New mugen 2 user; I'm sure it's a great cooler, but in my case...

[LfmC]

Mugen 2 rev.2 user here. Bought it 2 days ago, installed it yesterday. Idle temps are around 45C, load temps around 72C. I used the thermal paste supplied with the mugen 2 and took great care to create a thin layer on the CPU. Should I buy a better quality thermal paste? Why are my temps so high?

Also, is there any significant difference in cooling when placing the 120mm fan to another side? Right now I have the fan set up as instructed in the manual, but my Corsair DDR3 ram is blocked by the cooler, forcing me to use dual channel instead of triple channel ram

CPU: i7 930 (3,8GHz)
MB: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
RAM: 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Corsair
PSU: Corsair VX450W
CASE: NZXT Hush

When you put another fan on the other side temps drop by 1-3ºC depending on the fan.
