Specs:
mobo - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
cpu - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core
Pwr Sup - CORSAIR Professional Series HX850
Vid Card - SAPPHIRE 100269HDMI Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit
Hdrive - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM
Ram - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2
my issue is that i believe either A. my motherboard can't handle it and is defective. or B. i'm a failure. lol. most likely going to be B.
I know my motherboard is at least the source because me and my professional computer friend ripped apart my computer when it was having repeated on and off for only seconds issue, i RMA'd the board - it came back and all seemed well for a while. Recently i realized that the bottom two pins on my stock Intel cpu fan had come aloose(my cpu isn't overclocked.) So i took it off and repinned them, but i didn't reseat, and i didn't re-thermal paste it. Speedfan says my core temps are at web browsing temps of 90-100c which is WAAAAY too hott - which brings me to my other issue. I for one, CANNOT play graphically demanding games such as call of duty or anything near that. I play WoW, but that crashes from time to time and i believe it all has to do with my mobo. I read reviews and alot of people had teh same issue, i'm sure eventually i'll just upgrade the mobo and buy thermal paste and a heatsink to have peace of mind, but i'm waiting on the funds. If i just got a heat sink, and re thermal pasted do you believe that would solve my issues? i'm just having a hard time finding that not rethermal pasting would cause 98% browsing temps.
