I applied A5 paste and still at 60*c at idle. i ordered a new heatsink Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler - Retail i still havent installed it but do you guys have any other suggestions as well?
60*c? that's some heat there! I'd certainly do something like [1] reset the CMOS (just in case some old BIOS settings are causing trouble) [2]remove the heatsink [3] clean the heatsink and the CPU from the paste [4] remove and reinstall the CPU [5] apply heat-paste (maybe try some other paste) very carefully (since too much paste, as we all know, *might* work as a heat-shield rather than a heat transporter). but man, 60*c .. jeez
yep do what he says... BTW Intel's default heatsinks are (usually) crap... get a good one like an arctic.
