3770k IHS Removals - CPU temp dropped from 79C to 71C

[tscompusa]

I just did direct die with mx-4. keep in mind this is directly after placing the mx-4 on the die and no time to cure..
when i let mx-4 cure about 24-48hrs the temps drop another 2-3c atleast from my experience.

Ambient temps are 31C

Using the Raystorm water block, its so easy to get good / safe tension on the cpu without using the IHS.

I am not sure if i can tighten it down more or not but i got a 7-8C drop from mx-4 + mx-4 vs now direct die + mx-4 (no heat spreader).

Voltage is currently set high at 1.335

Running prime95 with Large FFT

This is with 48 hrs of the mx-4 being placed (30c ambient temps)



This is with 5minutes of the mx-4 being placed (31c ambient temps)
