Temps of E6750 w/ Push-pins (If you can't see it clearly, scroll down)

The Products

The Parts:

Retention Bracket

Finished

Tests (Check thumbnails, the second one)

Conclusions
3.6 w/o Retention Brakets -> Idle - 30C Load - 57C

3.6 w/ Retention Brakets --> Idle - 27C Load - 58C

Idle temps are better by 3C but load tems are up by 1C. I think I didn't apply thermal paste correctly thats why load temps are 1C higher. Not too bad, could be better. If I have time I might reapply TIM. Thanks guys for staying tuned. Now i'm gonna go for 4.0GHz

Subscribed! I'm really interested in the results as I'm planning on getting a retention bracket at some point.

Interesting. I just bought the xigamatech one for my vendetta. Haven't test it yet but much more secure than push pins. Waiting for your results =]

Will be interested to see the results too, as I Fabricated my own bolt thru retention backplate mod, as per link in sig.

I use the Xigmatek bracket for my Vendetta 2, works great. I'll be checking back here later.

Sexy bracket

I had to cut some off the black part of my pushpins to stop the thing bending my board severely! So this looks a much better job.

The base of my cooler (Gladiator Max) was not very flat - how was your Vendetta?

it will work, OCZ heatsink made by Xigmatek.

Hey Guamon, are your tests done yet? I'm looking forward to the results!

Finished testing check OP. Now i'm going for 4.0GHz hopefully

Hmm, doesn't look to be a large improvement...
