Time for a clean me thinks.

I don't know why the fan doesn't appear blurred in the 2nd pic, I can assure you it was moving when I took the picture.

I think it could last another couple months

amazing how fast it builds up init...
if you want to help cooling your chipset you should take the glod colored plastic coated aluminuim asus cover on it (northbridge) i did and it droped mobo temp 2deg's

I will have a look at that when I take it out. I was considering taking off the chipset cooling and putting some AS5 down to bring temps down, may help with the overclocking.

i have done exactly that i dont know if it voids warrenty tho, i also put arctic ceramic pads on the heat pipes on the psupply regulators. my mobo was always reading 48-52degs idle!!! its now about 42-45 these boards do run hot, mines even hotter cause its the 975x chipset.

Yeah well the 965p chipset is cooler. But the northbridge is still hot. It doesn't have a sensor for it, but I would say it is around 40deg.

got some piccys then of your new cooler? hows it doing for oc?

Any recomendations on a cooler for me? x1950pro

mine is so fucking noisy. i want a more silent one. wel one that i cant hear wineing over all the other fans in my case.

No camera, my dad has it and he left for Spain today. I will take some piccys when he gets back.

That is what it looks like:

It is running cooler without a fan than the stock cooler that came with it did with a fan.

But this one only works with the 8800 series. For all other cards, the ThermalRight HR-03. This is the plus version which is bigger as the core of the graphics card is bigger.

Not sure about the original but this is better than stock without a fan, so one with a quiet fan will do wonders.

EDIT: Just realised that pic isn't mine, that would be the one you would need, mine has 6 heatpipes.

just do what i did with my old dell, get the hoover and stick it inside..... then rub a balloon on your head and touch all those fiddly bit you can see on the fartherland..i mean motherfliper,.. board thing.
