Any nice recommendation on CPU cooler for 45nm processor and a close panel casing (as in side panel all closed up) ? Been targeting CCF for awhile but still have not make up my mind.

I am no where that temperature . @1.3vcore, my temperature running IBT already touching 80c. @1.4vcore, temperature already break the 80c limit..

Maybe I will remove the heatsink and re apply everything from scratch. Maybe will need to get a thermal paste cleaner as previously I just use tissue paper to wipe it off. The method I used to apply the thermal paste is just drawling a two lines on 2 heat pipes, after pressing it against the processor, I took it back out and checked the base of it, it seems everything dimension was covered equally. Well, maybe my chip produce greater heat (but thats alot of heat different !!!)

will have nightmare taking the ccf out and put it back again lolz... damn scary procedure...

If your ccf fits in ur mobo fine then its quite okay...but mine doesnt fit in properly lolz. Can have the luxury of seeing temp below 60c on load ...

gonna post one round before I sell all my stuff

heh dont know yet. Hey tkh bro, does CCF come out new bracket to cope with i7 socket ?

Wah bro, your font size sudah besar.. somemore mahu blue color.. susah mahu read oh..

Anyway, you can put your casing model here, or google your casing Dimension , then compare with the CCF size, you will have a rough idea whether it will fit or not.
