Hey guys,
I currently have the scythe mugen 2 rev. b on my i7 920 @ stock, and having trouble with it. I had to reinstall the mugen due to ram replacement, and it's a real pain in the ass.
I cleaned my CPU + mugen with rubbing alcohol 70%, used MX-3 in combination with pea method, and tightened the screws in a way they stick out through the nuts like 0.5 mm.
Current temps as stated by Coretemp: 44 minus and 52 max idle.
During Prime95 stress test temps are: 64 minus 69 max.
I reseated the mugen several times, including using the vertical line method instead of the pea method, but the results are the same.
I'm considering getting a new CPU cooler for like max 60 bucks.
Can someone advise me a good alternative for the mugen? (preferably one which is easier to place)
Thank you in advance
