I´m quite puzzled by the fact HH recommended the Freezer 33 or Gammax 400, and I´m wondering how worser / better a Sctyhe Fuma is compared the both before.

I´m running a 2600 at 4.0Ghz and that thing outputs so much damn heat that even the scythe fuma (which i read so many good reviews) performs so underwhelming, I´m alwyas runnign at 75-90°C running stress tests.

Even gaming NFS Payback with all the eye candy 1440p after 2 hours hte cpu reaches 90°C with 1.425v.

In one hand i have a cooler which perform way below every damn review on the internet (except el chapuzas where i found a cryorig H5 having 85° C under stress and apparently the H5 is at same or better level than Fuma) and in the other hand a CPU that cannot achieve more than 4.0 Ghz without 1.47V using just auto and LLC auto which send the voltage to the sky.

Well, the Sctyhe Fuma is certainly not a 27 USD heatsink, is your ambient temperature very hot? maybe you should try a new thermal compound or a liquid cooler, your voltage is pretty high

"SLI can result in stuttery gameplay, due to poor dual GPU implementation and bad frame times"

I have had 2 x evga FTW 1070's in SLI for like 18 months and have never not to my eyes seen this at 4k and 2560. When people mention this point I always say not me ever, seriously never

I do mention 2560 because I play witcher 3 with everything turned on to max all my other games at 4k

At this point I´m just completely resigned that the cooler is either really really bad or my CPU is horny as f***.
I tried mounting the cpu outside the case to be 100% sure the base is making contact and enough pressure, during the night (was chill idk probably 15°C max) even reseated the cooler twice with 2 different thermal pastes and changing the direction of the cooler / fans.

Both attemps gave me same results, the so called "safer" spring system is a joke, simply because the screw have a short threaded lenght and they will never go further down enough to make use of the spring system.

Basically i had to screw so tight (as i would be a mechanic) the base, in order to be sure have "less" space between the base and CPU and the screws would apply more pressure, nothing changed.

So I´m here with a glorified 1Kg of cooper / aluminium and stuck at 4.0Ghz because not even my CPU loves me and i got bad luck because simply will not reached 4.2Ghz unless tha auto system decide to throw 1.475V

YAY!!
