maybe defective or bad job of putting it on?
mine keeps my cpu (5200) at 33 right now
used to be high 30's to low 40's with stock

and kev i didnt wanna bother you because you're always busy

eitehr your mobo shows -15c incorrect temps or your room temp is below 10c.

edit: for example my E6750 was 17c idle... which was against laws of physics as room temp was +20c.

edit: -10c might be more correct.

But none of the Zalmans are even on the top 10 on the Frostytech link I posted a while ago. It was a decent cooler when it first came out, but it's not anymore.

that I agree. I had 9700NT. My Q6600 GOs heat at high oc was too much for it to handle

ok, whatever you say chief
about the new system, should i stick with amd or go with intel?
right now im leaning towards intel since most of you guys said i should get it

well can you afford it now? its all about how much money you can use... it will cost ~1200USD and that is not debatable...

well i should be able to get more so sure why not
but keep in mind the new stuff that'll be out by the time i actually make it
hopefully the prices will drop a little lol

im gonna get more money to put into this because this is gonna last me for 4 years (hopefully) through college
i dont want to end up doing this again
