1. Thing points the wrong way on my AM2+/AM3 Gigabyte. Blows toward the bottom of the PSU above it.
2. The copper CPU base doesn't cover the CPU entirely but leaves the edges bare. (AMD AthlonX2).
3. My temps go up over 10 degrees vs. stock and peak out at 65+ under load.
I yanked it and put the stock cooler back on and it's loud but cooler.
I don't get it these things are so popular and nobody has said anything about this problem on AMD chips? What am I missing? Anything I should try before I chunk it?
