Hi people of OCU...
I need some help here...
i juz bought an MC-TDX for my i7...
i m using i7-920...running at 3.2 ONLY...

i need some help...as i m sure the MC-TDX can do better than that...
is there any anomalies that i shud check?
btw i m using MC-TDX, Laing D4, 2 x 120 rad, artic silver 5
my idle temp is anrd 44
and load is 70+...
please advice....

Hmmm..........Is there any obvious trapped air bubble?That will affect temperature as well.

I think it's more to a bad mount situation and an unclean surface of the block
