Well I just got done installing the Vantec Iceberq4 and my temperatures have gone up atleast 2C!! WTF?! I even applied AS5. I tried reseating the whole thing twice now and the first time my temps almost hit 60C. I don't get it, I thought this thing was supposed to improve temperatures. I also chipped two corners of my chipset when doin' it. I don't think it'll hurt anything, but if I'm unstable at the same settings I'll know why. This really pisses me off! It seems like I've wasted $23 CAD so far. The light looks cool and does go well with my Asus AX800XL. Hmm, maybe the Iceberq4 is taking the hot air exhausted from my graphics card and putting it straight to the chipset. BTW, I'm using MBM5 to monitor temperatures.
EDIT: I'm using 1.6V through chipset. Idle with Iceberq4 is now 50-52C. With the stock is was 48-50C w/o AS5. I'ma try the stock cooler with AS5 in a minute.
