| I have an MSI Neo Platinum 2 board, which means the CPU socket, and cooler are 90 degrees clockwise from other AMD machines, which has ment i have had to turn my 120mm exhaust fan to fire air inward instead, as it was pulling air out, away from the Cooler's fan. Anyways, this solved the problem i had originally yesterday, where the temperature went really hot. I installed the cooler yesterday afternoon, and left it running till midnight, with low temperatures. I used Arctic Silver 5 paste, although on reflection, I may have used too much. All my temperature were with Cool n Quiet switched off. Before anyone has a go at me for this, Cool n Quiet doesn't help when blasting away on Counter Strike Source and Call of Duty, where the temperatures are higher then the stock AMD cooler. With Cool n Quite off, my idle temperatures on the stock cooler were 45C, they are now 50C or higher, and under load the stock cooler is better again. Yesterday though this wasn't the case. |
