What temp do you get where the tubes go into the rad?

I have two different types. I had Polysynthetic silver; used Cooler Master Ceramic Polysynthetic this time. Yea I've done it a few times, and the last application was near perfect. Only say near because there was a little that was on the side of the CPUs aluminum.

No change in temp.

Some do degrade over time. What kind do you have and do you know how to apply it?

I have some thanks though. This stuff expire, or need to be re-applied in X amount
of months??

Si If not, I'm in N Garland and have a 4g tube of MX4.

Ill see if I have some tim somewhere... That is thermal grease right? lol

I'd pull the water block, clean the old tim off it and the cpu, then reapply fresh stuff and see how it does.

I use Scythe fans, extremely quiet.

Scythe is great, I have the fans that came with the case, and one PC Queen. on the side sucking in for the CPU radiator.

I just took the motherboard side off and under the CPU I got a 57C reading...

Core Temp says I'm at 65*C, the highest thing I could find with my IR thermometer was at 43*C (caps next to the CPU). When the temp reads high, it runs like crap.

What you talkin bout Willis? These are quiet in comparison to what came on h80.

I picked a pack of them up and returned them because of how loud they were. Sounded like they belong on a server.

You could try these from Microcenter and have them price match Newegg.

Just an FYI, the high static pressure fans are LOUD and annoying.

I can get one, and where is the thermistor at?

just hit the base of the heat sink/near the pcb and see if it's near what the thermistor is reading. Just to ballpark if it's giving you accurate readings.
