Problem is, once it's been running that hot, the thermal paste turns into something almost like concrete = totally useless.

My present 5970 is cooled by Arctic and it hasn't seen a temp above 55 degree yet... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174638


Best of luck!

Yes Jan, I was just thinking about you to those...still expect the supplier to give me information about.


Thank you Jan !
