2 hd and the mobo is a MSI neo 2 865 chip for fsb up tp 800 and unfortunatly after trying 4 diff h/s fans my temp is idle at 44 and u/load at 58 / 60 any advice pls on what is going on ???
The cpu is not O/V

Did you put a very thin layer of paste, or a thicker layer?
And, not to insult your intelligence, but the fan is blowing in, not out, correct?

[|nVerteŠ]

Well the paste is like paper thick and yes fan is blowing in lmao .

[jmebonner]

Well, I'm out of ideas, good luck! Someone here will have another idea.

it's not just a "paper thin" amount you need to worry about. It can (and should) be thicker than that, not much more, make sure there aren't any spots in the middle where maybe the heatsink was slid across and there's only traces of the compound.

Is your board running hot or your processor? It's confused by the thread title. Besides from that, whats the environment like around your PC? If the environment is hot then your gonna have hard time lowering temps. If the comp is in a cabinet or something you don't have airflow for the fans.


P.S. - IMO MSI is a bad board. They burned me too many times.

Ok pc its by the desk so the area is pretty open with fan blowing air in that area , my temps righ now just be on line are cpu 50 sys 39 nb 45 as soon as i play any game cpu temp goes 58 - 61 c
Compoud i tried diff lay of thickness from more to less same pretty much resolts and it was evenly spread it ...
not sure wasup

Do you have any issues with stabliity?
Maybe the temperatures sensors on the board could be screwed up?
Wishful thinking but it just doesnt seem possible they would be that high.

anyone else have ideas?

[|nVerteŠ]

Noo not really but honestly i can feel the hot air coming out from pc im just worry that eventually it can burn the cpu you know??
