    Calling all R3 owners. Do any of you have a 3 pipe CPU heatsink?

    No my temps are decent. I can keep them under 100C when doing a wPrime 1024m run. Normally, I don't max over 80C. I have looked into a cooler. Targus HD3 Gaming Chill Matt looks nice. Minimalist :)

    i made do yourself stands with some stuff i got from the dollar store.

    Or if you have $1.50 (shipped)...you can always get these:

    you have the back raised up right?

    I always liked that chillmat, but i don't know if it will do any better than just having the back raised up
