Just looking at the last photo, did you happen to twist the H70 cooler down before clamping?

I spread it around a little before i tightened the screws. I did this on both the H50 and H70.

When the H70 came off it spun just a little counter clockwise to remove.

When I installed my H50 I used a thin spread of TIM and left enough slack in the mount so the cooler never touch the cpu and tightened down the screws evenly. Twisting the cpu will spread the TIM but may cause air pockets and drastically affect cooling!

I used IC Diamond 7k which is hard to work with and the recommended application is in a "pea sized" dot in the middle of cpu then use heat sink to spread then tighten heat sink down.

I applied the TP and reseated it on the H70 2 times. I don't think I had problem with the TP application.

in most situations, it looks like he applied tim reasonably right on this one, so there is no need to argue or question his results!

Here is a small update on my H50 in the 2nd rig: (9950-cruncher)

I moved some fans around and decided to try the push/pull setup. Well the temps did drop a bit which was great, but this is only @ stock clocks for now.

nice bud

someone should change the title to h50/70 club

t77snapshot · Oct 29, 2010

^^^ that sounds like a great idea...SonDa5 should pm the mods and have that tak'in care of.

Chicken Patty · Oct 29, 2010

Looks great T77

[Ion] · Oct 29, 2010

I think my H50 might be in need of a re-mount, temps are in the upper 70s, despite ambients being ~65F (I had the same temps when the ambients were 20F higher over the summer).

Will investigate later

t77snapshot · Oct 29, 2010

Thank you CP and ERazer

Hopefully [Ion] approves of my build.....*cough*9950*cough* :laugh:

Sure he will :toast:

I'm not arguing his results,...just an observation of the TIM on the underside of his H50 & H70,...and a suggestion of alternate method of application

Under the conditions which were the same for both the H50 and the H70 the TP application method of "pea size" drop in center was the same and under the same conditions the H50 was a little cooler.

The Conditions were the same for my tests and that is the way I wanted them to evaluate the performance of each cooler.

OK fair enough as part of an evaluation of different cooling kits that's fine.

Getting ready to go custom liquid loop. Waiting on hardware to build my first liquid loop on my new DFI X58 JR build.

Here is before photo of new RIG. The Case is SilverStone Raven (RV-02)

H50 is sitting on top with a Scythe Kaze 120mmx38mm pulling air out of the top of the case. H50 radiator has a "ghetto Shroud" gutted 120x25mm fan housing.

Last days for my H50. :cry:

I've been running it that way for years with no problems. What have you heard that could go wrong?

the HDD and cd-drive have different data transfer speeds (ie HDD a lot faster the cd), having them on the same cable defaults them to the slowest drive speed aka the cd-drive across the bus, am i wrong?

No that's correct. This is just one of my crunching rigs so hdd performance is not a big deal in this case. Thank you for pointing that out anyways because I have forgotten all about that.
