30c is good...but that can't be load temps on air...run the 3d fuzzy cube and monitor your temps to see whatcha get there. The 3D Fuzzy cube is very good at loading a GPU..only a couple other things I found are better..the bench w/the 3d fuzzy "O" and modern games.
For my AC S1 ramsinks that had crappy barely-sticky stuff on them, I just put a dab of I think it was Arctic Ceramique (white tube, white goop) and installed them...put a little pressure for about 30 seconds each...they stay w/o issue and remove with ease...plus cleanup is a breeze.
Well if you ever have to remove those sinks...maybe take a blowdryer to heat them up and remove in a twisting motion to break the alumina loose...never used that stuff before...but from the sounds of it...you shouldn't have to worry!
yeah, the 30c is at idle, I will run the 3d cube, I have that. The arctic stuff is a two part, like an epoxy, you mix a 1:1 ratio of each. I also cut the other heat sink that comes with the accelero to use on the other chips, I think the VRM's. I dont think everybody does this but if you notice, the stock heat sink/fan on the card had thermal pads on those, A little dremel work and they look like they were made for it. Also, did you clean off the thermal tape first, or just put the ceramigue on it?
