What an afternoon having received some MX2 I thought I'd try it out on my Black edition. So removed freezer 64 clean off tim with akasa tim cleaner replace with MX2 reapply freezer 64, connect and turn on power.
Boots in to windows start asus prob cpu temp 65 C, Reach for the power turn off pc.
restart go into bois yep 65 C shown there as well overheat alarm starts as we reach 75 pc turns itself off.
Repeat remove clean reapply. Some thing happens. Repeat until pc no longer boots.
Several hours latter give up and put in my athlon 4600 works first time temp 33 c under full load with two prime 95s.
So could of the cleaner got under the heat spreader and damaged the tim under there?
What else could have gone wrong?
Now Birthday next month so do I
option 1 go for another 5000 Black edition or 6400 BE
or
option 2 pick up a phemon (may be the Black edition)
What do you think?
