Looking into a 975 Stock Heatsink with adjustable fan speed for my 920, as it's on ebay for $35, would anyone know what temperatures i would be getting from it?

Cheers.

Pretty crappy temps compared to your WC.

35C idle?

 

[F1ForFrags]

Your sig states "Water Cooling". Why in the hell would you want an Intel stock heatsink?

Please don't lie in your sig.

Trust me 35c idle is better then 45c idle on water cooling

My mistake RealTemp says 47c.

Do it. It's really fun, you get to be a wanabe extreme cooler. It feels good to know you have temps that can only be achieved by Tec or Phase or something.

Thermaltake actually makes some decent stuff as long as you don't mind completing what they cut corners on.

I've noticed that on almost all of their air cooler's, the base is concave. Of the 4 Tt coolers i've checked (2 V1's, 1 Big Typhoon, 1 mini Typhoon), every single one was concave by a good amount.

The Big Typhoon I bought from them needed to be lapped right out of the box. But after lapping, man that thing cools really well, better than my Xiggy DK by about 2C.

One day when I have more time to devote to it, I'll run a nice WC loop....or maybe.....phase change.

1. Water cooling and a D0 920 @ 2.8? WAT?!

3. What brand of "overclocked" 4890?

So much fail not win, I don't know where to start...

Nothing wrong with 32 bit XP and an i7....except that he has 6GB of RAM

I like the UD5 memry as well. And since when did Samsung start making PSU's?

And what OS is that I NEED IT!

You're just misreading the way the quotes messed up the rig.
