Short story: my old man has the heat sink listed above, but his computer constantly goes over 70c and causes overheating issues when gaming. So he bought a new one and convinced me to install it for him XD.
I applied the paste, hooked it up, and he went back to gaming. Only to find that the temps were the same.
So i cleaned every flipping fan. Hours of work. I double checked correct air flow. Still the same temps.
Im stumped. The only thing i can think of is maybe the fan isnt spinning fast enough. When i hold my hand towards the back, the airflow doesnt impress me. And that is with the airflow controller twisted to the far right for the maximum air output.
My HyperN520 runs the same game at the same settings 30 degrees cooler. Is it the fact that the V8 doesnt use copper?
Any ideas would be appreciated, thx.
