I installed a zalman 80c to my radoen 9800np the other day. I wanted somthing to allow me to oc the holy bejesus out of it, buuuuut the noise of my system has been nagging lately, so i baught this.
thing is, i wonder if i might installed it incorrectly. in the instructions, it tells you to touch the heatsinks after a few minutes of operation. they should both be at similar temperatures...
after a few hours of halo gameplay, the primary side heatsink is very warm *not hot enough to burn like the stock cooler was *, the heatpipe was really hot and the secondary side is only warm to the touch? I know there is better airflow there. my case exaust fan and my 92 mm panaflow over the cpu.
did i install it incorrectly? its not unstable or anything. buuuut yea. the heatpipe is very hot, one would think the heatsink would be hot too.
