Arctic Silver 3

Thought this crap was supposed to lower CPU temps!?! Have seen a steady increase in temps since last week wednesday. What gives? This cooler master heatsink is a piece of @#$%!!!! Ordered a thermaltake A1889 Silent boost, if in the very least it does not cool better, at least it will be quieter!!!! Also putting in 3 Vantec stealth case fans, all 92mm ( 1 front, 1 rear, 1 side ). This bloody thing had better be quiet then, or else!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did you apply the AC3 correctly? there are rather specific instructions to get optimal thermal transfer

One other burning question is, will this sucker fit on my board? From the listed dimensions, it will go but it will be a tight fit. Any help out there?

This sounds more like a whinge but what CoolerMaster HSF are ya usin'? How thick did ya put the AS3 on (it should only be as thick as thin paper)? :?:

Mind giving us a hint of the board in question? My ESP skills are a bit lacking today.

I th9ink it is the HS-L61 with the fan plugged straight offf the PSU as on the mobo it is too slow.
