hello,
I recently assembled a new system, and have been having problems with my CPU temperature. It will reach 58C under load (just a game, not stress testing). However, when the CPU is throttled under idle conditions using intel speedstep, the temp goes as low as 29C.
The problems maybe due to something I noticed when I came to install the (intel stock) cooler. I saw that the arctic silver 5 paste I applied looked a lot thinner than normal, and seemed to have a lot of fluid in it.
In addition, when I installed the cooler, the first push pin went in fine, however, I heard no clicks when pushing in the other 3. Looking at the back of the motherboard, I found that the little black male part of the push pin was not as far "in" on two of the pins as the others. Is the cooler seated correctly?
