Ok, finally got my AC Freezer 7 Pro today and got it installed. Stock temps dropped a bit for idle, but under load is where the magic happened:
Pentium D 930 @ 3.0 = 43c (Sandra Burn In: CPU MultiMedia benchmark)
Pentium D 930 @ 3.31 = 43.5c (Sandra Burn In: CPU MultiMedia benchmark)
Pentium D 930 @ 3.75 = 46c (Sandra Burn In: CPU MultiMedia benchmark)
(Reason I picked the MultiMedia benchmark, that's what heated up the CPU most)
Can't get over the 3.75 hump, probably my mobo. Anyhow, scored a better 3DMark05 with the CPU OC. I get a blue screen of death (BSOD) every time I boot much above that. Thoughts?
Comments: Uggh... my 120mm intake is right over the AC 7 pro blocking component cooling. Also, sloppy install, man I hate the "push-pins-into-mobo" scheme. AC7pro arrived with some fins bent (i know, the bottom ones are supposed to be bent), but a bit misshappen. Oh well, for $28 it's a great deal
