ok, i just reseated my Zalman CPNS9500 becuase i read that when applying the thremal paste it is better just to but a dollop in the middle as obviosly that is the core of the CPU, and it worked my CPU temp dropped my about 8 degrees,
so my Athlon 3800+ is at 2.58GHz (Stock 2.41GHz) it idles at 40 degrees when at this speed and at stock speed idles around 34 degrees, i only applyed the pasted earlier today so the paste wouldnt have cured but do these temps look good?
