when i got my 920 and used the stock fan at stock speeds, i was getting BSODs (fresh win7 install) once i hit 85C in prime95.
scraped the intel HSF gunk off, and put on AS3. not much of a noticeable change.
fan defo was spinning. tested seating once (in addition to the initial seating) on each setup (intel, AS3). heat sink DEFINITELY was flat. not sure about CPU heat spreader.
anyone ELSE experience this? i've never had an AMD/intel HSF fail to cool before. (well, i DID use a Q6600's HSF for a used E4400 i got, my first intel since my P2-333)
since time was limited (had a distributed computing contest to do), i got a Xigma DK, but still, a manufacturer's cpu fan SHOULD NOT fail as colossally as this...
