Stock 900 series HSF

[chrisf6969]

So I bought a retail 920 a few days ago, but I already had an XP-90c, so I put the 775 (to 478) adapter bracket and installed the XP-90c.

at 3.9Ghz its keeping my 920 at 62C under 100% (2xPrime95) load @ stock vcore. I'm too lazy to take off everything & test the stock HSF.

The stock HSF looks really nice, so I was wondering if I should either sell it, or install it and sell my XP-90c as I don't really need both.

If you have a 900 series + stock HSF @ 3.9Ghz whats your load temps. (I know case airflow & ambient temps play a role here) I'm just looking for a ballpark.

BTW, what do you think the stock HSF would go for in the FS: forum?

My load temps (4 hours of dual prime) are at 45 - 46 C with the stock heatsink at 3.75, haven't gotten up to 3.9 yet but I should be there soon. Gigabyte board does have additional cooling which I imagine contributes to my lower temps. Idle I'm at 28 C.

Damn! nice low temps!

This makes me think that the cooler isn't so great: http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/9358

My temps are in the 40's idle & 61-62 under full Prime95 load.

But then again I'm using a low rpm blue LED fan.
I have a Vantec Tornado, but I like the looks of the neon fan.
Plus the Tornado is louder even at 7v. It takes putting it down to 5v to be quiet like I like it
