I was playign BFBC2 and one core hit about 73 degrees and crashed.
Right now on idle it says:
CPU1 34 deg
CPU2 36
CPU3 37
CPU4 39
GPU Core: 1.39V
I would assume the cooler is on right. Kind of hard to fuck up I assumed. Thermal compound is already applied and the heatsink you just push in 4 corners tabs. I've setup tons of my own comps and never had an issue before. One thing I did notice was that my old Q6600 heatsink is like twice the size of this 2600K heatsink.
Oh well, looks like its time for an aftermarket cooler. What thermal compound is good? MX3,4,5?
I assume Arctic Silver ArctiClean cleaner is ok to clean?
And do I need a special cloth to clean the CPU off?
