O well I decided I could not live with those pwm temps even if I was orthos stable at 503x7 on my 6700. 120c and it sometimes got to 127c which is beyond the 120 limit so I took it all apart and removed the amanda and will start over.

I noticed that those adhesive pads stink. The BGA sinks had moved some and the middle 2 pwms were peeking out just a little. No wonder the high temps! First I removed the thermal pads on the BGA sinks. I then used a good deal of Artic Alumina Adhesive to secure them with good contact on those little pain in the ass PWMs. Then I secured a 60mm vantec stealth fan on top blowing on the sinks. Thats as far as I got tonight. Probably won't have it all back and running till Saterday or Sunday. One new thing I will try is the Amanda Titan Nano Grease for the CPU. I just noticed in the aircooling thread that it got rated higher then AS5. I am curious to see how it performs.
