What temperatures are you achieving?

Try Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and tell me the temperatures after that. Are you controlling the fans manually or are they connected to the cooler?

I'm not going to use voice chat as of this time. My username is the same as my username on here.

Please? Because typing on forums is not the most efficiant way.

1. A 212 will be hotter consistently.

2. A 212 will be noisier consistently.

(assuming both were installed correctly)

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Either you don't have enough pressure on the CPU when the cooler was mounted, or the chip itself just has a terrible interface with the IHS. What were your temps before the X61?
