Hi :)

You didn't do it correctly...do it again PRECISELY as I said...with a TINY amount of cement...half a pea size...

All the best Brett :)

That cooler should work well enough on that cpu , either it is not mounted right or you have to much paste , air bubble .
What are your temps in the bios ? Maybe the other programs are reading it wrong ?
