Ok so I custom made my own computer for the first time
First things first.. When I installed it I took off the paste that was provided and then I followed arctic silver's instructions and placed a vertical line over the processor. The thing that worried me was that I saw 'cpu temperature error press f1 to resume" so.. I decided to go back to open BIOS and it said my temperature was at 63 degrees celsius which I thought was kind of high.
THEN I went back to try to apply more thermal compound and stuff (after cleaning it off with a slightly damp paper towel and completely dried off and no residue left). I re-applied it and when I went to check my power temperature again, it started at 63 and slowly went up by .5 every 2 seconds.. So after a while it went up to 73 and I immediately shut it off.. I tried this with ALL of my fans on high (using the Antec 900 two gamer case) and im really worried about my temperature being so high in idle state..
can anyone PLEASE help me fix this?
