no, im certain that im reading temps at the right place. in fact, im reading the highest temps on the motor. places near the fan or on the heatsink is just about 115 degrees.
when i got the 7xl, my intentions were to use that motor for the meantime untill the castle neus came out. the medusa's were not even heard of or at least i didnt hear of them at the moment. or i would have gotten that, because the 7xl with the heatsink and fan would have costed the same amount as the medusa. oh well, i think with my current results, i maybe keeping this fan untill it dies. im loving the cool temps, and no breaks with a cheapo motor thats giving me 44 mph.
