Thermalright V1 - user notes and review

[Punkydammit]

Updated with temps using an additional 80mm fan mounted on the bottom of the V1.

Big improvement, although I'm still disappointed in the NON-adhesive thermal crud on the ramsinks.

Another review seen here came out today.

I saw that one, and can't figure out why he got the results he did.
My complaints are with the instructions and the crappy non-adhesive thermal stuff on the ramsinks- certainly not with performance.

what direction should the fan airflow go?
I have the thermalright fan blowing away from the radiator thing and my other fan blowing into heatsink. is this the optimum direction for air flow?

the second fan is the zalman 80x80x15 silent fan (came with a zalman grill)

thanks
