).
I had the apogee mounted with some screws from the front and thats it, so can someone please shed some light as I looked around and cant seem to find these springs that are used to mount the apogee.
