Hey if it works it works.
yep, just waiting on the fan
also wondering if its really that important to use better paste than arctic silver ceramique for a 56w pentium g

it works really fucking well .
i spend like 1.99 for the bungie cords and they just happen to be the perfect size/tension for the fan .

For a 56w chip? You could likely get away with going pasteless.

What are the temps like before/after?
>>55311148
i dropped around 10 degrees when i run prime 95 .
the heatsink is not that good so switching fans will only do so much

What CPU are you running and how OCed is it?

We have the same fans. Do you have one woodscrewed to a shitty northbridge heatsink?

8320 running at 3.8 ghz . that was what i was running before the fan swap, i haven't gone to the bios to change anything since then. with my previous all in one cooler i was running it at 4.4 ghz which is not doable right now .

What is there to make fun of? I nigrig shit for my pc all the time. When I had sli gtx670s I reduced temps by glueing an 80mm fan into the side panel for some airflow in between the cards.
Worked wonders.

You could probably get 4-4.1 out of it before thermals become unmanageable again, depending on how much volts your chip needs for those clocks.
Speaking of fans and heatsinks I need to get my hands on third party GPU heatsinks for both of my cards, and I need to completely replace all of the fans on my case with something stronger.
The 660 needs one because I want to flash the card, stick a bunch of those place-anywhere mosfet heatsinks on the VRMs then overclock the crap out of it.
The 440 OEM needs it because the stock heatsink is a piece of shit and it doesnt have that much airflow passing through.
Case fans in general are needed because the fans on this Xclio Nighthawk fucking suck for a rig of this performance level
