My machine is really letting me down these days. once upon a time mine would run full load @ 40C while all my friends would run around about 50C idle, it was a good time
.
A couple of months ago I took off my heatsink to fit a 'better' one. im currently using the stock retail AMD heatsink and have been ever since installing this cpu, when it came to clipping the new HS I found that the clip was broken and as such it wasnt seccure so I decided to reattatch My old HS, only problem was I was all out of thermal compound, I tried my best to smooth out what was left of the compound but clearly there must have been airbubbles as my CPU now Idles at 48C - 49C (dont know full load, only just reinstalled my mobo monitor a few mins ago
)
