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)

According to the instructions they say dont use aluminium heatsinks, they say copper is fine, AFAIK nickel will be fine too as they dont mention it.

Im using a swiftech apogee block which is copper.


What would you say the cpu retention clip is made from ?

 

[Sem]

is it realistic to expect 3.6Ghz on air (Zalman 9500) out of a E6600 or am i better off getting a E6700

 

[Beenom]

3.6Ghz is achievable on air, as seen on XS. However most people there are using the Tuniq Tower which gave ridiculously low temps (36 degrees @ load) When the E6600 was overclocked to 4Ghz . I don't know how the Zalman compares with the Tower though... Please get the Tuniq Towers OcUK!

The Tuniq Tower is a bit of a monster! Is 700g+ okay hanging off the board in a tower case?

Retention clip must be steel as its very strong. I thing the cpu block is copper, so should be ok... will have to test it first before it goes near a cpu

Tuniq Tower's copper base isn't polished tho read a couple reviews saying u can feel the grooves if u run Urr finger over it...

Get a Scythe Ninja much better =)

Been reviewed over and over and the Tuniq Tower always comes out on top of the Ninja, but yes, in OcUK, Ninja is the best*

*or the Mine (like a Scythe version of the tuniq, ish...)

Just needs a bit of sanding down then, not too much bother

This one, courtesy of FCG from XS.

Not a volt mod, it unlocks all the overcloking options in the bios.

That tuniq... simple lovely

Love the way it towers anything out there and the fans inside/ yeah that scyhe mine is similar but the tuniq just looks and performs better, got a ninja myself and its lovely kit too.
