Hey everyone, i just bought a corsair h70 and im asking for some feedback, on the qulity, and just what you think, also should i use the stock thermal paste or my artic mx 2 paste?

the h70 is a bit worse then most high end air coolers. the best thing about it is the corsair warranty. I'm pretty sure Arctic Silver 5 is the TIM of choice

so it will be worse than my hyper 212 plus?

I don't think it's worse, if anything its marginally better... just it's doubtful you'll notice much difference... here is a review pitting the h70 vs the 212+

The h70 is slightly better under load then the 212+

Also im getting it for space, because the hyper212 is big with 2 fans

yeah. i have an h100, and the space i saved is amazing. even though my case isn't even built for a 240mm rad, i still was able to mount it, and man... does it open up the case a bit. I'm able to keep the mosfets a lot cooler now.

What mobo are you using, and what are your vcore temps, because mine are always higher than my cpu

i'm rolling with an Asus m4a78t-e; heatsinks on everything... pretty solid board actually. currently my socket temp is reported at 37C, and the core temps are reported at 38C. (28C ambient atm)

Ive got an asus sabertooth 990 fx r 2.0, and an amd fx 8320 O.C. to 4.0 ghz, but when under load, thisis with my hyper212 plus, im hitting like 55 C, and my v core is at like 58-59. should i be worried?

under a prime95 load i get up to 52C, but i wouldn't be too concerned. FX cpus have a slightly higher thermal ceiling then PhII do... most PhII get unstable over 55C (mine can't really get over 58C without crashing), FX chips are usually alright up to 62C.
