Which CPU cooler are using??? Intel stock are crap these days.
Like vyral suggested try changing TIM, if it remains the same then go for after market cooler.
I recommend Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo. If it is in ur budget
Get Hyper 212X newer 212...its VFM ...got it under 2.5k...
Keeps i5 2500k pretty cool @4.2ghz..
Currently am also on stock normal settings turbo boost to 3.4ghz...
Easily 10C cooler on idle and over 20-25C cooler under load as compared to stock cooler...
Just first tell which card and model is that...Is it Xfx one with some type of open fan heatsink ?
Bcz I know one model of Xfx 5770 ZNLC had this kind of cooler which used to heat a lot...
Was ur GPU temp alright before installing CPU cooler ??? I.e on stock CPU cooler what was temp of GPU under load ?
nope, the clips are contacting the pcb, will short circuit the card.
i saw that people were insulating the clips and using it, but my gap is too damn narrow.
Got it online, returning it will be a headache.. will try it for few weeks lets see how much i can do without the gpu. Then i might just sell it over here.[DOUBLEPOST=1390624998][/DOUBLEPOST]just curious, if i insulate the entire adjacent side of the cooler ( tape to the fins ) what would that do ? and place teh middle fan on the rear cab fan spot.
