Hi all,
I'm running a Q9300 on ASUS P5ND motherboard with stock heatsink & fan in Gigabyte GZ-X2 Case which has two 120mm fans.
Using Core Temp software my machine idles at 60c and has been up to 74c when playing games.
I've reseated the heatsink once already cleaning off the thermal pad and used some arctic silver 5.
This hasn't made any difference.
I think I am going to try a ASUS Triton 70
I cant seem to find any decent reviews on this item.
Can anyone recommend me a better one that is just as easy to install?
Also will changing the case fans make any difference?
Thanks in advance!
