wen i first built this rig.... i had temps of about 30 and i have dun nothing diffrent since and now they rest at about 45-50..... i used A.Silver compound with my heatsink and by now it will have 'set' if u get me.....i fort i myt have put to much on at first but that would mean temps would have been high to start with....

am a lil confused any help?

(have Q6600, with Artic 7 cpu cooler, using A.silver compound)
 
How long ago did you build it?
Did you follow the guidelines for putting on arctic silver?
Are any of your fans full of dust, stopping airflow?
 
the CPU fan has a lil bit ov dust... i myt take it apart and give it clean.

bout 3 months ago now i fink. i did follow the guidelines but other av sed diffrent from the guidlines.

I had this problem, i put my thermal paste in a line down the cpu, then whacked the heatsink on top.

My temps were in the 50's tho and not even under load, and at stock speed :p

Its now 46-47 at stock, but its clocked from 1.8 to 3.0, and its been on all day :p
 
Bob3rt, "Ace Modder"s posts were edited by a mod, that's why they're in yellow ;)

Is your gpu at the same sort of temperature it was before?
If it is, in which case the conditions in your case havn't changed, i would suggest reseating your cooler, more than likely to work.
 
well i used the line of paste method on my CPU too... and it was running at 30 then slowley came up now seems to be staying around 45-50.... i will try to reset the Heatsink and use a thinner layer of compound maybe ?
