    Scythe Infinity..

    The Infinity did come wih some silicone paste, but I used Arctic Silver 5. You can look up its W/Mk online, but it seems to be one of the best you can use. I'm now at 3.0Ghz at stock Vcore. Idle dropped to 26C, and Load is around 40C. However, Load temps as reported by MSI DualCore Center...

    Got My Scythe Infinity hs/fan Today

    Yep, I'm from the US. Got my Infinity at performance-pcs.com, because they have free sleeving of the Infinity's fan cable. It's a little touch that I wanted.

    Scythe Infinity..

    I shall humbly refer to here for more temps on the Infinity. At the moment, I'm running a E6600 @ 2.4Ghz stock, and I'm getting 31C idle. I'll keep you guys updated when I'm able to OC my rig.

    Scythe Infinity..

    The Infinity LGA775 push-pin system was a pain in the ass to use, IMHO. But, I suppose all other LGA775 push-pin heatsinks are the same too. Without further ado, here are some pics!

    Scythe Infinity..

    Yep, you can point the fan towards the back exhaust fan. The Scythe Infinity manual (found here) tells all. While it's most advantageous to have the fan pointed on the wider side of the Infinity (like the German review had theirs), you can use the fan hooks to put the fan on the narrower side of...

    E6600 Max Vcore

    Intel's absolute max Vcore is 1.55V. People's general consensus is that you shouldn't go over 1.6V EVER, and that 1.6V will lower your CPU's lifespan; however, how much that lifespan is reduced is up in the air. Best to stick with Intel's 1.55V.

    Scythe Infinity..

    960g is really freaking heavy....I e-mailed Scythe about the weight of teh Infinity, and here's what they said: "As for your question, we have tested this cooler before launching to the public and the provided clips can support the cooler fine and would not cause any issues of breaking the...

    testing mx-1 thermal compound

    The Zalman STG-1 thermal grease isn't good in the long run. According to its Material Safety Data Sheet, which silversinksam on ocforums.com obtained from Zalman, STG-1 is just oil based silicone thermal material. The oil is the reason why STG-1 works so well in the short run, but given time...

    If I don't plan on overclocking should I still get a 6300?

    Good gosh, why did ya have to discourage the guy?! :rolleyes: OCing isn't really that hard; as long as you don't go past Intel's absolute MAX voltage (for the E6600, it's 1.55V; I don't know whether the same applies to the rest of the Core 2 series), you have relative impunity in...

    FS: Brand New Asus A8Jm Notebook ($1400), HIS IceQ3 Radeon X1900XT ($299)

    Two questions about the HIS Radeon X1900XT IceQ3: 1. Will the card come with its standard clocks, or with X1900XTX speeds? 2. Will the card come in its original packaging, with all cables included?

    Another Arctic Silver 5 question.

    The heatspreaders ARE made out of copper (nickel-plated copper, that is). Try lapping a heatspreader, and you'll soon see the copper underneath the nickel plating.

    Conroe cooler?

    Scythe Infinity is coming out around August 12, and from the pictures of the included parts on http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/cpu/024/scinf1000.html, it does not require you to take out the mobo to install a backplate or anything.

    Uhoh? College is around the corner!

    Cool, cool. HD555 is at Amazon.com for $99.99 w/ free Super Saver Shipping, btw. Crossfire is basically like SLI. Due to the two PCI-E 8x slots, you can also utilize the upcoming ATi Physics setup; basically, you could use one card as your main rendering unit, and another lesser card as a...
