Hi,
Recently I took out the heatsink of my processor to clean it up. I cleaned up the heatsink and the thermal paste as well. Now, i put the heatsink back without thermal paste this time  temperature: processor zone = 60 - 65 (loaded) deg system zone 1 = 37 deg system zone 2 = 40 deg processory fan = 3450rpm P4 @ 2.8Ghz, is this normal ?

QUOTE(zx7177 @ Oct 14 2006, 05:08 PM) but i think thats why the heatsinks are usually clamped down really hard onto the processor , so to push the thermal paste as flat as possible Well, thermal paste proved to decrease CPU temperature. BEFORE: 60 deg C AFTER: 40-45 deg C happy now! This post has been edited by wazzup_2005: Oct 15 2006, 03:31 AM |
