bump for help

the threshold for this chip is only 62 so its running really hot from my point of view, i used akasa grey compound and applied it correctly (ive done hundreds of others with no probs) i have temporally under clocked it to 2ghz but the temps dont seem to be comin down that much, i have only had this cpu for a few weeks and i cant afford to buy another yet.
im still at a loss as to what i should do, thanks for the reply

the fan only has the one speed so its @ 2500 rpm, and cool and quiet is turned off, the cpu is @2ghz at the mo and its 55 under load.

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 18:03

mine's a brisbane core too, so u think the voltage is far to high??

jamjar1383 · 12 Sep 2009 at 18:17

i just looked at my bios and it wont let me go lower that 1.440 it will however let me go higher

jamjar1383 · 17 Sep 2009 at 01:14

thanks guys ive dont it now, but the temps are still high

jamjar1383 · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:35

well after much messing around i changed my cooler for a freezer 64 pro so now its all running at default in the bios (voltage, speed) so its at 3.1 ghz and its running at 62c under load, its still to hot, so no overclocking till i buy a quad later this year. lol

jamjar1383 · 22 Sep 2009 at 01:11

well ive just tried over clocking it without changing anything but the bus speed and hit 3.3ghz no probs but its still hot

jamjar1383 · 22 Sep 2009 at 01:12

im now ar my wits end with this chip ive done everything i can think od with and im still no better off with it, i spent the evening lapping the cpu and the heatsink and it stil gets far to hot, ive got my shutdown temp set at 64c and after lapping it i set prime95 to go and within 5 mins it shutdown.
anyone got any other ideas?
