yeah it does but the damn motherboard gets so hot, was thinking of upgrading it to an si-120 and putting 2x120mm fans ontop of each other which help a hell of a lot apparently

Skeme seems to have it going well with the Thermalright SI-120 (lapped) + Panaflo L1A worth a thought. Lapping must make a fair bit of difference do you think?

The Heat sink must not have been completely smooth the lapping process envolves sanding the hinksink with 3-4 different grades of sandpaper to a much more mirror like finish.

Mr spoon temps look scary. I suppose he was looking for a quiet system/fanless system.

A lot of people probably bought the scythe ninja on custom PC's recommendations. Although I would like to see them retest during these hot months and see whether they would still recommend it.

Roll on winter :)

I changed to the Scythe Ninja Plus on forum members recommedation not to mention a few test reviews that the cooler did very well in, my previous cooler a Freezer 64 was having real trouble keeping my temps below 62°C-65°C loaded in the past week, now I am on 50°C - 55°C.

The Gigabyte Neon Cooler 775 a standard cooler is it not? there is no heat pipe tech in it, upgrading the cooler might be and option if my presumptions are correct. If I am wrong someone will put me right :)

Aren't these conroe chips supposed to run really cool with a very low tdp?

Yes, I was reading in the Heatwave thread that Intel specifies if your @roecpu is running hotter than 35°c your not running a standard setup.

Will see if I can find the post :)
