| 847637 | 2010-01-11 03:56:00 | If the heatsink / fan came with the CPU there shouldnt be anything wrong with it. As long as its in the holes. And its connected to the CPU fan connection on the mobo. The pic I posted is the original heatsink I had for the CPU that was in this. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

That's the thing, it's in the holes, and it was going fine until last night. Cleaned everything out and it's still overheating when playing games or something |

| 847639 | 2010-01-11 04:04:00 | Have you tied the cables up YET :badpc: If you havent, now is probably a good time to tie them up. How many fans, are in the case, besides the CPU fan? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 847641 | 2010-01-11 04:54:00 | So your CPU is still at 62*C? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 847642 | 2010-01-11 05:04:00 | just wondering seeing as one of the pins was not attached to the motherboard on the cpu heatsink, would the cpu thermal paste have affixed to the cpu right? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 847643 | 2010-01-11 05:11:00 | Good point, is there any there and if so, what condition is it in? I would probably take the whole thing off and redo it just to be sure | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 847644 | 2010-01-11 05:16:00 | Might pay to remove and refit heatsink/fan assembly with fresh thermal paste (may have done what Nedkelly said) see my post #12. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 847645 | 2010-01-11 05:21:00 | Was looking through the thread and was surprised that no one else had suggested it. Only reason I thought of it was my mate had same kind of problem when he forgot to turn one of the locking pins on his cpu cooler. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
