Finally, after many people telling me to get an aftermarket cooler, and after a month it finally came!
Well.
It took me nearly 6 hours to install it!!
At first I accidentally took out the whole CPU socket holder thing..
Then it took me many hours to realize how to -snip- put it back, and put it like it's supposed to be put. It took me almost an hour to realize how to put the thing that tightens the holder back. Then it took me 15 minutes to get the nerves to push it down all the way (Thought it would crush my cpu).
I put too much thermal paste, it came all over the place.
Then I put the goddamn heatsink wrong way
D
It was facing the top, I wanted it to aim at the back. I turned it the right way, and thermal paste went everywhere rofl.
I finally got it working, at first the pc didn't start, but that's because I put a wire into a wrong place.
Now it's standing there on a chair with the side open.
Now I'm listening to music, two mozilla tabs open and cpu-z.
The settings are quite fucked up, because the frequency keeps jumping from 3.3ghz to 3.6 ghz
Need to configure those right, that's propably because it installed some drivers after I put it on.
The temperatures are now at 33 - 35c. Don't know if that's well for semi-idling. I still need to put the side panel on (If it fits, not really alot of space left.)
Other info: I've never before disassembled a pc (took off off the motherboard and everything connected to it), and then assembled it back.
I5 2500k.
2x Gtx 560 Ti.
