Hello forum,
Recently my 4 year old motherboard died on me,so i bought a new Asrock G31M-VS2 motherboard just to keep the system running as i will buy a new pc late this year.
Earlier my cpu used to idle @ 21-30 * C and 39 at load.After i changed my mobo,i removed the thermal compound on it and the cooler(i have a stock intel cooler),with some alcohol.And with no thermal paste it's running @ 60* idle.
So 1.Does thermal paste create such huge difference in cooling?
2.Or could it be some other reason.
Add info : CPU= pentium d 925 @ 3 ghz
Cpu fan is @ 2200 RPM inspite of being this hot
fan was 4100 rpm during summer at load.
thanks
