Surely the Thinkmate configuration you're talking about has some kind of wind "tunnel" where the case fan actually pulls air across and through the heatsink. | |

| Feb 5, 2015 at 8:25 | comment | added | Tetsujin | cooler's only good to 150w, that CPU can pull 350 under load. Agree with @Ramhound it would be better off with a stock cooler. | |
| Feb 5, 2015 at 3:58 | comment | added | Ramhound | Sounds like the heatsink isn't going to do the job. No; Its not usual your better of using the stock fan | |
