Reseated the conroe and used some liquid metal instead of AS5. Nice temps now, gonna go for 4Ghz

Liquid metal as a thermal compound :eek:

at 3.1ghz my temps are 61c under full load dual prime with a zalman 9500 on slowest setting

thats not bad considering your on air, although im sure my temp is much lower with the aquagate, what are you using for monitor the temps?

i'll give it a whirl when i get home.

These things seem to overclock as good as the prescotts, and almost run as hot as well. :eek:

Devious...
What heat sink are you using with Liquid Metal?
I have an Si-120 but cant find out for sure what the base is made of. Having lapped it i think its copper with nickel coating. Do you think i need to change it for Liquid metal? Do you think i will get any better cooling with a different heat sink (i.e. ninga etc)
