hey everybody, i got some problems
first off, i have an asus mobo ... thats a problem in itself, but thats not the main problem
my cpu is overheating for some reason, its like ... 63 deg idle..and thats with case side panel OFF. have like .. 3 80 mm fans inside and the psupply has 1 80mm and 1 120 mm.
cpu is amd 2800+ xp barton core
it had the retail boxed fan and sink that came with it.. now .. i have an extra volcano 7+ sitting around, so im going to install that one instead of retail.. i have a BUNCH a questions about installation process....
1. How do i remove the hardened thermal paste? any instructions will help
2. How much thermal paste should i apply? on the processor or on the heatsink?
3. I heard something about twisting it 1 degree 1 way and another the other way to clean out air bubbles in the thermal paste, is this true ?
4. Could the mobo cause the overheat? it in itself isnt overheating, just the CPU
5. if i cant stop the overheating problem, i might end up buying a new CPU /mobo(not ASUS those sunsa...) whats better Athlon 64 3500+ (939) or pentium 4 3.4 GHZ 800mhz 1meg cache? also, which one creates more heat?
thank you very much for all your input
