I changed over my Tt Volcano 7+ for the standard Athlon HSF that came with the CPU and the temp when up about 20C from 40C with the Tt to 60C+ with the other HSF? How come?

You probably installed the HSF backwards - check that the cutout on the bottom of the heatsink matches up with the step on the socket.

It was installed the right way around but gave high temp????? I am back with the Tt again, despite the noise.

Na, it already had a pad thingy and the instructions said not to use paste. I haven't come across the pad thing before though.

pads arent as good as paste, but not 20C difference.

remeber tho, is is stock cooling, so dont expect better than hot.


just find a quiet fan for the volcano
