HR-01 better mounting

SparkyJJO · 11-15-2009, 02:24 PM

I've got a Q6600 with an HR-01 on it. Temps have a 10C spread now between core 0 and core 3, with 1 and 2 falling in between. How can I improve the mounting of this heatsink?

Pics show before with the stock paste, and after with ceramique and using a set of washers on the spring-loaded screws to increase pressure. Helped, but still have a temp spread.

(yes its stock but will OC it once I get the temps more even).

OK looks like my best bet is to get the improved 1 piece mounting bracket instead of the current 3 piece thing that lets it droop.

Actually, best way would be to lap that CPU probably.. I have same issue with i7 (its simply not perfectly flat)..
