Can someone please link me to a good mounting tutorial for TRUE 120 eXtreme? I mounted it with backplate and Thermal Paste which came with it and temps are horrible. I'm sure it must be some mounting error. Idle: 44, Load: (Don't ask please) 
. I'm a full on noob at this thing.
Plus, I have not installed any fan, not lapped/modded it and most importantly, mounted it vertically.

1. Which paste you used.
2. How did you apply the paste.
Did you tighten the nuts...really tight. Till you felt it was secure, and firm. What are you non-OC temps..?

congrats on ur purchase ! cheers
use thermal paste like MX2 or Arctic silver 5 , also consider Cooler master Fusion 400
@ Krow - Congrats..I think you used the paste comes with the cooler ie Thermalright The Chill Factor 2 ? BTW, is it the copper edition cooler or TRUE extreme black ?
BTW, as asigh has told you you should tighten the nuts rightly. BTW, consult the manual for proper installation tips. The amount thermalpaste should be like 2 small rice grains.
BTW, search youtube and you might find some good installation videos

@ asigh Thermalright Chill Factor which came with the pack. Applied it like I apply toothpaste on my brush. I think I applied a bit too much and then spread it all over my CPU and the base of the TRUE. Applied it on the center only. Spread it with a plastic card that came with the Cooler Master "High Performance" Thermal Compound Kit that I had bought earlier. It didn't spread too well on the CPU, but looked decent on the base of the TRUE. Temps are non OC (that's why I'm worried). Tightened screws full at first, but then saw that my board was bending. Hence I loosened them a bit. Did not boot with the bent board.
@ damngoodman999 Thanks mate.
@ topgear The manual is a bit less detailed as compared to what I wanted it to be, but I installed consulting from there only. I'll look up youtube and apply the paste as you suggested.

@Syaddi:
115C........???????
How the heck is that possible, with a Hyper 212..? Your CPU is overheating and throttling and then shutting down, to save its self.
Bring your system back to all defaults. And please post a screen shot of a RealTEMP run.
Try not to stress your system -- stop gaming. Also you can refer to what I am telling Mr. Krow below.
@Krow:
Good, that you noticed the bent board. Remove the HSF. Clean all the contact surfaces using isopropyl alcohol on a slight damp cloth.
Then put a few drops of the TIM on the CPU head, and spread it thinly. Make sure it evenly covers the surface. Use an old credit card or something, then secure on the HSF.
Understand the reason for using TIM:
The HSF and CPU contact surfaces mate perfectly -- well almost. A few air gaps are retained. To eliminate a thin air layer --- very thin layer of the TIM is applied. That is about it. So when you apply the TIM imagine: You have the substitute a thin layer of air with TIM, try to apply that much. Toothpaste amount is WAY to much. But nevertheless, you can easily correct it. The danger is, if the TIM overflows into the side socket area, it will cause a short circuit, since TIM is conductive...........!

Spreading the TIM fully over the CPU brings better results than pee method 0r rice grain method
@ Krow
the thermal paste spread all over the cpu , was it there ?? wat about the fans do u fitted fans in the TRUE ??

That is what I suggested too. Told the person, to evenly spread it using a thin card, but too keep the layer, thin as possible. It is used just to eliminate the air.

u r right !! which TIM r u using ??

I spread the paste well the second time, first time applied toooooooo much, second time as much as 1.5 rice grains and spread very well. Without fan, idle temp 43-46 and load temp 79and going above.
With my HDD fan CM 120mm 90CFM 2000rpm, idle=38-42 and load = 55 after 15 minutes prime95.
Gotta get a fan it seems. Recommendations? Looking at the Silverstone 110 CFM fan with controller for 750 bucks.
Thanks for all replies and patience.

I use CoolerMaster Fusion. It does not have a settle in period.

Yea, they seem good now. Do an OCCT burn now....!

cooler master CFM90 2000RPM fan is enough , also post ur CPU-Z hardware monitor screen shots for core temps !!

yes update ur system config in SIGNATURE
Hey dont enable Cool & Quiet in the bios , the sensors will not detect correctly - if u overclock the C&Q automatically disables it .
then the sensor will not detect correctly , check the power option in the Control panel if XP keep it desktop computer / windows 7 means balanced power
dont keep it in minimal power configuration
