I dont know if i just got a bad heatsink but my volcano 9 is absolutely horrible! There has to be something wrong with it.
Maybe the copper slug was installed badly? Or it does just not sit exactly tight enough on the cpu. I dont know.
Im using a stock Amd 2400 cooler right now and it beats out the volcano 9 by(no joke) 5c! I will return it soon!
BTW i use the 2400 instead of the 2500 cooler cause its slightly larger.
I got a volcano 7+ and its not too bad for its time.
I also usually lap my heatsinks as their base isn't really that flat.
A friend of mine has the other heatsink that guy posted, and it really sucks. his chip is running very hot under full load.
Maybe you should just reseat your volcano. Although not top of the line, they aren't THAT bad, that they're worse than stock cooling
