they will be here tomorrow...


I might be applying the thermal compound like a moron though. I have done my best to follow the steps on Arctic Silvers website

Is there a morons guide to thermal compound?
 
No, that's correct too. That's what I do, because putting the heatsink on the grain of AS5, will just spread it.

yeah, I was going to say, Arctic silver says to just put a drop, if that was wrong ...(scratches head) I'm going to try the credit card method anyway as the other way just ain't working ....
 
try updating the bios on your mobo.
my old abit said my 3600 was idliing at 60*c
obviously it wasnt, cos it still works.



My MB has the latest BIOS:confused: :confused:

Can a hot CPU have a negative impact on system performance? and on the flip side, can a super cool CPU run faster?
