I believe my CPU is running at 56 degrees C
I nudged the heat sink the other day and since then the computer has been "not responding" programs and running sluggish even when opening simple things like "my computer"
Should i reset it with some fresh thermal compound, will this fix the issue.
Its an old build with recent-ish CPU PSU and GPU.
Phenom II quad (not overclocked)
6gb ocz ram
asus mobo
700W PSU
ATI GPU
and an ancient 150gb veloci-raptor X HDD
not looking for in depth answer nor can i be bothered to post a mass of information and reports. i just have a hunch that this is causing the CPU to overheat and slooooooow down.
Thanks
