indeed, i have done this already probably about 3 or 4 times over the course of the processor in my presence. i am using the ceramique arctic silver. i have also used the stock stuff zalman gave me and ac5.. the one i currently have seems to work the best. any other suggestions? as to why this may be happening and a fix?
