I recently bought an after market heatsink/fan for the 89w version and I'm only seeing minimal results. My CPU temp went from 45c to 42c on idle. I'm not overclocking. I've reseated the hsf twice. I am using the antec 900 with the fans all on medium so I know I have good air flow. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
It doesn't seem too high.Remember that your heat sink compound will take a while to cure so after a while it could go down further by a few degrees C.
You might eventually see mid to upper mid 30 C temps.
