Hi,
Was just playing a game today and noticed my CPU temp shot up to 62C and my mobo to around 48C and the probing software gave me a few alerts about this. My room temperature was probably around 25 - 27C.
When installing the heatsink, I didn't realise that it came pre-applied with paste, so I had already applied some thermal silver paste on the CPU. I didn't bother cleaning off the paste on the heatsink and just installed it. Would this be causing a problem? I'm not sure what thermal paste was on the freezer 64 Pro, but a friend told me mixing that with the silver isn't a good idea.
Should I start over and clean the thermal paste and re-apply with silver? I've only put together my system 2 days ago.
