QUOTE(Volt @ Jun 23 2009, 07:31 AM) @piumiu Hmm I'm using a HAF932, the back is to release the heat off so I was thinking to place it that way. Can try at the top but don't know whether top suck in air or blow out, must go check. 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 QUOTE(ooiwbng @ Jun 23 2009, 11:20 AM) @Gray Fox. Ermm I though my fan is kinda facing >>> sucking air this side <<<, it's a 932 not Dell XDwow 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 QUOTE(lingloong @ Jun 23 2009, 03:57 PM) 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. Hmm can change I also want to change, don't really feel the effectiveness yet since I didn't turn on for a long time.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 |
