I saw a post the other day about temps and performance wasn't good, so thought I would post what temperatures I'm getting right now with it.
AS5 has been on about 6 months now.

I have it Lapped and useing Arctic Silver 5

Room temp 15c

CPU: 24c idle
Load: 38c

So far this heatsink has been ok for me, I have found it better then stock and the Tt pipe 101. Yes there are better hsf out there but so far this one has done the job ok for me.

Yeah one other thing when I brought it I wasn’t impressed with the finish of the base had a lot of machining marks left on it.
Not saying the Tt gear is [content edited] but I don't know if I would buy it again.
