Are you Serious only 2C difference...I hope thats not right. My Tru COPPEr just came in from Frozen CPU....It weighs a Ton. My buddy has a Original True that posts awesome temps with his i7 920 at 4.2GHz. He idles at 30+ and Loads at 60+, with 3dmark 06 and Vantage. Games run much cooler i.e. GTA, Crysis-Warhead, COD.

This thing is SUPER dense... I am going to run two Noctua S-12 120s. Maybe there will be 2C at idle, but when the FIt hits the Shan at Load Im hoping the difference will be seen.

Right now I am looking at Modding a Thermaltake Bach Media Case by installing a 230mm fan on top. ANybody have any ideas on a good HTPC case.

why not just go water instead? the copper is such a waste..

I've mounted a TRUE copper vertically.

What I did (believe it or not) was run shoelaces through two fans to sandwich the heatsink with, and then tied the shoelaces at the top of the case to take the weight off the mobo. Hardly the most elegant solution, but it works. =p

Although I don't like how the TRUE mounts on my motherboard; it's blowing air up rather then back, and it's messing up case airflow a little.. maybe more fans are required to give it a nudge in the right direction.

I have mounted it on my rig, change the bolts, knots, added alu plate, etc.

Very nice. My case's motherboard tray is a little on the flimsy side, though, it bends quite a lot with the weight of the TRUE copper, so I'm pretty much forced to rig up a suspension system.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do with my case airflow? Like I said earlier, I HAD to mount it on my mobo so it blows air up at my PSU rather than out the back. I've put a couple of extra fans on top of it to help direct the air the right way but it hasn't seemed to help terribly much.

can you take a picture inside the case?

MGlBlaze

Afraid not. Believe it or not all the digital cameras I or my family had are broken. >_<

Although... hm...

Basically imagine what it would be like in your case if the heatsink was rotated 90 degrees clockwise, with enough space between the fan on the top and the power supply to fit more 120mm fans, and you'll have the jist of it.

Guys the cooler hangs fine, ive used a bit of copper wire to take some weight, but im sure i dont need it. i like the bracket idea from andy above.
cheers

You went from TRUE Copper to Megalahems right? Which is better in your opinion?
