Yeah I knew it was a couple of weeks or so...didnt know it could take up to 400 hours!
Cheers : ) Tems are OK anyway as long as I dont stress test. Gaming I hit 50 degrees, max (all high settings) after a couple of hours. Idle temp = 33-36 degrees.

Pretty much all coolers beside the stock cooler will require a backplate to be installed though.
Well its been awhile since we talked about this, and alot of reviews are out. It seems to be a very good package for the price point if your planning on running a mild overclock, or stock voltages. It looks great and seems to be a snap to install, and fairly quiet. So I was just wondering if anyone has tried it yet?

Okay this is just me.. But i noticed the 6-8 screws that were sticking out on the actual block where it is supposed to come in contact with the CPU? Does this NOT make for a bad none flat service? I mean come on im sure they are screwing it all up with that.. Some not screwed down all the way some sticking out more then others. Oh and lets not forget handy dandy mass production rules... Touch a screw and its insta striped... Idk if im missing something correct me if im wrong... It just looks bad.... In need of some serious work before i would even consider putting that on my rig..

Are you saying that because you have one, or going base on the pictures? Screws look flush or counter-sunk to me.
I noticed the H60 was coming to light about the time I bought my H70. I was happy with the H70 and the cooling performance it gave for being such a small package. I had a 120 outside the case and the other inside directly on the rad [push (outside fan)/pull (inside fan)] and it did great. By putting one fan external the case that allowed for a filter attached, and gave more room internally. So that was a plus. OC's were upto 4.9ghz and within reasonable temps (fans on max) Prime 95 killed it every time though. So I used LinX instead. I don't think Windows 7/64 and prime get along too well.
Since then, my H70 went back in the box it arrived in, as I went with a full loop.

Yes im going by pictures... and there is a difference between "Pretty Flush" And flush... First off where there are Philips head screws there is air. Where there is air there is no contact with the CPU... Second There is a difference between a MASS PRODUCTION and a display model... I mean when i watch Mcdonalds commercials and then head to mcdonalds buy the same sandwich as i had seen on tv they look NOTHING alike... Same kind of common since im using here... Its just me to be honest and it looks like they are put in place around the CPU and where its supposed to be placed on the block... Again just me i like a flat service i can put my cpu to... And the Flatter the better.

If manufacturers just used a little more sense in the design areas, or better yet, actually listened to customer feedback (oh wait a minute, that would mean one of their engineers would have to actually read forum comments. That must never happen!!) then they might see the light when it comes to a design that actually works as proficiently as it could. Granted the cost may increase on the consumer end, but customer input is always a good thing.
As for the screws, agreed. Then again, thermal paste should fill those counter-sunk areas.
Speaking of H60's, someone might be interested in this one on ebay

I was thinking thermal past to. BUT you would never know if you have a proper seal. Because you would have to apply more i guess you could spread it over them? idk i just personally have never seen them on the backside like that... Its kind of like a "Hey bob do you think we should maybe change that?" kind of thing...
All though they do look like they are kind of around the cpu. the inner four are shifted to the outside more.. But still i would have to see how big the bottom actually is.
