Hi,
i recently installed the scythe mugen 2 onto my Q9550 thats oc'd to 4ghz (vcore 1.38125). I mounted it vertically ( fan sucking air from below) instead of horizontally ( fan sucking air from the ram modules). What i am experiencing are temps of ~75-~75- 68-69 so in average my temps of cores 2 and 3 are a 5 to ten degrees lower ( all in °C). Now i read was that scythe made an uneven base to fit better on the intel cpu ihs.. ( higher in the middle). But can it be that by mounting it vertically i ectually made 4 air pockets intead of none???
I also think those temps are a bit to high for the mugen 2 ( maybe because of the problem from above)
Do i have to lap my cpu, or just try better to remount it horizontally? BTW i use AS 5...
Can some people post their experiences with the cooler ( i can't find to much info on it, and scytheforums is to slow to respond in my oppinion)
cheers
