Ive recently fitted a Thermalright ultra 120 and my idle temp on a E6300 stock is 33-35oC is this right? Seems a little high. Any advice/tips will be great. Its in a Lian-Li V1000, ive used AS5 aswell.

Edit: it's 43-45oC with 100% load set in TAT

Thanks in advance, Ben
 
:eek: Sounds a bit high, is that fan loud? Might have to see about getting a decent fan for mine:) When you get your Amanda youll have to post a thread before and after temps and some piccies ;)
 
Nice setup! Didn't know you could have aftermarket coolers on a GX2, those look ace :)

Just noticed your case is the same as mine inside :cool:

Fitted a VF-900 on my 1800xt today aswell as the ulta 120 on the cpu, with the side fan blower attached temps are 41 idle and high 50s load :) plus its quiet too, look forward to hearing about your amanda when it arrives, keep me updated :)
 
Not got any pics at the mo, ill try and get a pic sorted tho need to find camera :(

Do you know whats good for removing fingerprints, ive got tons on my v1000
 
Got some piccies, couldn't be botherhed to take the side fan out tho :(

Sorry its zoomed in i'd put my PC back under the desk then thought id take another so i had to crawl under, bit cramped :o

Any tips on cable management, mines so messy and yours is so neat!
 
Mmm, Thats strange i was under the impression that the Amanda was the daddy of air coolers. Just out of curiosity what temps are you getting idle/load and at what volts?

Is your IHS totaly flat or is it one of those concave ones, im thinking of lapping my Ultra 120 as the base finish isnt the best no where near as smooth as my VF-900 :( Might do a re-build when i recieve those fans etc. I might as well lap the heatsink at the same time ;)

Do you know any good lapping guides gt_?
 
Ok let me know how you get on, lol im too scared to lap my CPU, might have a go at the heatsink tho ;) Whats your method for applying AS5? (Assuming thats the stuff you use)
 
It might just be that the compound isnt as good as the ceramique but im using the thin line up the center of the core method and my temps are higher than I expected, but that could be to do with poor case airflow. With my case side off my CPU temps are about 6-7oC cooler. When i rebuild early next week i might try spreading the AS5 over the core as you mentioned:) Also did the 100% load in TAT crash your PC?

Ive also noticed your running Orthos on Priority 1 IIRC that wont stress your rig as much as 9 or 10, just a thought :)
 
Will Do! If you dont mind me asking how much did you get the 680i for? Also what volts are you running for those temps? I found a thread on OCUK earlier and someone had a 6300 or 6600 and they were getting high 50's idle(Scythe Ninja), tried everything(lapping the IHS etc.) , he dropped it into a 650i board and it went down to 35 idle on the stock cooler :eek: Maybe its a DS3 problem :confused: You'll be able to find out when you get your new board anyway :)
 
Ive re-built my rig since those fans arived and made it a bit neater :)

It's a lot quieter too and the CPU temp has dropped 3oC, the GPU temp is still the same without the side fan :D I also changed my Ultra 120 round so it blows air straight towards the exhaust ;) Tis' a tight fit :eek:
