Ok, well I have the megahalem in right now.. and..
Idles @ 40 C, load's @ 70 C after a few mins of orthos, a hour puts it to upper 80's.
I expected more.. is it because i didn't put the fan on?

I've got about 3 120mm fans, i am thinking of putting one on.

what do you guys think?/

Lol, are you for cereal, you can't just stick an hs on it if there's nothing pushing heat off the heatsink! You can't really expect the ambient air to pull off that much man. Even a ****ty 120mm would do wonders.

you can't pressure mod a megahalem. It would be impractical and useless, all the while fubaring up the sweet mounting system.

For some reason I think it's too high.

What thermal paste did you use? You should try some Arctic Cooling MX-2.
Remount
Compare temps.
Repeat until you get lower temps :P

Really?

I used http://www.frozencpu.com/products/37..._Material.html

coolaboraty Liquid pro

I applied it correctly, I think hehe.

Note the VCore is @ 1.32, CPU @ 4GHz.

That stuff is EXTREMELY difficult to apply right, and it is basically permanent. Personally I would never use that stuff. Get some OCZ Freeze and try to remove as much of that Liquid Pro as you can.

2 fans push/pull will give you your best results

I've got it on right. Trust me.

I originally put on some AS5 and the temps were a 6 C higher.

I would get OCZ Freeze, but that would cost me 20 dollars.

I would also like to add i am in the bahamas and it's summer. hehe.

CPU Wattage peaks @ 115, wattage designed is 95.
