nono i get SM2.0 5.4k and SM3.0 5.9k is with my C2D E6750 2.66ghz.... not Q6600.... below is my OC pic.... C2Q is just change recently

hey guys..

I wonder any of you guys reapplied the 8800GT's thermal paste before BUT using back the stock heatsink (not 3rd party cooler).

Any of you guys did it before? I might want to reapply those thermal compound hoping to get "better" temperature.

here is my temp..i just alt tab from dota..if not sure around 54 C..how bout urs?i dont see many ppl using zotac..but it produce tis sound somtimes when i run 3dmark..u got any useful link for this zotac gc?the thg i like this zotac is the cooling...temp very low

so anyone can help me on thiS?

i want to try to change the thermal compound. but i duno whether it is worth it or not ler.

u see ah. my idle temp is 55C (67% fan speed) while load 70-75C or even higher (100%). I'm using Asus SmartDoctor to control the temperature at the moment and Rivatuner to monitor the temp.

I want to change to 3rd party cooler, but thinking of the voiding warranty thingy makes it not an option for me.

I google about it and what i found was this : http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1240142 (the stock compound looks sucky) lol

Well this is my experience to share with you guys la. Hope so u guys wont be harsh on me - no offense. This is my first time using a so-called high end GC (i know its not the highest of "the high end" YET) since i needed to revamped a new comp. well, I had no prob using the comp until i tried playing hard-core 3d games like Crysis. It hanged so often after playing like 10 or 20 minutes of it. So, i figured out there must be something wrong somewhere. I went to log  my temp using the nvidia software bundle. And guess what, i was surprised that my gc could actually boil an egg for me - 90C. and imagine getting a new comp with a so-called TOP edition GC and still hang. Then i switched to rivatuner to increase my fan speed and had the comp for better air flows with cable management. But I still conclude that the stock cooler seriously s*ck like mad wei.  I couldn't believe at first that nvidia could build such a stupid dumb fan for its GC.

I've seriously thought about getting a 3rd party cooler. But the warranty thingy seriously bangs my mind out of it.

Lol. For the CPU temp - idle will be like 44C , Load - not sure. But i know that the stock 6000+ HSF is different than the normal ones with heat copper heat pipe(i dont know which is which).

FYI for no misunderstanding or anything,  the 90C load of my 88gt is before my first ever cable management on that casing. now my load temp only 75C at max. A HUMONGOUS change in temp. However, still not satisfy with the current temp maar.

AND, my casing now like ORCHESTRA ler. because i fit it SO many fans (excluding CPU and GC) already got like 6 fans. 3x120mm , 1x80mm, vivo card cooler (two fans). LOL. Well, I'm still noob maar, didnt know that fitting so many fans also temp no change.  Because this is my first experience.   .
