bro still at 7 is almost impossible to reach on air alone. can explain how u get? with core temp at 40 i dont think so.

i think is the wrong reading.... core temp at 40+ means cpu is around 30+..

dat why la...me myself dunno wat to do or wat i hv done.since pc no problm,so i don't really care...but long term,proc boley jalan.

off topic,

anyone using TX2 ? is it looks like MX2 or AS5 type? need to use artic cleaner to remove it or can direct clean with tissue?

Well, I use spirit and cotton wool. Tissue alone isn't recommended, but in a pinch it won't really cause any serious problems.

i'm using tx2 and i use swan alcohol cleaner only...plus i use the make up wiper tissue (took from my wife make up case )

if its really tough to remove u can use nail polish remover... works nicely.. but remember to clean the surface with alchohol b4 u reapply ur TIM...

Thinner also works wonders on tough removals, better than nail polish remover (aka Acetone), but like nail polish remover leaves an oily residue you must clean off with alcohol.

well, i havent try to clean my cooler base yet, but about the TIM, i'd applied to the heatpipes.. the results still the same with when i applied 100% to base surface area..

I found this article. It might help

http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?opti...=1&limitstart=4

the last method is the best?

well i dunno man.actually i did something like this and i think its quite good. i start by placing some TIM on to the cooler base. then i use a credit card to evenly distribute it. then i put some more TIM onto the ihs. so far no prob for me

hi, i just installed the cpu cooler, at first i used rice grain method. The cpu temperature was worse than the stock heatsink (42 degree celcius idle on core). 2nd time, i use rice grain method but more, the cpu temperature did reduce until 35. Then i adjust the cooler from horizontal to vertical. Boom. the temperature decrease amazingly.

CPU=20 degree
full load 30 degree
Core= 22-27 degree
full load 35-40 degree

done in 24 degree room temp.

That's impossible for a processor to be cooler than the room temperature.
There must be something wrong with your temperature sensor.

i doubt it. i use other mobo also give me similiar result.

Well then, i'll just call the best minds and show that a processor can't be cooler than the room temperature.

Law of Thermodynamics disagrees with you. Energy In -> Energy Out.

Either your thermal diode on your processor is whack, the BIOS is whack or the reading software is whack.

Either way something is whack.

perhaps you can download coretemp and load it up, with a SS of that, it would clarify everything

wah seh.. againts the law of physic somemore ar..
lol.. Should i throw away my newly bought mobo? haha

No, you just have to accept that a processor will never run at a lower temperature unless you're using a cascade / phase change / dry ice or LN2.
Even watercooling can't cool a processor than the room temperature.

I'm using a high end watercooling kit on my Q6600 G0 [at stock speed] with my room cooled by a 2.5HP air conditioner set to run at 14°C that runs for 24 hours, my processor still runs at 28 degrees. If a watercooling kit can't cool a processor lower than the room temperature, it's impossible for an aircooling heatsink to do that.

By the way, my watercooling kit consits of a bowed D-TEK FuZion, Swiftech MCP655-B, Swiftech MCRES Micro & Cool-Trek DP1203.
