|  Core 2 duo stay away from thermaltake big typhoon. As some of you already know i purchased a thermaltake big typhoon from my local radio shack yesterday. It installed easily enough but i got temps around 45c no oc. Turns out i put to much arctic silver 5 on so i removed the paste and tried again. This produced 39c oc @ 3.2ghz and 60 on load. not to bad i guess but i wanted more i removed again and reseated for the 3rd time........same results. If you are looking for a heatsink get the tuniq tower, i just ordered it. for a c2d chip the big typhoon just isnt worth 40$ its a waste. learn from my mistake  will update with info on how the tuniq does in a day or so when the egg gets it to me. btw heard that the upgraded model the big typhoon vx does a much better job cooling but i cant speak for that...

| Re: Core 2 duo stay away from thermaltake big typhoon. Your base was probably uneven.. Big Typhoons kinda suck at that but after a lap job they're awesome. It still should've done better then 60 load at stock.. What are you using to monitor your temps?

dude did you let the as 5 cure? as it sures your temps will steadily and gradually drop...it takes about a hundred hours or so. a lap job is what you get at the tee-tee bar.

you will have a noticable temperature drop from the time you apply the as-5 to the time it is cured. ie the temps when you apply it will be higher than they will end up over a little time.

| Re: Core 2 duo stay away from thermaltake big typhoon. thats a little warm, yeah for a c2d as far as i know. i use amd, and my 65nm chip idles at 26* stock voltage. it will get up to 40* idle if i raise the voltage to about 1.5V...i hardly ever do that, only when i have the oc bug. but how is your case flow? whats the ambient temp in your room, etc etc etc lots of factors influence temps...
