got myself a new cooler

[petriodet]

i got a bit fed up of watercooling because i couldn't remove my graphics card so i have decided to go back to air cooling for now. next time i watercool it'll be just the cpu.
the cooler in Question

temps are pretty good i7 920@stock idle 30, full load 51-52

just oced it to 4ghz whacked the volts straight to 1.25, temps gone up to 70 which isn't to bad,considering it's not the largest cooler on the market (i could reduce volts but haven't the time at the moment.) just love the ease i think these i7's will go down in history as some of the best cpu's ever

Hi, why did you not just buy a couple of quick release fittings and fit them to your inlet / outlet for your GPU, would have saved you going back to air + it would have worked out far cheaper.

I use core only blocks on my graphics cards. If i change cards all i need to do is unbolt the block, stick the new card in and bolt the block back on. No draining the loop down or anything. Had the same block for over 5 years now and it's been on many graphics cards, both ATI and Nvidia.

Looks a lot like the Akasa Venom (barring the colour scheme) - even to the point of the concave face to the stack of fins and the pointy rear.

The Venom isn't dimpled though

i'm buying a sandybridge setup when they sort out the problems, i'm keeping this setup so i would have bought an air cooler anyway. and to be honest i really didn't think about quick release fittings.

and schizo are you using the paste supplied if so how is it? i ask because i used mx3.
