Indigo Xtreme - Asking for ANYONE Familiar with this product for help.
My Problem:
I Cant sustain the 90-95 degrees required on the CPU long enough so Reflow can Happen.
No More TIM Left, no More Indigo Xtreme and sent 2 Emails to company no Reply/solution Yet.
I would like to use this product as it seems its the best with my Waterblock, (and the fact i dont have money to throw away atm)
What Happened? / More Details about Problem
I have Followed the Instructions To the Letter, Took time to read, understand the process, watch Youtube Videos, do Reading in General, Get all required Software ready etc. Should note, before this process above I checked my bios settings so I could infact each the desired 90-95 temp
Roughtly What i did, Following the instructions
- Cleaned my CPU and Water Block thoroughly (with Artic Clean, dont this MANY times)
- Put Gloves on
- Remove bottom liner off the ETI
- Align on CPU as instructed
- Remove top liner off the ETI
- Mount water Block (I tighten each screw a little at a time, and use a digital rod to measure they are all the same height/tightness)
Reflow
- PC has a Horizontal mounted motherboard (instructions state board must be horizontal before proceeding)
- Unplug/turn off Pumps (as instructed)
- Turn on PC
- Start up Realtemp and Fanspeed
- Select the graph with Fan Speed and Core Temps
- Start up Prime 95, Select torture test Small FFTs
- Start Torture test
- After a few seconds PC Jumps up to 90+ Hits 100, Turns off. (As TJ Max is roughly around 100)
- Confused, start up again after a min or so, jump into bios, double check throttling is on, and other MB temperature features are off
- Start process again, same results.
Noticing that i have 10-15 degrees above Ambient room temp at IDLE and should have alot better results i decided to see if reflow had occurred.
My Mistake here, i did not take photos, but i had not noticed any sort of reflow, after viewing pictures of other peoples reflow, it was still the same shape except it was flattened.
As i had a Two Pack Used the second, same as above, but this time, tried with intelburntest initially with pumps off, same results, then with pumps on, temp wont reach heigh enough to make reflow happen.
Now im stumped as to how to get this thing to 90-95 for a few seconds in order for the reflow to happen!
