I was a little uncomfortable with the temperatures the stock intel HS/fan were getting on my 1.8A, so I ordered a Swiftech MCX4000 & a TMD fan from HeatSink Factory.
I have it all installed, & the temperatures are MUCH higher than they were previously when running under load. When previously running P95 I would see a top of 56-57ºC I checked it & it was running at 65ºC! Needless to say I killed P95 & my CPU is slowly dropping back to 50ºC.
The problem I see, though, is that the fan speed is reported as <1800 RPM in Gigabyte's monitoring application... That seems MUCH too low, considering it's rated at 4500 RPM on their web page...
WTF did I do wrong?
