I've been overclocking my fx-8120 after getting a new motherboard and I've found something in my temps. My cooler is a hyper 212 evo with 2 fans. When the case is standing up temps quickly rise to 70C in prime 95. When the case is laying flat temps never fall below 60. This could be a combination of many different issues but I'd like to hear your opinions and advice.
What I think it could be.
- Loose backplate / bracket on cooler
- Motherboard is leaning (Maybe due to standoffs not screwed in all the way)
- Not enough or poor application of thermal paste
I might as well try to fix all of the problems, but whats your guys input. If i just have to re-apply thermal paste then that would be great.
