TRUE Worth it?

lol regardless of what you think is flat with your naked eye, the IHS on all intel CPU's arent flat, they are designed with a concave center so that the retail heatsink makes specific contact with that area. Part of the reason the retail heatsinks are designed the way they are.

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

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.

load ~ 4ghz 1.35v

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.

just remember to mount it sideways
