I'm wondering if there's a major problem with the heat transfer (but I can't imagine what) the pipes at the base of the heatsink are not even warm after running it at full load for 45 minutes. It has complete full contact with the CPU there's absolutely no way it doesn't.
These fans are...
when I removed it after the 4mm dot yes there was good coverage but it was a little thin on the edges, granted the main heat is in the center of the core, I still wanted full even coverage which is why I cleaned and reapplied.
I'm tempted to take out 2 of the 4 sticks of memory and turn the...
The first time around I did the 4mm dot, currently I have the spread method where I covered the CPU (almost to the edges to allow for extra spreading). I can't point the fans up/down due to the GSKILL Trident's Heatspreaders.
Also already checked the measurements with a ruler. I've...
and the heatsink is fairly cool which is troubling. I know I don't have too much thermal paste on there. I applied the recommended 4mm dot. Maybe I should go a little less??
I'm ready to just return this thing and wait for the H50 mount.
Well the temps are going up and down like crazy.

I have several on my camera, I'll get them uploaded when I get home.
The temps are going down a little but I'm still not completely satisfied. Maybe after a week the thermal paste will settle in even though Noctua claims their paste doesn't require time to do this.
Nope not overclocking.
I haven't actually checked the heatsink to see if it's getting warm. I would assume it is.
From what I've read, Noctua's thermal paste doesn't require any "set in" time so I'm assuming the fact that it's only been running for roughly 24 hours is plenty of time...
Okay guys I need some input here.
Using Prime95, I'm sitting at mid 40's idle and up to mid 70's with 100% load. I'm thinking this is way too hot for this chip (not OC). I would think these are the temps I would get with the standard Intel cooler.
Fans are all working and aligned...
From what I've read, if you buy from the BenQ store you have a 30 day return policy, granted I don't think that means a free exchange so I think you would have to pay shipping. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

A few questions, and I apologize if this was answered in the 300 pages. I just skimmed through them.

Is there a big difference between the LG L227WTG-PF and the LG W2252TQ-TF ?
The glossy screen somewhat concerns me as I have a big windows right behind me and...
