| 746008 | 2009-02-09 03:29:00 | any thermal paste should be ok if everything is stock. If the temperatures you're seeing are correct it is way too high. I would suggest the heatsink was not on correctly or the paste poorly applied, but generally it's hard to muck up the installation of the latest inTel coolers. Have you googled your motherboard model for problems with the temperature settings, or checked the manufacturers FAQ file ? sometimes a bios update can fix such problems. If the pc is new or still under warranty and purchased as a whole machine, go back to your supplier and see if they can help. as a reference I have a 2.5G quad core ( Q9300 ) in a small cube style case and it runs at 25-35 degrees when browsing the net etc and never exceeds the high 40's even under load ( DivX encoding, 3D gaming etc ) I have an intel board and am confident the readings are at least in the right ballpark. I personally use the speedfan utility to monitor temps on my pc's |

| 746009 | 2009-02-14 04:34:00 | I got Arctic Silver, what a gem. I am now doing 25 degrees doing boot up and admin and when I fired up 3D Marks 06, it went up to 33% but for some reasons dunno why but 3D Marks don't work on PC anymore, I did change nvidia to ATI and I uninstalled 3D Marks and reinstalled it. Still no go. |
