its nature of the beast. more thermal capacity = bigger cooler..... bigger cooler = well bigger cooler :laughing:

My A70 only blocks the first DIMM slot :P

That would be a huge help in solving the RAM useage problem if it did but this cooler is not one of those you can turn the way you want.
Yes, if I had set it to exhaust towards the GPU that may have helped temps a little but I did have a small fan blowing onto the board to similate things as if it were in a case with proper airflow, plus to help it get air for the reason you stated about drawing air in. On that note it would help the CPU but make the GPU run hotter - The Thuban will throw out some heat and this cooler will pick it up and move it too.

I can make it rujn even hotter if I wanted to but the Thuban tends to have a thermal spike while trying to boot if I go too high with voltage. I'm not aware of any aircooler that can fix that problem and it even happens if it's on watercooling too. You can then give it even more juice but even that has it's limits as I know already - Been there, tried that with the Thuban.

No worries bro we are working on a mounting solution for the AMD to allow mounting on any board in any orientation.

it should be out soon.

Please feel free to compare to OCK and lemme know the temps in comparison ;)

EDIT: and yes I am free to harass you on my personal acct :taunt:

If Tt supplies the OCK, I would be happy to run various tests and post a review :thumbsup: Please let me know the tracking number so I can insure I don't miss the delivery :D

Story of my life :blush:

I'm glad what I did stirred up some conversation on the subject. :green9:

I'm also hoping it proved to be useful info as well. I knew the pics I took would show a thing or two about it at least and the way I ran the tests would probrably give some good comparative info to the cooler's overall thermal capacity.
Only thing I didn't do was to try an extended test with something like OCCT - The OCCT test ran with all six cores going would be the ultimate test for the cooler but I didn't want to risk the chip that way. Just got the CHV back and working and I kinda want to keep it that way for awhile at least since the MSI took a dump. :poopinghorse:
