There are 7 possible explanations for this.
1. Asus has developed a revolutionary new heatpipe technology that runs contrary to established heatpipe theory and practice and is using air as the heat transfer medium. In this case it would be even more essential that the mobo was placed in the...
I went through 3 of these fans before it was replaced with the new type fitted by Asus onto the mobo now. It is bigger and is mounted like a diamond (due to the larger fan size). It has been going faultlessly for a week now and it is pretty quiet. Asus are aware of this and are supplying the new...
Use the ArctiClean. It works in 1/30th of the time of isopropyl and dissolves pads before your eyes without having to worry about scraping. Yes the stated amount of AS5 is the right amount. Any more and the heat transfer gets less efficient.
Actually this case rocks and get great reviews for cooling ability as it is divided into two areas to keep components cool. It consistantly beats cases with 5, 6 and even 7 case fans for cooling due to its design. I have it and have just been playing HL2 for 2 hours. Looking at my temp history...
Heatpipes work by liquid turining into its gaseous form (by boiling) and rising to the top of the enclosure (taking the heat with it) where it cools and converts back into a liquid and falls to the bottom. With the heatpipe inverted (follow this link, click to enlarge the image and picture it...
Hey ClownShoes
I think I have a pretty good idea why your temps are so high. You cannot use the a8n-sli premium with that case as the mobo is inserted upside down. Therefore the heatpipe on your chipset doesn't work (it fries it after a while) and the heat lingers near the cpu. Try swapping...
