Hello,
I recently got a new cpu to replace my old one and because my mother board only has a FM2 socket I went for one of the best cpus that fit a FM2 socket which is the AMD A10-6800K (I think its the best one?) , along with that I purchased this thermal paste.
After installing the new cpu correctly, putting on the thermal paste etc everything went fine and I decided to look at what temperature the cpu was running at since I wanted to only use the fan that it comes with, baring in mind I have nothing open just my desk top to my surprise it was at 70-80+ degrees. So I thought maybe I've done something wrong so I took the new cpu out again removed the old paste from everything and did the same again and left it for awhile and I was still getting the same temperatures.
I played a bit of battlefield just to test it and it bumped up to over 100 degrees.
If anyone could suggest why its doing this, I mean surely with the stock fan it still shouldn't be at though kind of temperatures and I even bumped up the fan speed to 600 rpm which had little effect. If anyone could help me out It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Hem.
