I haven't done testing with the 3rd stick of RAM yet because my second fan gets in the way of the heatsink on the PI Black stick.
I have the motherboard mounted to a removable motherboard tray laying flat on a table. My TRUE 120 extreme is not lapped and has a very uneven surface. I used a big blob of the paste that came with the TRUE 120 extreme in the middle of the IHS and screwed her down evenly.
Is this chip worthy of liquid cooling?
It seems to me that I'm ready to go for gaming at the moment with no cooling upgrades.
I'm sure the cooling will still be adequate for HT disabled even in a hot room with one less fan based on the LinX temps I am getting.
