Thermalright RULES!

I had a GlobalWin FSP82 mounted onto my XP2400 for quite some time. This
setup gave me a temp of 53degC. Today I went and picked up the Thermalright
SLK-800. The first installation attempt gave me a temp of 49degC, using
Arctic Silver paste. I removed it and got some nailpolish remover to take
off the thin layer of glue which was left behind when I removed the small
piece of plastic from the mounting surface. Reinstalled the heatsink with
the paste that came with the heatsink.......43degC. =o)

All these temps are worthless. Are you referring to internal or external
temps? And what is the case temp? And is that 100% loaded or just light
loading?

To answer your questions.....

The CPU fan I'm using is only a 3000RPM fan which I grabed off of the FSP82
combo which I was using. I'm not interested in turning my system into a jet
engine airplane...I like things quite.
The CPU temp. of 43degC is not at full load. The board's temp. is between
28-33degC ( no airconditioning so it's kind of warm in the house ).

I do think that this temp. is kind of warm...I guess I got unlucky and got
one from an old batch. My old XP2100 was running @ around 46degC with the
FSP82 that I was using. The way I see it, as long as it stays below 50 I'm
a happy camper. I posted the initial message just to let people know that
the SLK800 makes as big a difference as the reviews say it does. I think
the only way they can improve it is by making it out of gold....not
likely....who would buy it? =o)

Well this post nailed it for me -- I'm buying a Thermalright SLK-900U tonite.
