Hey guys, it's my first post here...
Well, I'm with temp. issues, and I'm trying to figure out what is the problem.
According to my processor sheet, the ideal temperature is below 62°C, but it has already reached 70°C. So, facing this, I just replaced the thermal compound - something I didn't do since I got this rig. I used MX-4, using the Pea method, but 'till now (10 minutes after replacing it and turning it on), the temperatures haven't changed.
Isn't the temps meant to change right away? Do I need to wait a little more for it to set?
Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.2GHz
16GB DDR3 1333MHz (Dual Channel)
EVGA GTX 460 1GB
Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4
SATA II Seagate 500GB 7200RPM
Thanks!
