Cogage Arrow and AMD - mixed results

[dkm777]

Hi guys,

Anybody out there using a Silver Arrow or Cogage Arrow on an AMD Phenom II? How are your temps and what kind of fans do you use?
I have mine OCd to 4GHz and the temps are not entirely spectacular. I have two 1150RPM Gentle typhoons on it. The whole thing feels uniformly warm, but not searing hot like my Venomous-X in my Intel rig or the Hyper 212+ that was used before. Could this mean a poor contact or just the inability of the CPU package to give away heat?

You could always reseat it and see if it changes

I did reseat it once - I found that the first time there wasn't enough thermal paste, so I used a different spreading method, but everything is the same - not better and not worse. If its size didn't make installation a major PITA, I'd be slapping it on my Gulftown right about now. Oh well, I'll start crying when it is incapable of cooling down a Vishera.
