Great job PJ. . . That was definitly a tight sqeeze on the MB. :thumbs:

Good Stuff PJ :thumb:

So if you’re building a quite system, then it’s worth a thought

Also, do you think performance would have been better if it was mounted with out having to bend the fins?

[pastorjay]

Bending the fins had no affect on the performance. Bottom line: This thing left me very disappointed.

i blame it on the AlCu version, you need to test the good version for us.

[pastorjay]

The difference should be minimal at best. It was the same with the 7000's. The Cu version was only about 1-2*C better than the AlCu

i certainly hope this isn't the case, i just purchased a 7000B CU to cool my 3500+ i am installing tomorrow.

the 7000AlCu i had to cool my 3.06 worked really good actually, never saw above 45C at full load with 2 F@H clients.

great job PJ :wave:



Those of us that live on the "Bleedinedge" will certainly want to look elsewhere for our cooling solution, as this unit will just not cut it
layin the smack down :rock:
