The new Scythe Mugen 2 vs Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme-1366

[i7luver]

So i installed my mugen 2, i'm running at 20x165 at 1.168vcore (set at 1.2 in bios, in windows reads 1.168) anyways on prime my temps go up to 57 C on my highest core in real temp, is that too high? I don't know if i tightened it enough, I basically tightened as hard as possible with one hand, don't wanna risk warping/breaking my mobo, what do u guys think?

i dont know what kind of case you are using but the temps sounds good for me

I'm using a HAF932, my ambient's kinda low tho, I'm in LA so I'm guessing my ambient's in the low 20s high 10s, also is there risk of warping if i overtighten my hsf? I tightened it quite a bit more because my temps were in 60s and now its in 50s but I'm kinda paranoid, i'm using the dfi te3h8

I may have missed something but if the Mugen 2 and the Thermalright eXtreme were compared with their stock fans then the comparison was between apples and oranges because the fan that comes with the Mugen 2 runs at a lower speed. It's not a huge difference but it's enough to account for a degree or two.

I apologize if I'm reading impaired, but the only way to test two heatsinks head to head is with the same fans, otherwise you are testing more than one variable.

I have both heatsinks but have not tried the Thermalright yet. I'm happy with the Mugen 2. My sole complaint is the mounting system, which seems to have been designed by an engineer with 3 hands.

Perhaps this is the wrong thread to discuss this, but I just purchased the Scythe Mugen 2 last night along with my i7 rig, and I can't seem to find a way to install this Heatsink onto my EVGA X58 3x-SLI Motherboard. Every way you turn the heatsink, there's another object in the way (I.E. First Ram slot, or the 2 heatsinks that sit near the CPU socket). Anyone had success installing this heatsink on this board? Or am I SOL? If I'm SOL, anyone have any suggestions for a heatsink that will have the clearance on this motherboard?
