How have you had the EVGA Superclock for 4 months? Or are you using a Switftech Polaris?

 
Quite possibly. I didn't think the EVGA version was out that long.
 
My temps are as follows for the Swiftech Polaris120 (very similar cooler)

I didn't realize this was for the EVGA Superclock only. I thought this was a general thread of your temps and OC. I'm using Megashadows with two Delta fans at 3700 RPM

ya EVGA never said the cooler came with Frostbite and it was confirmed EVGA Staff but i cant seem to find the post atm. please also change mine to mystery paste lol

Yeah the coolers don't ship with frostbite

load temps tested with IBT2.51 - 8 rounds in max stress mode with closed case (up to 5-10C difference when I open it up hehe). All depends on what problem to solve the IBT picks for the test (it varies from test to test), sometimes 1 round will take 2:30mins (8GB RAM), some other times it will take 3:20mins (also 8GB RAM) to complete it at same settings (max stress mode)... hard to compare such results, as under load temps vary too ...
 
my ambient room temps are around 28C/83F on average and my case doesn't have the best intake-exhaust flow despite using 1,900rpm scythe slipstream fans...
 
EDIT:
I think we all should note the ambient room temp at the moment the test starts, also Mother Board temp could be helpful in determining ambient in-case temps before the test starts.
some people have like 13C ambient room temp and super strong cooling in cases, while folks like me live in hot apartments with almost 30C ambient and around 40C MB temps...
 
And lastly we should be using the same stress tester with same settings, e.g. LinX with same Problem size (not sure which is best) parameter or using max available (minus 300MB) of RAM , 10 rounds (for some it will be 30 mins, for others it will be 2 hours...)
 
IBT is not a good choice actually as it tends to vary the linpack libraries (or problem sizes) based on currently available memory from test to test which skews the load temps kinds like +/-5C sometimes. We need something repeatable...

decided to put the cpu cooler fan on smart setting in bios... 40dB all the time is a bit too loud to my ear
 
with smart fan setting it runs at 1,600rpm below 60C (on CPU per BIOS), above that it runs at full speed 2,500rpm
 
it affects my idle temps, now ~ 50C (vs 45-47C at 100%)

Ran Prime 95 for 45mins & intel Burnin test producing same results. Kudo's!

that are temps in closed CM 690 II while folding bigadv on cpu and one gpu client (gtx460 fpb) with original fan @ ~1700 rpm

I must be doing something wrong. 
i7-920 3.8Ghz Vcore 1.247 realtemp 78/76/76/74 using ICD(2 months)
Cooler is in the open, no case. Ambient 86 F.
It seems to be doing much worse than my Frio with the lowest fan speeds. And I've remounted it. Idle temps are higher too.  Maybe if I added a pull fan then it'll drop?

21x134 HT OFF 52 48 51 48 Frio HIGH
21x134 HT OFF 54 51 53 50 Frio LOW
19x201 HT ON  73 70 70 68 Frio HIGH
19x201 HT ON  77 75 75 73 Frio LOW
19x201 HT ON  78 76 76 74 EVGA HIGH

Got it mounted on the right side blowing out near an exhaust fan? Idle CPU temps for me now sense i greased it properly. I forgot what temps i was getting out bt sense i switched afew fans around it's been A LOT cooler even with my room around 78'F.
 
Did you also fill the holes between the heat pipes? If not you'll prob want to. I used that idea from Artic Silver's website.
 
 
YEP Idle at 4.2GHz the CPU remains a cool 33/34'C
At 4.2GHz doing the Intel Burn in test the CPU sits at 69'C

Imo, I use a layer on the bottom of HDT coolers and swipe it off to fill the seems between the pipes and base (like bondo).  Then apply the TIM with a thin line perpendicular to the heatpipes, then seat the cooler normally.  Seems to get the best coverage, imo.  Not sure if anybody else uses this method.
