Core i7 CPU Heat Sink

dandivine · Nov 18, 2008

I just received my ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard and the Core i7 CPU, I couldn't find a heat sink that suits me or would fit in my case without obstructing the top fan so I was wondering,
I am going to use the stock Intel cooler that came with the CPU until more heat sinks are available, is it ok to clean it and use arctic silver 5 on this cooler?
Thanks...

Yes, replacing the TIM with AS5 would be a good idea.
There are new brackets out that can be used to fit older heat sinks such as the TRUE etc.

In fact, if you didn't use AS5 over the stock TIM I would be worried

Just don't expect to get much, if any, OC with the stock cooler.

I don't know man...mgoode got almost 4.2GHz on the stock cooler (I'm sure its not stable, though).

anyone have any idea when the 1366 TRUE 120 is coming out?

I emailed Thermalright last week but they haven't gotten back to me. I don't want to buy a regular TRUE and then buy an additional bracket and fan mount, etc. I'd love to buy this all in just one package as this new release will contain.

Heh, maybe I should tentatively half-retract my previous statement

I was able to pick up a Noctua NH-U12P with a 1366 adapter locally.
So other mounting kits will come out soon
