I installed a TRUE in my rig this past weekend and was surprised to see my temps under load to be the same as the temps with my Zigmatek S1284EE.
I even lapped the True to 600 grit and the cpu lapped also to 600, even. I did the razor test with a light shining behind the blade also and all seemed to be even. I purchased this used so it is likely and older version having trouble with pressure.
With Prime95 small fft max at 65 either heatsink for me, odd. I used ocz freeze for TIM and I only put a small bit in the middle of the cpu (2 grains of rice size I think). I also reseated the TRUE twice so far now with the same results. It seems like the sink is tightly down to the board. Does anyone have any ideas?
TIM application methods are all over the place, thermalright says to put some on the chip and on the TRUE, OCZ says only to put a small bit on the cpu, etc. I am wondering if I am missing anything. Maybe I just have bad luck.
