They were done by folding 100% on 3 cores. That is what this computer does 24/7. I've already confirmed stability so there is no reason for me to run Prime.
pre-lap 54, 60, 60 ,60 while folding on 3 cores
post lap 57,67, 66, 67 while folding on 3 cores
The Prime screenshot was directed at another question, an off topic question.

I have never seen the "Curing" of AS5 make any difference, ever.

Actually mine did quite a bit of difference... and the ambients were pretty much the same (0.5 grace limit)

Anyway, scratch my head I did.
The problem has been resolved and my temps are 5°c better.
I replaced the stock washer with a thicker washer, allowed for more pressure on the cooler base.

ah yea that would do it, i dont have that problem because i use a horizontal rig

, i cant believe you guys are crazy enough to put such a long heavy heatsink verticle, that would make me nervous

The size I'm not sure about, it has a wider diameter and and maybe 1mm thicker.
I'll look on the package tonight while I'm at work and check the dimensions.

EDIT> And it was a bugger to get it screwed down with the extra washers installed.

Lol i bet, it is fairly hard to do it already, but those temps are worth it. Good idea, i'll try this next time around.
