EDIT: In case anyone is wondering. Setup is: Swiftech Storm, MCP655/D5 pump, BIX 120 with Sanyo Denki fan, 7/16" Master Kleer tubing and some cheap bay res i've had forever. Temps full load at 1.51Vcore 3.6ghz is 65c in Core temp :) (was 83c with infinity)

I do not usually post here since i am more of a reader than a poster....but 65c with a swiftech storm is way off you should be getting 44-48C under load at that vcore. I am not saying that its bad to have those temps but I would take out the waterblock check the imprint on the cpu and remount with as5 :) sometimes with watercooling it takes around 2-3 mounts to find the best fit on the cpu.

Thanks for the info. I havn't seen 65c since i first installed it. It usually dual loads around 47-48c currently at least. Also dependant on room temp.

Do you have a link to show me the Inf is compatible to the DFI Ultra-D?

E6700 @ 3.66GHz 1.6V was ORTHOSing at 54/55C according to core temp, about 10C better than what my BT did (with the same 120x120x25mm 105CFM fan). Idle was low 30s.

At 4GHz 1.675V, 1M loaded the one core at 54C and the other sat at 44C....dual idle was 40/41C. Not sure how this did compared to my BT, as my old P5W DH couldn't get the CPU up to 4GHz air.

3.85GHz 1.65 dual 16M load was 62/63C...vs ~76C of the BT (and the BT could only do it at ~3.8GHz).

These were all done with the same med/high-pressure 105CFM fan.

That is pretty goot temps their. I just ordered the Infinity as well to replace my typhoon.

I Just got my infinity the other day.

Does anyone know of a northbridge cooler that will fit under the infinity? I have a DS3 btw. I was looking at this one, but I'm not sure how the dimensions compare to stock. I know that one is short enough, just not if it is the right diameter. http://www.xoxide.com/iceberq.html
