I'm tired of bugging you guys, I just bought it <3. Will post pictures
Using the CM Hyper 212+, I finally got around to stress testing my overclock at stock voltages overnight with Prime95.
For the first 15 minutes or so AMD Overdrive was showing ~52C, but after ~8 hours of crunching the average dropped to ~42C.
Nice! Both are lower than anything I get while using the processor. Hell, 42C is lower than I get at idle...
Are you using Arctic Silver 5?
Did you Hyper 212+ users apply the thermal compound on the actual heatsink, in between the Heat pipe crevasis? Or just a dot or so on the actual CPU cooler itself?
A dot on the CPU for me. I had to take it off and remount it because I have a penis and don't read directions.
While doing this I didn't bother reapplying or anything and the coverage looked pretty good so I went with it.
1. I lold at your way you decided to tell me you aren't some pussy who reads directions.
2. I read on the interweb that it's ideal to put the stuff in the crevices between the heat pipes and mounting flat panel thing that sits on the CPU. thoughts?

Well the problem with HDT that I've been reading is there are spaces and the surface is not ideally flat. So in order to "fix" that, the compound has to be more spread out and... in places.

I did both.... a small amount in the center of the CPU IHS, and I also applied some along the heatpipes to help fill in the gaps.
Next bugging point. I've seen 2 videos for installation. Install the backplate first, or the backplate last (aka - turn the mobo over after you put the heatsink on and screw thru the mobo holes)
Did you spread a little bit inbetween the cracks with your HDT? I'm doin research while I wait for it to get here
Not really. But I'm going to replace this best buy rocketfish brand with a 212+ soon. So I intended to make sure everything was the best I could, then.
I'm a little confused by what you mean. You inteded to make sure everything was the best, when you did own one? Or are you talking about you doing research as well.

I think me fumbling around and remounting it caused the compound to fill the spaces pretty well.
Just finished playing Metro 2033 for about an hour and the temps never topped 40C in AMD Overdrive.
okay cool. I guess I should just put the normal amount on my CPU/maybe a little extra to fill the spaces, then?
