Hmm nvm u were right. Something with the heatsink wasnt right. One of the clips was not tight plus i applied some more artic silver 5 now its a lil better. 35-45 IDLE and can goes up to 70 max. It was going up to 80's before .. a lil scary
no im not overclocking and i think i put the right amount.. The heatsink is on correctly i dont see how any other way to put it on. my comps always been like this, maybe a little bit cooler. Stock heatsink + amd athlon = high temp
ive already applied articsilver 5 maybe 3 weeks ago.... the stock heatsink isnt just doing it. my idle temps are at 50's and goes up to 75+c playing cs... owch
Right now im using stock heatsink for my amd 3000+ @ 2.1gh and my temps are pretty ridiculous. Im gonna buy a volcano 12 but my heatsink and the powersupply are very close i dont think it will fit. Im not gonna buy a new case ... what could i do? Could i unscrew the power supply and put it...
