Hey,
I just recently built my system (1.1GHz Thunderbird w/ CoolerMaster DP5-6H51) and after playing about an hour, maybe two, of a demanding game (ie, Rogue Spear or Unreal Tournament), my computer locks up and restarts. I check the temperature and it's around 130 ferinheit. After reading the recent article about putting together a new system, I noticed I didn't apply (or have for that matter) any thermal compound (mainly because I thought that's what the little thing on the bottom of the sink was?). Could that be the source of my overheating problem?
