I agree with Mousemonkey. Something 'out of the box' should work 99% of the time. I bought an ATI(only one I ever bought, and will never buy again) card and 8 of my 9 games I tried to play required 'patches' to work with my card. They weren't absurdly old and were all popular, yet I needed patches for everything.
Although, it did sound like mousemonkey was trying to start a flamewar, I don't think that was his intention, and if you read his text without reguard to emotion I think you'll find the same

Alright i'll do a proper calibration later.
The plastic was not melted what so ever, which was lucky on my part.
You want me to offset the speedfan temperatures by 15 degrees? Why are they so inaccurate? I thought it would be as simple as measuring the output of a thermometer inside.
and...
The answers to your questions are already addressed in the Guide.

Yeah, you might think of this as a flame, but take it as you want:
So you had a problem, posted for help. Several people gave you info. You found out that you screwed up and left the plastic on. I'm sorry, but that's just a big mistake. I think i'd deny it
. You've been on this site 2 months, and I bet I could find links to at least 10 people that have complained about their CPU being too hot. I bet almost every single one will give over and over tons of replies as to how to install your heatsink and your thermal paste. I've linked the AS5 guide at least once. Yet, you chose to ignore other's problems, the manual for your MB, the manual for your CPU(assuming you had one), the manual for your heatsink(assuming you had one), PLUS the manual for thermal paste(assuming you had one). I'd expect that you'd have noticed at LEAST 3 of these 5. Your mistake was a dumb one. I don't hold that against you since we all do dumb things every now and then. Blonde moments are called 'blonde moments' for a reason. My problem is that you clearly don't listen/read very well. You ignored all the guides, then ignored the link that was provided kindly by Computronix and only asked more questions that were provided in the link! I'm sorry but I use the search button like crazy before I post. You seem to post cause it was convenient. Well guess what? It's INconvenient for me to have to sit here and point out things that YOU should be doing BEFORE you post. I don't think there's much more I hate about forums than people that want to post their questions and are too lazy to try the search button or even read a link that was provided to answer your question! Instead you jump in with another question. Do yourself and the rest of us a favor and use the search button. There's alot more people on this site that I'd rather help that actually COULDN'T find their answer with the search button.
Now, being the nice guy that I am I'm gonna give you the information that you need to fix yourself since you couldn't read posts, manuals, or a link(but we'll pretend you actually CAN use the search button, but it sure is far fetched eh?).
And now the answers to your problems, conveniently in a form you don't know how to use:

Don't hurt yourself. I know it's gonna be hard to click on something and read it and maybe learn something, but it won't kill you. I promise!
Now, you should also read up on forum etiquette before you think of posting again. No, I will not provide a link as I'm deliberately forcing you to use a search button.
