I just got this system put back together.
it WAS a D5 pump, 1/2" tubing, Apogee block, and BIPII RAD with ~60CFM SilenX fans...with no shroud
And that was on a 4400+ at 2.6Ghz 1.55v
And my temps at idle were always ambient (usually around 22-24) and load temps were hardly ever above 30-32
Now I've switched things around a bit and am using an Opteron 165 at 3.0Ghz cpuZ says 1.568v (have it set to 1.4v*114%
The fans are Scythe S-flex's rated for 63CFM and I made a shroud that stands them off about 2 inches from the RAD.
Now my temps are idling @ 28-30 and load 38-40
Could the big difference be from a bad mount? I did something different this time from what I did previously. Before I would spread out the AS5 all over the heatspreader (as thin as possible using a plastic baggie)
This time I did it the way Arctis silver recomends on their website (put a BB sized dab in the center of the Heatspreader and then put the block on to squeeze it out)
should I try a remount?
