p/s:Thor's hammer with 2 cooler master "90cfm" 120mm fan

@piumiu
While running at 3.7ghz, my processor (intel Q9550) is idle at 43c and load at 70c. quite ok for a casing without a good airflow haha

@nncl
Bro, i think theres something wrong cos last time my e8400 (at 4ghz) only reach 35c at idle and 63c during load while using cm hyper 212. Better check ur cooler back, u might not setted the cooler properly

@Gray Fox [X]
Usually i just attach the cooler and the fan first onto the motherboard. after that i just screw the mobo with the cooler attach on it inside the casing. to much work if i attach the cooler /fan later 
Anyway, theres nothing wrong with the way u place ur cooler. the reason i place mine like that because my top fan can draw out the hot air better then my 8cm exhaust fan + i can cool down my graphic to

@Gray Fox.
wow a BTX casing..i presume a Dell casing? btw u shld turn the fans to << and >> bcoz if ur fan is pushing air towards your GC, it'll be hotter. btw the bottom casing issit a 922 or a 932 coz it looks like a 932 to me

Hi Bro. I got ask my supplier regarding this problem, he said the earliest manufactured THOR got problem at the base heatsink, we call this version as VER1. So basically all THOR in Msia market now is VER1 with plenty of defective design especially the heatsink surface not "flat". They will exchange their remaining stock with VER2 (Revised version) for this THOR, now waiting the next XIGMATEK shipment from oversea. I also got ask him weather can get free exchange for the THOR for my previous customer and he also have to depend on XIGMATEK weather they accept this condition or not.

And update I will let you guys know. But for your solution, I propose you try to lapped the surface after watching the youtube video provided 

Yes. I do feel the heat when stressing the pc.
I dont even have to open the casing as my fan is pushing the heat to the top haf 932 fan.
Just put my hand on the top casing and I can feel it.

I was using killerwhale with my old e8400 and the idle is 30c and load not more then 50c.
I am also using 2 90cfm fan and idle is only for 38c and load 55c with prime running. non aircond.
only using the thermal paste supplied.

Best is to see the base is flat and try resetting it. Did you apply too much thermal paste?
Also note that sockeet 775 base only cover 2 1/2 pipes for this cooler.

thx for answering me!    since the temperature so big different with you i think probably bought a non "flat"  surface version thor's hammer 
and thor's hammer come with thermal paste?

Yeap with 1 thermal paste, at first I though it was glue, noobie me LOL XD

can you take a pic and show me? cause i bought that one didnt included  then i buy a TX-2 to applied
