Will say one thing. There is never too much rad for an i7 . Those thing run extremely hot! Those temps are golden

I guess my ocz freeze needed some time to set..... my PA120.3 with gtz block ran it to 25 passes LINX max core temp 59C

Some TIM's need some time to really shine. I have never used that one though. I always use AS5

I might try that next. I still have a fairly new tube of AS5, but I've been meaning to try freeze for a while. Just haven't ran out of AS5 yet

Hey guys is my koolance 330 water block sufficient or should i get a better block or is there a better block for my i7! Even if its just a couple degrees C ill pay the extra money and time for it. I was looking towards the koolance 350 ac. Any thoughts or suggestion for a better block mentioned above!

Chicken Patty · #19 10-09-2009

The 350 is a very good block. But to me the heatkiller is the ultimate water block.

+1 on the heatkiller.... i have seen best results from it.... then again you can easily over tighten it too

believe me i have seen what it can do.

be smart with it and it is the BEST i ave seen so far
