Mine, e6600 @ 3Ghz
before @ stock Intel c2d HSF
Idle: 45+/-
Load: 70
After @ Xigmatek red Scorpion
Idle: 35+/-
Load: 55+/-
The HDD temps are lower too, thanks to the airflow going from the front of the case to the back (case fan-->hdd-->xigmatek-->rear fan)
Gonna try a higher overclock, and maybe re-sit/re apply paste (artic silver 5) across the pipes now instead of the current parallel direction. Mayyyybeeeee laa..if got time...
imo the cap itik compound given is good enough... not to say its very good but its sufficient to get very good result... im using the compuond given and temp drop around 10-15c compare to stock hsf (close casing)....drop up to 20c when open casing and on load....

Hi over there, again to inform forumers, try install it carefully and screw it even or else performance will drop... hahaha...
but according to culain99, the temp also drop when he didnt install it properly

anyways its true the screwing of the scorpion is indeed very important.... if it is not properly u wont see a good result...
