Hey all,
After getting a Coolermaster Jet 7+ from a friend, which is apparently a very good cooler, im still running temperatures around 55 degree's celcius idle, and around 60 under full load.
I applied thermal paste that was reused from the stock cooler, of which we applied brand new thermal paste like a day earlier. However, can this still cause the processor to run hot? Its only been used a day.....
Im also getting worried that this Jet 7+ is WWAAAYYY to heavy, and will eventually cause mobo damage. So, im thinking of getting an Aero 7 Lite, which is the same sort of design, but lighter. Ill make sure that i'll apply arctic silver this time, brand new.
Anyway, my main concern is, why is the processor still running hot? The location of my case is not in the best of positions, as it is in a compartment that is built for towers, however, due to the cheap nature of this computer desk, i dont think it offers a great deal of air flow (being enclosed).
