With the stock cooler the idle temperature was 79C and rise rapidly to 81C. Now the temperature is 78C and it stays at this tempearture when idle. I never felt the stock cooler but i replaced it because i dont have much airflow (only the 2 12cm fans at the slowest speed) I now have replaced it with the thermalright.

I use the same setup with the original fans at the slowest speed. Idle temperature of the NB seems about 80C. Googled a bit but it seems that the mods have not much result, temperature wise. Would be great if you can pass us the results. Nice setup!

Any programs I should use for stress-testing the CPU /GPU. I have CPU-burn but don't know how to test the GPU/NB. Is the "Test Custom Clocks" under "ATI Overdrive" in "Catalyst Control Center" enough for stress-testing purpose?

I was looking for this kind of "review" of this specific combo (motherboard, Mini ninja, TR HR-05) for ages. I accidently came accross your blog and was very glad to find all the pics and details. Thanks alot! Thanks to you I know all components can fit inside the Fusion, which was my big worry. Somehow I could't find a single website that confirmed that they all can live together happily. regarding the temps, I use SpeedFan as well. Currently with the original HS fot the NB and original CPU HS\fan, I have a reading of 40 degrees for the CPU (55@max load, e.g. playing HD movies) and 83 for the NB (95-100@max load). I will be happy to find out what reading do you get... Hi there.

I think temp3 shown on the main page is the northbridge. Mine runs at around 80 idle..

I haven't recorded any temperature readings. I just know that the Northbridge is quite cool to the touch. Of course that could be because of bad thermal compound assembly but I think I did a good job on that. I guess only time will tell if this was a good mod or not (I have read that there have been several RMA's because of heat issues) Maybe later I'll try to overclock, but I'm not really in to that kinda thing, since I got the opinion that there's a reason that the chip is at it's present speed.. ..kinda like a "don't fix it if it ain't broken"-policy. If anyone can link me to a program and/or guide that can make me a readout of the temperature in less than five minutes I might try it..
