i overclocked my I5 750 to 4 GHz and my cpu idles @ 40-45 C but when loaded with prime95 on only test 2, i got core 4 @ 75 C.

i used a thin vertical line method for thermal compound.

Has anyone got any idea's what i can do, except from buying another cooler.

the cooler is about 1.5 cm from the back of a hot HD 4870 so some of the heat sink is gettin heated by that.

p.s. previously i had my cpu fan blowing air downwards on the gpu card so none of the heatsink of the cpu has heated up and max temp was 69 C but i did spread the compund around the cpu instead. unfortunately it heated my HDD's up which made me change it
 
reapply the paste and refit the cooler?

put a pea sized blob on the cpu, put a finger into the corner of a sandwich bag/clingfilm, and spread it all over.

what are the other cores temps?
 
the others weren't far off, about 72, 73.

i tried that bag method but all the paste just stuck to the bag and in the end there was none of the cpu. i was using MX-3 paste.

just out fo curiousity, does anyone know if spreading it on the cpu is better than just putting a vertical line?
 
mx3's real hard to spread just use the blob in middle pea method see if it lowers temps btw though i think this cooler amongst others only work their best with 2x fans on or careful fan choice.
It's nowhere near the size of a pea though the amount you use should be about half the size of a garden pea
 
Titan Fenrir is a conatct cooler you do not put a blob in the middle or a line on these. RJ has done a tutorial with pics on how to apply paste to it on these boards, sorry im at work so dont have time to find it but search and all will be clear mate
 
I used the 5 blob technique both times I've had to fit my Fenrir, no troubles at all. :P

One big blob in the middle, the size of a big fat pea, then half way between the centre and each corner, a smaller blob like a tiny garden pea.

Always leaves a little bit splurged over the edge, and I'm guessing no bubbles seeing as my load temp is 50C on stock settings....
 
cool, may i have the link when you finish work.

i repasted my cpu by spreading the compound with a credit card, i can now run prime 95 for 30 mins with a max temp of 68 which is awesome, (then i quit, already tested it was stable before).
thanks for support.

btw the line method fail, about a third of contact was bare with no thermal compound to be seen, so if anyone else has this problem, spread it just to be safe.
 
hey guys, temps were good then they poop again, this titan is been Very mean to me lol :(

since the cores are in the vertical centre of the cpu, only about 2 heat pipes touches this region while if i rotate my cpu heatsink 90 degree's, all 4 will be toucher the vertical part of the cpu.

the only way i can turn it 90 degree's without it going to hell is if i make my cpu fan pull air from the cpu heatsink than pushing air through it, anyone know if the change matters?
 
Forgot about this, if it's a direct heatpipe contact cooler there are certain methods that are best suggest you get googling
