Hello,

Need to ask some questions regarding the TRUE heatsink.

I currently have an I7 920 using the stock intel cooler.

Planning to get a TRUE heatsink, from what ive seen, the TRUE heatsink does not have a fan attached to it.

Can the TRUE heatsink run without a fan? Or must I attach a separate fan to it myself? What would be the temperature difference.

Thank you.

recommend to install a fan (usually 120mm size) unless you are using low power processor

Im not a hardcore OCer or anything. Maybe just slightly OC, are there any cheaper recommended heatsinks out there for an I7 920.

Im running TRUE here, just PUSH configuration. The temperature pretty acceptable with my 24/7 overclocked i7 920 machine smile.gif

Idle average 50c while stressing around 80c..

Does the rm300 really justifies the 10c decrease in temperature @@
