[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 622568, member: 7463"] You still need the grease!!!!! Miguel- you are like me, not an overclocker and a silence lover. With that heatsink and a Scythe fan (and using the paste I recommend), my core CPU temps are about 30C. Although I am using an Intel Xeon CPU (which runs natively cooler), you should see similar results. Just make sure you have Back-to-front airflow in your case. Also, unless it is in the middle of the night (and snowing) I can't hear my system at all (although you have to decouple your traditional hard drive from the case and lay it on coolpak to stop vibrations! By coolpak I mean something like this: [URL="http://www.nortechlabs.com/instant-cold-packs.html"]Instant Cold Packs / Ice Packs - Nortech Labs, Inc[/URL]). [/QUOTE]
