Why don't you replace that case fan you took of when you installed w/c?
Grrr as i just told you on msn, i just did
Lol, so you did
Did that fix it?
PHP Code:$s = new signature();

Nope, Still running like 4x as hot as before.
Is it possible that you could have nudged the heatsink so it's now in better contact with the NB?
Hmm, possible. But wouldnt it have burnt out before if it wasnt in contact with the h/s?
Not necessarily. Remember some NB don't have heatsinks at all, and if it was in partial contact it could have kept it within acceptable limits. Chipsets are generally much more tolerant of poorly fitted heatsinks than CPU's are. Does your PC still run OK?
Pc runs stable. Just dont like a component to run too hot to touch.
It was probably getting some airflow before due to the air shifted by the CPU fan & now isn't?
Yea thats certainly true. Have an 80mm fan blowing air onto it now. Should be alright if its stable?
