Topic: Read if your Neptune is running below 3.4TH (Read 1326 times)
I think they designed the fan on the side so that it would cool the other components besides the main processor. If those components get hot the unit could fail. A push pull would work but would create more noise.
I don´t have a red diploma from physics, but I would also recomend to fit fan right to heatsink somehow (if possible), as it will better maintain air flow directly throught it instead of blowing on it.
Damn dude, you're living up to your Avatar pic of Chevy Chase as the doctor.
1/4 of you Neptunes were pasted incorrectly? Either that or they did not tolerate shipping well.

aight
If your neptune is running below 3.4TH you need to put better thermal grease on the boxes that are running slow. Check the dies and see which ones are not working. I use a amp tester to see which Neptunes are pulling low amps.
1) Start with your Neptune that is running slow. Unscrew the 6 torx screws on the case and remove the lid.
2) Unscrew the 3 torx screws holding down the heatsink.
3) Remove the crap thermal grease with a paper towel.
4) Apply some Diamond IC Thermal Grease
Put the heatsink back on and spread it around and then screw everything back together.
Out of 50 Neptune boxes I have had to do this on 12 of them. They are all working perfectly now.
