actually i think TR needs to find a better aka more convenient mounting mechanism for their heatsinks man.

i just got the IFX-14 myself...mounting it aint that bad...removal should be easy as well...... especially when compared to my old XP-120

the XP-120 aint just a PITA.... pain on the fingers too!

EDIT: forgot to mention.... using 1x Vizo UV LED fan on my IFX.....mounted it in the middle on the front radiator (sucks from the front radiator and blow to the rear radiator)

temps seem ok so far

mocha..how u know ur mobo short wan?

can turn on the PC or not?

take pix of the base pls.

the uneven base is something thermalright is doing these days. it was sort of a controversy. but they do have somewhat valid reason. something to do with the shape of the cpu IHS as well....read this somewhere....

yeah i know how uneven the base is..... i did this same exact test oso...with the same exact results...



can read more about it HERE

theres also a review of the lapping results by the same guys HERE

im still considering on whether or not i wanna spend the time to lap the base... the damn thing has managed to scratch my processor IHS...actually the base of my IFX oso scratched liao

Added on December 27, 2007, 4:49 pmi dont see why lapping the ifx would be "heart-pain".....

wats truly painful is the fact that u pay so much for the cooler and the base turns out the way it is
