awsome cooling SteveRo, now im finding technut36 TRUE too good to be true after seen your Boreas

TRUE idle temp 38-42 load temp 55-60 with higher clock - voltage
Boreas idle temp 21-26 load temp 53-56
almost the same cooling power?

so google a bit to know a little more about TRUE+i7 didnt find anything near this, definitely the most extreme TRUE ive see.

6-Way Intel Core i7 CPU Cooler Roundup
Noctua vs TRUE 1366 Review

so whats the magic?

impressive! your idle to load temp are as good as SteveRo GTZ Feser 480 with 4x ultra kaze if not better.

nice work!! yeah, at load the liquid in the heat pipes evaporates more vigorously thus increasing the evap and condensation effect and cooling a lot more efficiently. The TRUE is one kick ass air cooler.. I kind of wish I had held out to pick one up but they were so out of stock when I built my machine, so I got the CM V8 instead.. which has turned out to be a very good cooler also, but you can't do the push-pull fan trick with it.. well, unless you want to use a lot of zip ties.

i understand he have HT off, but just take a look at your screen shot you running at lower qpi, clock, much lower vcore and lower idle temp HT off yet you hit 70º at full load "not saying thats bad at all" but thats 10~15ºc higher than technut, not even couting idle difference.

you find hes temp normal?

4.2Ghz
vcore 1.40
qpi/vtt 1.38
HT off
All energy saver functions off
idle temp 38-42 load temp 55-60

what kind of fan you using technut? what kind of application you running to get load temp?

technut was running ht off - and using one of the best air coolers you can find anywhere.

So there has been a lot of talk bout the temps, i need to make one thing clear i did a lot of trial and error with different thermal pastes (AS5, Tuniq, TR, OCZ freeze, zalman) it was very time consuming but after about 14 hours or so i finally figured out for my self on how different these pastes are, only as regards to the temps, also i tried different ways of putting on the paste. also tried different fans on TRUE, even tried it fanless for 15 mins to see what happens. Also tried making an air duct to pull in fresh air.

In the 14 hours I tested a lot of things for fun, i didn't take extensive logs of everything, since i was interested in only what worked best. It is way too much to post all the details, i have to get back to studying, so i am going to post my final choices.


TRUE (TR 1400 rpm fan pushing, Xigma Tech XLF-F1253 pulling)

OCZ Freeze (best way to put on put a tiny droplet, half the size of a grain of sticky sushi rice or a quarter grain size of a indian pakistani long grain basmati rice)


Procedure:

put the paste

align the TRUE perfectly and dont u dare move it even a tad bit.

put two screws cross from each other, tighten all the way so u dont risk moving the HS while getting the other two in. once the first two are tight move on to the next two, tighten all the way.

now try to spin the HS just a little clockwise the anti-clock ending up in the same position. toss on the fans.

i added two additional fans a 230mm on the door, it fit perfectly, same fan as the HF932. Another fan was added along with a 5.25-3.5 cage in the front, so it make a nice air tunnel straight across front to back.

sorry if i was unclear, i am stressing about my studies, i need to get back, i will check u guys in a bit.



For temp i am using real temp, didn't bother installing ET6

Its day time now and my idle temp has risen to 40-42, guess not fully idle because i am in window.

In bios i am getting 24-26 for cpu.
