Here's a simple explanation. I have a Asus Crosshair III Formula Motherboard and a Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme. What I want to know is if these two are compatible with each other ( weight issues etc ). Also I want to ask how much this cooler will lower the temperature over a stock cooler. CPU sits idle at 40°C Northbridge and Southbridge also at 40°C Motherboard ( I guess average ) at 25°C
You have the cooler or thinking about buying it? i if you have it do your own tests for cooling but yes the mobo will be fine with weight
Can't say for sure how much lower temps you will get (every setup is different), but any after market cooler will give u better idle, and load temps then the stock amd one, if fitted correctly.
