I'm in no way looking for a passive setup, how does the Mugen2 perform against the TRUE for 775 dual core?

I've had both and really don't like the Mugen 2. On an AM2+ 940BE setup, it performed worse than a TRUE Rev C. If it's not Rev C you may need to lap it, but I still like TRUE. Also, Mugen 2 is an incredible pain in the ass to install.
If your using the Venomous X on a socket 775 Mother board and experience wonkiness lol read this: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...14#post4206714
I think Thermalright should just include washers in the first place but what are you going to doAs an aside it did make the mount tighter. I also noticed that the E8600 and the i7 920 both have their own sweet spots as far as the central torque screw. As you tighten it it will hit a spot where it has the best amount of pressure and it will no longer "wiggle" side to side slightly. If you go too far (on the E8600 at least) it will actually loosen up the mount a little and the "wiggle" will come back.

Actually even with the no central screw mine does wiggle a TINY bit. I've solved this by putting 3 layers of duct tape on the sides of the base where the clamp goes down.If your using the Venomous X on a socket 775 Mother board and experience wonkiness lol read this: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...14#post4206714

After that I can apply just a tiny bit of pressure and still have no wiggle, after that it's wiggle city. The problem is, I think max pressure is the best performance for an i7. In my brief testing I think I saw this and poparamiro on a Romanian site said this as well (if google translate is to be trusted that is).

Yup. On the 920 I had the screw maxed all the way down.
^ Link doesn't work... http://www.techreaction.net/2010/01/...n-of-the-king/
This is their overclocked result
Thanks for fixing that..im following u around after u followed me around from ocnet to here and then back there...
Ahahhah, I somehow saw your post on OCN, then saw it here, noticed it was off here, forgot that I saw it on OCN first, thought it wasn't on OCN yet, posted it up to OCN, then realized later I had just reposted...Thanks for fixing that..im following u around after u followed me around from ocnet to here and then back there...
myself, lawls.
Thats one long sentence...
In short it could probably be the best solution for air cooling as of now...but will scale better with higher temps.
I still have some tweaking to do with the bios since it's the first time with the Rampage extreme but The VEX is holding my E8600 w 1.44v at 4.5 GHZ quite nicely. Iknow I know pics or it didn't happen lol. When I can get it stable for more than 40 mins occt I'll throw up some screens.
do you guys know whether TRUE fan bracket is also usable for VEX?
or is there any plan from thermalright to release new bracket for VEX?
thanks before
I dont think that shroud will work....
its not listed as compatible on the site as well.
Alright guys, ground work is completely done. I'll be testing Air Coolers (including the Venomous-X) starting the first week of Feb.
Sorry to keep OT'ing this thread.

Not at the top of the charts in this review. Somethings not right, Either the other sites are altering the results or bit-tech is making it look worse then it is.
The way they test coolers is a sad joke. Both Noctua and Vex beaten by Fenrir. Yea and I swear a saw a flock of flying pigs by my window.
There is something terribly wrong with that review....
I smell cherry picked fans. They apparently used the sharkoon silent eagle 1000. At 36CFM I could see that being the whole problem with the results, I mean seriously comparing heatsinks one should use the same fan. Based on the results I'd say the Venomous-X probably is the top end, minus botched reviews.
Grudge match between the Venomous X, TRUE and Coolermaster V10 on i7. Check it out...

Hello pplz
I see many reviews of the New King are quite misleading or not done right so here is one quick test taken on my rig with the ambient temp around 24°C and with the stock grease (CF-2).
BTW the fan is one Scythe Slipstream 1900 RPM.
Cheers

It sure does work great for you.Maybe you could treat us with a max oc/voltage combination cause 60 at 1.3v is pretty comfortable.
This is a as far as I'm willing to go with Prime
Unfortunately, I'm limited by the known issues for the 1156 socket that are reported even on sub 1.5V Vcore range.
BTW this is the max clock on the this i5 sample:
Such a pitty for the BCLK wall :/
Just wait till skinnee is done, we all know who makes the best results for WC stuff so let's see what they bring for ACAlright guys, ground work is completely done. I'll be testing Air Coolers (including the Venomous-X) starting the first week of Feb.
