All cores ile in and around 40c, then go as high as 76c underload :shock:

Hmm something not right there, if I'm getting much better results. Did you use your own grease? I used some AS5 just because I only trust my own TIM application. Yeah, something's not right there. Is the fan rigged to intake? Maybe Coolit made a mistake and installed the fan as exhaust but doubtful...

That's definately going to help. Gotta get the coolest air possible over your rad, and also make sure your hoses aren't near anything hot, adding extra heat to the fluid.

ok that dropped it down to 32c idle which is very good for an i7 oc'd.

time to torture test it and see what the peak is.

Both are intake for airflow, speaking of airflow, make sure you are exhausting as much air as you're pulling in to either get balanced or negative pressure.

Those are some very respectable temps for an i7. Glad you got that sorted out! Also forgot to mention, even though I'm sure you already know this, that coolers tend to get better overtime, assuming they're dust free, as the TIM adheres better to the interface.
