What is your full LOAD temp using these?

I have a whooping 80C-90C if it's full load, that's damn high! I reapplied the thermal paste three times now, and it improves on for like minus 2C-4C. Not sure if it's because the weather is hot, or my room is not really ventilated enough.

All my fans are exhaust too.

What processor are you using this on?

 

[karlsanada13]

i5-2320

It's hot. The reason I bought the cooler because one of the lock on the HSF is broken, though I believe it can still be locked (I tried), I was afraid that it might move. Is it okay to use it even though one of the lock is broken?

You are right at the TDP limit with that cooler. Go buy a Coolermaster Hyper TX3 or a Hyper 212, if your case can handle the height.

I really have a tight budget. But I might buy a Deepcool Gammaxx 300. Some of the people I know use it and have amazing temps.

Is my fan a factor, 3 of them are exhaust. Should I buy a fan for intake and put it infront?

Anyway, how do you remove the cooler's bracket? I've tried pulling it out, but it's too tight.>.>

Should have to twist then pull, if it is a push pin design.

I am not sure that this a twist and pull, I tried twisting it.

 

[logainofhades]

Wow, never seen that design before. Yea those should just pull out.

 

[karlsanada13]

The problem is, it's actually so tight I cannot pull it out. is it okay to use pliers to pull it out? This is quite frustrating. Sorry for the bother.

 

[logainofhades]

It looks like you will have to use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove them.

I doubt I have that. I'll ask my dad. Thanks for the help.
