Woah my bad. I did not mean to put that other link there. I have no idea what happened
Just got it in the mail. I don't see how I'm supposed to install it and it came with no directions.

if you want help, you need to do better than that dumb link

Ok that's the right one.

Sorry

that sight is supposed to show how to remove the push pin but I get a 404 error

plastic push pins come in 2 flavors:
a. twist and lock
b. pop it through once and that's pretty much it

if you have b, try squeezing the tabs that make the tip on the underside of the board, while pushing up through the hole. i would probably just cut them. don't let the heatsink fall, and watch out for spring-loaded plastic pieces flying into your eye.

It's an AC pro 7 so that's A right?

looks like A.

waitaminute, are you trying to remove the push pins from the AC frame?

 

[emblem]

I guess I am. Is there any other way to do it?

 

[The Boston Dangler]

to remove those, you'd have to cut. is there a reason you need the backplate and bolt-through mounting? i ask because the cooler is not all that heavy.

That is why. I'm getting temps when using Core Temp of .96 of 44C on stock everything with my E2200 and A CM690 case. I've reseated my heatsink multiple times with AS5 and the MX that the AC7 comes with.

Maybe it's my case air flow but I don't know. The only part of my case that has a lot of wires would be the bottom.

Pretty much all my 4 pin connectors are at that bottom part. I don't have a fan there or anything like that.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

i think it's a sensor issue. it's pretty rare that Speedfan is initially correct and Core Temp is wrong.

 

[emblem]

Well about CoreTemp.

CoreTemp .96 gives me the high temps of 46C while .96.1 gives me 30C

It's because the Tjuntion Max of the .96.1 is 85 while .96 is 100

I don't know which to believe.

So ya, I plan to also order a infrared thermometer and see for myself.

Maybe these will help;

I think understand how you install the bolt thru.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

save your money, the IR thermometer won't give you an accurate result.
1. what you're trying to measure is under a hunk of metal
2. the temperature of that metal is lower than the chip
3. IR thermometers are good for big things, not small things. i have one that's about as good as it gets without spending a ton of money, and it reads in an 8:1 cone. 8" away = 1" circle, 16" away = 2" circle

if .96 gives a funky result, and .96.1 gives a decent result, then go with .96.1. it sounds like you're doing everything properly.

I just OC'd my 2200 to 2.42
At idle I am getting 49C(.96)
Using orthos for 30 minutes I was getting 68C in .96 and 54C in .96.1

I set the settings to show "Delta to Tjuntion max temp"

Using that on both versions of coretemp it shows that at idle it's 51C to Tjunction max remaining

So on Coretemp .96 T junction max of 100
Idle 49C
51C to Tjunction max remaining

Coretemp .96.1 Tjunction max of 85
Idle 34C
51C to Tjunction max remaining

I'm guessing that what that tells me is my temperatures are in some way even.

I hear a lot of people say that over 65C is bad. So that means with a T junction of 100, 65C would be
45C to Tjunction max remaining.

So my goal should be to have my Tjunction max be at 45 or better?

65 is ok, it's not good but not really at the bad point. 70C is where you should never go over as the IHS will become unstable above 73C for any prolonged period of time but, to be safe I'd say 45+ is a good way to go.

What do you mean the IHS will become unstable? My E2140s are at 85C 24/7 and are rock solid. (CoreTemp 0.96 measurement)

I'm still under the 73C max Tcase Intel specification too, so I figure I'm good.

Theoretically, the silicon "weld" that holds the IHS to the package is advertised to become unstable at 73C. According to an engineer with one of the packaging companies for intel, they're stable to 200F with their manufacturing process but, he cannot speak for any of the other packagers as intel uses 3 or 4 now. Intel only fabs the cores themselves in house and out-sources some if not most of it's packaging to other companies.

There were specific instructions on Thermalright's site for removing the plastic pins but since they upgraded their site it's not available. If you're not going to keep the pins then as TBD suggested cut them off. If you want to save them then gently lift the 2 plastic tabs on either side of the pin and pull the center part out, rotate the body and pull it out of the hole.

You sure you don't have the HSF installed wrong ? Normally like to exhaust heat out the back of the case with the HS fan.

 

[emblem]

I'm pretty sure.

http://c1.neweggimages.com/New...mage/35-186-134-01.jpg

The side of the fan is supposed to face away from the exhaust fan at the back

http://c1.neweggimages.com/New...mage/13-128-059-02.jpg

So the fans of the heatsink face towards the ram slots so it can blow hot air towards the exhaust fan at the back.

Mine looks exactly like that.
