Being that the design looks like a an decepticon to begin with, I guess this would be the Autobot version? :cool3:
Be good for a one of those "Pretty" builds from back in the day :blink:

I have mixed feelings of it. I love the black cooler, but for some reason I think the all silver looks soo nice. I guess depending on the color scheme of the build.

Guys sorry, I would have had some benches already, but the BSOD's that plagued me before while on water are back!!!! Started since I installed the cooler, I have no effin' clue what it can be. I think I got it sorted out though so I'll keep you guys posted.

lol. I have the rig on a mobo box and its doing better, I honestly think my issue was the heatsink stressing the board due to its weight. I'll keep you guys posted.

If its hard to get the crossbar on, then the mount is off and will stress the mobo. The backplate posts should slide a lil into the mobo holes.

they do, and the crossbar is in perfectly. Just the weight I guess.

Now that the issues are sorted out with the rig. Going to do some more testing.
here is what I got from my daily 4Ghz setting and beyond. The 3rd picture shows the actual temps. For some reason they hold steady at around 57-58ºc on the hottest core and for split second they jump. I think it's just a glitch with the temp. sensor on the board I guess.
