Superb
I used two of these on my evga 790i FTW mobo. The northbridge installation is easy but southbridge is PITA. It was necessary to adjust (read "bend") the angle of heatpipes in order to mount it horizontally and it WILL limit you to max 2 way SLI. also the bracket needed to be flipped and combined with my custom screws (read not in bundle) but the result.... Otherwise if you dont like it stick to north and get something else for south. Overall here are the specs before and after installation (take a note that my system is overclocked: q9550 2.83 @ 4.0ghz 1.3v 1882 fsb with mushkin ddr3 @ 1882 (1600 native. part number 996601) link n sync 8-8-7-20-2T 24/7 stable). With these specs i had SPP at 57-60 and MCP at 66-68 celsius. After mod i got SPP down to 43-44 and MCP 34-36!!! The room temp was kept at 23-24 celsius during testing and stressing. Great result giving me some extra space for overclock. Buy it! |
