It's been 30min since I took out my stock hsf and installed a new ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro. I'm so mad right now! There is no difference in my pc temps!
With stock, I was idled at 38c to 43c. Right now I'm at 44c with the new hsf. WTF! I was expecting idle of say...31c-36c. Oh, and that's not even the bad part. I try to run Orthos and withing 20 sec I get the "fatal errors" warning.
Ok, I went back took out my mb, wiped the cpu and hsf clean of thermal paste and reapplied less(I did the grain of rice thing), reseated my hsf....and same da..mn results. Idles at 44c and can't even run Orthos for a minute.
I'm oc'd to 3.45ghz.
BTW, I used arctic silver 5.
Very very disappointed!
