EK 5858 FC Block VRM Temps
Well got a 5850 FC EK block. Installed first with their directions, which included stand-offs and thermal pads. I wasn't impressed with my VRM temps which at 1.3v / 1050 core / 1250 mem were in the 80's C with Kombuster.
I removed the stand-offs and put thermal paste on the VRM's and now temps are in the mid 60's. I'm glad EK gave the option to install either way. :up:
Just throwing this out there for anyone doing an install with the EK blocks. If you feel comfortable ditch the stand off and thermal pads on the VRM's.
