Pulled the Processor out of the box and checked it with a razor. It is just slightly concave. Not as bad as some I have seen.. but we'll see how it does with the 120X. |

I will be very interested to see how your test goes. I just completed an overclocking test on the Q6600, with a Tuniq Tower 120 here http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=532466 - I found that core temperature limited the degree of conservative, reliable over clock frequency to 3.5 GHz. Lets see how the Ultra Extreme does. |

MX-2 did what it said, no curing time. I'm using it and there's no different result from the first time i turn on the rig and the next month i turn on the rig.

So I took a table saw to my Everflow fan that wouldn't work with the clips on the Thermalright. It works now.
