Since I started my thread about my Zalman 9700NT just not cutting it (grrrrrrrr) and the fact that my B3 stepping runs VERY hot, I've decided to go for the new Thermalright IFX-14 which is pretty new i presume. Along with the new cpu cooler, i will be selling my current cpu and get a G0 stepping Q6600 and see how that goes. in the near future, i plan on upgrading my P180B to the CoolerMaster Stacker 832 case.
If anyone has/is planning on getting the Thermalright IFX-14, please post your ideas/opioins

I have one running a B3 Q6600 at 2.8 (350x8). My load temps top out at around the mid 50's with 27 ambients. And I'm horrible at applying thermal paste.
Also, I don't know about the rest of the Thermalright line, but the mounting system is a little...shody.
And if you have a motherboard tray, prepare to get out the Dremel if you want the back plate heatsink to be on there.
I'm sure once I get the fans I want on it, reseat it and Dremel my case my temps will go down.

I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH AN INCREDIBLY HOT B3!!! my idle temps using my Zalman are 40C for cpu 0/1 and 36C for cpu 2/3.
but i guess yours will go down once you reseat it (?)

Um...that's not incredibly hot for a quad.

It's actually pretty freakin' good for the FSB (1400) and vCore (1.4) I'm running.
By the way, I think my idle is around mid to lower 40's, that's one thing I especially like about the IFX-14. The delta between idle and load is usually no more than 10-13C.

ahh k. and just out of curiosity, why do you have the multi set at 8x? or does it have something to do with a fsb wall on the eVGA mobo?

For whatever reason I can't get it Orthos stable or even stable enough to Fold 24/7 with the multi @ 9 and the same FSB.
I'm never home so the quick fix was to drop the multi. Once I move in to school I'll have time to screw around with the voltages and stuff.

yeah but yours is at 3.6ghz. mine's at stock speed and when i fully load it with small FFT's, it shoots straight up to 61C and 57C for cores 1 and 2 respectively
