I had pressure modded the CM V8 and cut back on the AS 5, feeling that I had to much the previous time. Wasn't impressed with the new temps, so threw a stock TRUE on, temps dropped 5c (probably the paste), with the same fan. Curious at that point, I lapped the HS, and the cpu at work last night, pressure modded the TRUE, and dropped another 10c so far. I'm not sure if the temps will drop more as this is on fresh AS 5. Inlet air temp is 25c, the fan is a Scythe 110 cfm cheapie, just going to pick up another bracket to run 2 and see what I get. After work tonight, I'll open the patio door to drop another 10-15c, to see what water would offer me.
After having pelts, WC, and phase in the past I kinda wanted to keep this simple with air, but this chip is making it tempting ! $300 (cdn) for a triple rad, GTZ combo, or $600 (cdn) for a Boreas. I'm not sure I want to prep and deal with condesation again though![]()
