Hey, just recently bought this cooler..
its looks great.. but performance doesnt seem tat impressive to me

ok.. i think my ambient temp abt 29 to 30C (typical malaysian temp)

my processor is intel core 2 quad q9550

im using a cooler master cm690 casing will 6 fans.. 2 intake, 4 exhaust..

my idle temp is 45, 40, 38, 38.. it seems abit high right?

on full load, its 62, 58, 58, 58

btw.. i applied tuniq tx2 heatpaste for this cooler..

also, the fan is running at max at all time.. i din enable the PWM..

isit normal??

i heard theres like alot of problems with the temp reading from a quad core. like need to calibrate the the sensor tis and tat..

can someone help?

lol.. i tot im the oni one oso.. all thread i c everybody have soo nice idle temps.. sumo same proc.. but i realise one thing, when my room air is 28C, the idle temp are way way better.. 40,36,32,37
tats soo much for 2C difference in room air..
haha

btw.. mine is all stock speed wor..

lol.. well.. the readings are okay la..
well.. tis happens to my pc.. the temps b4 overclock and after overclock is like same..
soo i think this cooler work more efficient on higher temperatures
