Mach II Temps?

[Wingz]

i've installed my Mach II (thanks tc_overclocker) but had to remount it 5 times to get a good contact. now @ 1.75v my cpu idles at -35 and load -5 (compressor at -30) is the heating element effecting the temps? with my Mach I my load was around -20.

ok now sorted...

i decided to remount the thermal bus, but this time i secured the brass bracket thing so it did not move around and now its perfect - priming @ 1.75v -24C

Secured with what, just out of interest?

just used some piece of plastic and folded up paper, basically anything i can find i just pushed them in to the gaps to stop it from moving.

Ah, well I had the same problem, the plate being very loose and had to remount the thermal bus about 3 times.
