Now i know TR bases on all their heatsinks generally have poor maching but im just saying you can make a direct judgement of contact by thermal paste alone. I learned that the hard way.

dude, stop deflecting the point... its junk out of the box :down:

my test results? it was no better then my XP120, which is about 3*C behind my Enzotech EX120.

Where those tests results during idle or load? or both? 3°C differences across the entire spectrum from idle up to load; curious, that’s all.


Either way; it’s clearly visible on the picture that the base is far from flat so you’ll have to lap it.

Interesting that, think I have to dig up my own XP-120 and do some testing.

Thanks mate.

Finally a mounting system worthy of the name; lets hope that they also start to make the base flat. Not that lapping is hard (don't get me wrong ;))but it do take some time going thru friggin 500 (if the base is really bad) – 600 – 800 – 1000- 1500 and 2000 grit sand papers, really.:D
