Ok, here is a bizarre one with case on its side (horizontal) my temps at 4.3 Ghz at Prime95 load are 64C and I am very happy with this from a Hyper EVO.
But, If I turn case vertical (normal tower position), then within 2 minutes the temps shot up to 80C
And if I put case back to its side position and restart Prime95, the temps return to normal 64C at load.
Anyone have an ideas on this?
Whats most likely - defective MB that has backpanel plate not working to sustain weight of Hyper EVO cooler. Or that the cooler itself has bad mount and is defective?
The screws to motherboard are fully tightened and when I try to wiggle the cooler it does not give and is very snug to cpu.
I know that with Hyper EVO that there is this tension screw in middle and perhaps it is giving too much when case is vertical.
SOLVED, getting 56C now at Prime95 load, very happy now:
