I plan to use a Scythe Ninja Mini with some MX-2. Dunno if there are special heatsink compound instructions to use as far as grain-of-rice vs draw-a-line (you all may recall that Arctic Silver made a point of saying you MUST do things a certain way for certain processors because of the viscosity of their compounds) method. I'd rather not blow up a $200 CPU!

Actually, I've decided against using this because from prior experience the clip positions either exert far too much force on the plastic AMD heatsink retention base for my comfort, or they allow a little too much wiggle room to twist the heatsink after it's mounted.

How much will the stock heatsink limit my overclock?

Hey guys, made another winter air overclocking blog with my 955 setup.

Take a peak. http://www.techreaction.net/2009/12/...%E2%80%93-two/

Happy holidays everyone!

I've done it before haha.

It actually really just keeps down the load temperature in such cold temperatures like this. When idle, the processor cannot get colder than the ambient air around it.

Slappa, take plexi glass and cut it to the size of your window. Tape around the pleaxi to help eliminate air and cut a hole in the plexi the size of a dryer exhaust sleeve and run it to the fan. You will not have to sit with icicles hanging from your nose while you overclock!

I have long tubing to my rad and put it outside my window in basement. I close the window as far as I can and use insulation to fill in the small gap. My rad cools my system another 5 degrees under load. The window is in a semi sealed window well and the temps are probably 50 Fahrenheit in the well when it is 32 outside(0 C).

I've done something similar to this but with a much cheaper material....cardboard :P
To be honest, I didn't wanna set it up this time, was too lazy. Plus I don't mind throwing on a sweater or jacket.

I'm watching a movie with my netbook so ill update right now.
