:toast: no problem bro.


Man I need a res and a pump to put the PH II under water. Temps are not too good already at 3.7ghz. need better cooling before I continue to play around with it.
Temps under water for me are a tad higher than id like...... mid 30's idle and upper 40's under load.... i have a fitting that need's to be grilled out on the rad, it's restricting the flow. :cool:
but so far so good

brad, that little thermal take rad can only do so much bro.


Would you be interested in a Koolance 120.1. Same material as your TT rad and it cools better IMO. As far as price, you know what the price is ;)

This is the rad :

what heat sink do you use???

Trying to get a good idea of what heat sink everyone recommends for a 9950 (black box) on a M3A32-MVP deluxe board? Tried an Thermalright Ultra 120, but it was too tall. Any recommendations?

Thx.
