I just setup my TB 850 on asus A7V133a no O/C yet. I have a cheap little Chrome Orb HS/Fan stuck to the CPU. For some reason, lord knows why, the thing is running at 59-61 C all the time! I have a new Taisol HSF on the way but I'm worried that the CPU might be prone to run hot.
I took the Orb off and polished the surface, I used Heatsink thermal grease (Radio Shack special) and that brought the load temp clear down to 60C. I thought of trying KY gelly but that only works on my wife. I'm hoping the new heatsink will cool it down, I KNOW it shouldn't run that hot! 60c is in the operating spec but from what I've read that's way too high for comfort.
Does anyone see this on their CPU? Cooling advice? Thanks.
