hello everybody, i have a question here, im owner of a gigabyte ep45-ud3p..about the ultra durable silent pipe heat sink i was though of replacing it with an after market north bridge heat sink cooler which had a tiny little fan attached on it cooling it..i dont know is it a good choice? or shall i stick back to the manufacturer silent pipe heat sink? anyone could PLEASE "opinion"...

hmm..but i find it no room to place a 80mm or 120mm fan antonio..and 1 more thing that i had done,im not sure it void the warranty or not but i had took out the heat sink and replace the thermal paste in it with after market thermal paste instead the manufacturer 1..coz i found it very dry n harden like a rock..and my system temperature at ET6 reading about 43c at idle is it normal? compare to 1st day i bought my board heat seems like increased quite alot..maybe the overclock effect perhaps im not sure...

i wonder how u mount in mfcm?

what u mean 1.9g seanlimys?

ah alright..anyway i just cant hit 3.8ghz dont know why,it's not mainly on the heat problem but just easily get failed on prime small fft test at 3.8ghz..3.6ghz seems very easy with this proccessor..

what huh? 4.25ghz can easily but 4ghz not..thats kinda weird lol..how u do that
