Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, up pops an Alien

So you're happy with your AF64 then? As for my temps, it seems without the duct the temps have gone up, more so now I've regreased the CPU, think I hit 60Ã‚Â°C and the fan was hitting 6000RPM, previous with stock cooler was 5600RPM and temps about 55-60Ã‚Â°C and with duct CPU about 40-43Ã‚Â°C and 4000RPM on the fan! Not sure the AS II my mate has is still useable, it's well over 4 years old prolly more! Not done anything different from greasing previous CPU's, have done about 25-30 or so for me and friends and not had a CPU pop yet! Maybe his ASII is past it's use by date?

I'll order the AF cooler and see what happens then! Should I buy some OCZ 5+ paste as Ebuyer sells that, might as well get both from same place and regrease the AF64, or just use the gunk that comes on it?
