Hi,
I've got my 2.4C using the retail heatsink, and its running about 42-46C, normal loading. I haven't tried it with any heavy applications yet, but I'm worried its running too hot. I replaced the thermal pad that came with the retail heatsink with artic silver, and I'm thinking I might not have applied it well or something. THe case temperature is 27C, its a large Cheiftec case, with 5 case fans, so the heatsink is getting plenty of cool air. My friend bought a new cooler for his 2.4C, and has an unused retail heatsink. Should I remove my current one, take off the artic silver, and just use the thermal pad, or would that be hotter?
