Nice temps! I was using ceramique with the 120 extreme. Either the heatsink or the chip wasn't flat. My temps were initially higher with compound smeared over the whole IHS.paradigm said:Mine runs damn cold tbh, ambient is currently 26ºc, and idle (7-12% load) is at 29ºc
I removed and reseated the sink with a thin line of compound down the center of the IHS and that improved temps by nearly 10 degrees.
The extreme tends to sit quite loose on the chip too which doesn't inspire confidence. However i find it works well with my e6600.
