Talking Tuniq Tower Washer And Lap Mod...

This is a really simple Mod that drops the temps Greatly.

Before this without a fan I loaded around 64-65c OUCH.... and 35-37c idle Almost bought me a TRUE....

But the tuniq prevails....

Simple mod. Add 2-3 washes on each Bolt depending on size of washer.

I used 2 since 3 seemed a little hard core.
I had Really no motherboard Bending SUPER

Now With these results im using Only thing i have left is TUNIQ TX-1
I will be replacing it AS5 tomorrow. or sometime later.

Also LAP Your tuniq And Cpu it helps But not alot.
I didn't think it was worth it Since time vs Performance.


Anyways, Give this a go It seemed to work for me,

I'm idling at 30-31c now, and Loading at 58c This is again without the Fan installed


I think This little mod works great since the weak Springs Allow the tuniq To Not press firmly on the cpu 100% of its Capability

Here are some pictures of The project.

hold it on the very bottom, It hurts like hell with the fins but pushed hard down on the bottom and sand it like that.
