CPU problems
I have a pentium 4 3.2ghz 640 in an asus P5AD2-E mobo with an Arctic cooling freezer 7 fan, and arctic silver thermal compound. I have 4 intake fans and 2 exhaust fans. My ambient motherboard temp stays at a constant 30-34 degrees Celsius, but my CPU jumps from 50 to a high of 77degrees celsius. It isn't overclocked at all.
I checked my cpu fan to make sure it was seated properly, made sure there wasn't anything blocking airflow around that area, but my CPU still stays around 75c under load. Any ideas? Also, how much thermal compound should I use? I put about a pea sized amount on the top of the processor. I don't see why it should be running so hot. Even my graphics card runs a lot cooler.
Uhh...followed suggestions, check below for brand new problems.
