I am getting temps of 38-39c and around 45c while playing UT2K4...
Now, i've heard of people here getting 25c idle or less??!!? wtf??
I'm using arctic silver 5 and a zalman 9500, and i've removed, cleaned (with arctic silver cleaner no less), and replaced the AS5 and HSF 4 times now, and i can't get my temps lower. ?!?!!?
*sigh* is there any special thing i'm missing here? The problem i keep running into is dropping the HSF evenly onto the CPU, it's difficult placing it exactly correct when i seat it the first time.
Is there any magical thing i'm missing here? How come I can't get my temps lower?
(btw i'm using an intel 975xbx board)
should i keep trying to remount this damn thing or is 39c idle/45c load good enough? *i do not plan on OCing*
