First let me tell you my setup.
-A10-5800K
-F2A88X-D3H
-Stock cooler
-Manhattan CPU Thermal Compound
Ok. So I was using the stock CPU cooler and the paste came pre-applied, it worked fine for 2 weeks then all of a sudden my temps doubled and hit all the way up to 100°C... Another time when the heat was spiking from 60°C-80°C I went to check my heatsink to see if it was even hot. It was pretty cool.
So I went out to my cruddy local office/PC shop and picked up some temporary thermal paste (waiting til payday to get some Noctua NT-H1) and applied it, After applying it the temps skyrocketed and for the first time my PC restarted due to heat I'm assuming, went into BIOS and yes my temp was constantly rising, I had turned it off at 80°C. I feel I may have used to much, about 90% of the surface area is covered but the heatsink is actually having heat transferred to it very well!
Am I using to much thermal paste or is the paste of very low quality???
