Hi.
Today my PSU came today, and was finally able to start my computer.
When i got into the BIOS, i saw that the CPU (at 3.7 GHz, 4 cores) was at around
75 degrees Celsius (•c), however when the fan is running at its max, it hovers between 62 and 66 degrees Celsius. My CPU is an
AMD Athlon 4x 860K (3.7 GHz, Quad core)
I looked at the CPU after seeing these temps, i saw the thermal paste was spread well and looked fine, same for the Heat Sink, but i did notice the heat sink's fins (aluminium) had thermal paste, meaning the big solid block of aluminium t the bottom, wasn't big enough for the CPU.
can anyone help?!
also, i touched the head sink when the computer was on for about 10 mins, the metal was very hot, i was able to keep my finger on it for about 25 second before it started to burn.
