Hello,
I a bit confuse 'bout the cpu cooler (CM HYPER 212+) that i just install last 2 days. when i read many tech. online forums, it should reduce 'bout 7-10 degree Celsius... but mine only reduce down to 2 degrees Celsius.(From 40 degree to 38 degree on idle, when run Prime 95, its went up to 58 degrees and increasing but i stopped it before it fry my CPU) Below are my PC spec.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3
CPU Cooler: CM HYPER 212+
RAM: Corsair gaming 4GB
Graphic card : Sapphire HD5650 pro
HDD: WD 640GB & WD 160GB
PSU: CM extreme 550W
Chassis: Thermaltake Dokker

Please help me regarding this issue because i have no idea what to do next.

1. Yup, already removed it.
2. Use the given one.
3. From what i'm experienced before i think, i put enough thermal compound. (Is there any other methods to put the thermal compound for this CPU cooler ?)
4. Yup, clean it already.
5. I think so... after check it for few times.
6. my exhaust fan only at the back(arctic cooler F12 PWM pro). Intake air front (stock thermaltake fan come with chassis & side panel Cooler Master 120mm fan)
7. I think so... after check it for few times.

Now my temp run pretty high just for surfing the net is at 47 degree.

So, I need to put more fans in side my chassis...??? I think i need to re-install my CPU cooler. Any suggestion for any good thermal compound....?? Coz need to buy one.

Do u think dat I really need to re-intall the CPU cooler.... haih...~ Anyway, thx 4 da link... wat i heard dat "arctic" thermal paste is not bad....~

yup.... i'm using the one dat come together with the cooler....~

I think, there somethin' wrong when I apply the thermal paste.... Look what I have found : http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?opti...=1&limitstart=5

I did put the thermal paste on the processor... not on the heatsink or heatpipe.... But now, need to buy the paste cleaner also new thermal paste.... coz I already misplaced the stock thermal paste..... aiyahhhh.....

searching for thermal paste now..... MX-4 or Silver 5 which one is better....???~

wipes it with little alcohol.....??? is it okay if I do dat... teach me some coz i'm still a noob...~

this is the pic of my PC..... dunno whether its good or not... coz dis is the best dat i can do....

Really.... that makes me feel better a bit.... but when playing games (eg. Dragon Age II), my temp goes up to 58 degrees (coz the limit temp for the processor is 62 degrees Celsius) ...... (By the way, today the weather are quite hot actually, even me getting an headache coz of the weather.)

Does anyone here are pro in AMD.... wanna know whether my temp are in safe state or not coz while i'm running Prime95... the temp hit 58 degrees and increasing.... what I read from AMD forum... max temp for my processor is 62 degrees...~

nice info... never thought of it...~

'bout the thermal paste.... dat a new info for me coz wat read from online before (most of it) putting too much of it can make the heat not transfer to the heatsink efficiently. But from ur saying it make sense.... the paste still doing its job even we put it too much or little....

For the room temperature.... i need to buy a thermometer first to measure the temperature of my room....
