70C Stock E6600
Last response: in CPUs
Just finished building up a new computer with a EVGA 680i motherboard, E6600, Scythe Ninja Rev B heatsink, Arctic Silver 5, all in an Antec P180.
On boot the bios start out showing around 50C then slowly rise until sitting around 70C. Everything is brand new and the heatsink fins and heatpipes are cool to the touch. I booted up windows and within probably 10 minutes of updating drives the computer shuts off without warning. I want to think its the heatsink not getting good contact but dont want to rip the entire computer apart on a bad assumption.
Any ideas?

Reseat heatsink/fan ensure its "clean".

There is a specific way to apply AS5 to Core 2's that differ from most other CPU's. Did you use this method?I applied it just like the instructions on thier website. Those may have been for Pentium D's though. I put on a very small line down the center then spread it around with a plastic bag. What is so special about applying it to a Core 2?

Apparently when most people with the same problem as you tried this method it yielded better temperature results.

So are you saying I did apply it right? Should I still try doing it over again?
I have the p180b and that is basically the same case (black) it is very cool, but I think I know your problem. AMD has something called cool n' quiet. Intel tried to copy it, bu instead of slowly the processsor, is slows the fan until the proceesor reaches about 70* or so, bheck in the bios to so if that is on, because for intel processors you should have that off (atleast that was how it was with the pentium d series) I don't know the exact name of the program, probably Dasickninja does (I have an two AMD system builds)
Word, Playa.
Whew Had No Idea!

Hmm. Thinking about it Im not sure exactly how thick it was. Would too thick of a layer really make it run that hot under barely any load though?Edit: Whats best to remove AS5? Isopropyl Alchohol?
Well the thickness is moot point since the heatsink will have its way on overall contact, too much though you just end up wasteing it as its sqeezed out. Ya that will work or methal hydrate.
I guess your heatsink just sucks, though I have heard a lot of people complaining about stock intel heatsinks, so thats probably what it. I always recommend either the arctic cooling freezer pro 7 for budgets, or the either the zalman 9500 or 9700 if you have the money. Short of water cooling, the zalmans will be the best theing you can buy for less then a hundred (vigor has a nice tec cooler for about 150)

This is the first Core 2 over heat thread I've actually participated in. Let me go over some obvious points here.
Is the HSF secure enough?
Did you use the right amount of AS5?
Do you have good air flow?
Don't be offended by these simple questions. I have to ask them.
1: Yes
2: As far as I know. Thats my guess though.
3: Cables are tucked away as nicely as possible, spent over an hour and a half running them in the case. 120mm fan on heatsink and 2 exauhst fans within an inch of it. All components feel cool to the touch, even heatsink and heatpipes.
My bad, didn't quite read through the whole thing, I suggest you check out your temperature with a monitoring program, ntune works pretty well, or you could try motherboard monitor. This seems strange that it still is that high. All I can suggest beyond that is either add another fan on the other side of the sink or try a different cooler
All I can say is that if you are going to replace the thermal grease, get some arctic clean, that stuff made it extremely easy to replace my thermal grease, and to try zalman super thermla grease. The silver concentration is lower I think, though the best benefit is that it comes with a nail polish brush, so you can get a thin layer, which allows it work better, while as5 is difficult to spread evenly and thin.
Also another suggestion is try lower the voltage is far as you can go or even underclock the processor to see if that was it was so hot, if thats the cases, then you just got reeeeeaaaaallly unlikely
