Well with all the noise i have with my new hs/fan my temps are bad for the stock voltage im running through it, also while i tried to remove the ihs some days ago i think i scraped the top of the pcb outside the ihs by accident, did i damage anything by doing that?

anyway.. here are the results

temp i seen it go to 52 highest on the cpu, PWM temp was 52 all the time and chipset was 44.. thats while i was doing other things.

prime 95 run, longest run ive done of it yet.. that was small FFT's btw

Clock was at 2.6ghz, stock voltage.. terrible temps for such a noise coming from my pc

anyone have advice on stability, temps & the pcb i scratched?

I don't think you have damaged your cpu. If you had it would not work.

You may have a cpu that runs hot. Although all of your other temps are high also. What case fans are you using?

Your cpu will only be as cool as the air in the case....look there for your problem.

fans, well there is 2 at the front bottom intake ( came already with case ) also one at the top and one at the back that came with the case. i only recently rearranged the gfx card to bottom pcie slot and put a pci exhaust fan in place, only that and the back top exhaust fan is on. aswell as cpu fan which shifts a lot of air but strangely it doesnt really feel warm or anything even tho cpu temp around 50c. and i dont think its a false reading, noisy considering the bad temps tho anyone have ideas?
