That temp will not burn your hand...you will only feel warm or hot....

you can use better cooler and then apply as5 to it...the temp should be lower ... just my opinion...

Another thing which may cause u not feeling the heatsink to be warm is because the contact between ur hsf and ur proc is bad. So, the proc will end up hot and not the hsf.

So what should i do to the mobo Heatsink?

relocate it ?

remove, clean the thermal paste, apply another layer of thermal paste then mount ur HSF again...

make sure thermal paste is spread evenly and not to thick nor too thin...

carefully but firmly mount ur HSF ....

Just reinstall your heatsink with some thermal paste. Make sure this time that the heatsink sits on properly.

Hi...I juz been to my friend's house to see his C2D setup..Surprisingly his E6300 is cooler then mine by 5-10c..He said he apply a second layer of paste...Should I do that cuz I juz take the heatsink and put into the processer.

just a few reminder for you, make sure you compare the temp using the same software (suggest TAT), make sure the surrounding temp for yours and your fren's does not deviate too much, make sure his E6300 sits on DS3 not other mobo. as your HSF's ori thermal paste is new so i don think the temp will vary for 5~10. the most is 3~5.

Take out the heatsink, clean the old thermal paste, clean it with using Arctic Cleaner, apply a new thermal paste, then resit the heatsink properyly...

That should do it, don't overdo the thermal paste...

Make it in the middle, not too thick, not too thin...

2nd layer as in mixing thermal paste?

pls recommend me a heatsink .....budget around 100-200...

I hope i can oc my E6300 extremely with low budget ...haha

You can't get a heatsink that can cool you're E6300 in extreme if you're budget is around RM100...

The best is, max up you're budget to RM200...

Then, go get you'reself either this three heatsink:

1) Thermalright Ultra 120
2) Scythe Infinity
3) CoolerMaster Hyper TX

CoolerMaster Hyper TX is the cheapest from all those three options...

This three heatsink are proven to be 3 of the best 3rd party heatsink in the market...

Don't buy it at Lowyat Plaza...

You'll be surprised that those heatsink in Lowyat Plaza is more then RM200...

Go to bulk section, and find someone that is doing bulk on one of the heatsink...

Price in those bulk section is much much cheaper than Lowyat Plaza...

I compared with TAT...and he uses a cheep mobo...BTW i'll try reinstall the paste.
BTW ... Ultra-120 or infinity better if noise is not an issue !

If noise is not an issue, then, you can always choose what kind of fan u want to use on u're future heatsink...

Let's say, u buy a Scythe Infinity heatsink, then use a Delta Tri Bladed fan, sure it will rock you're pc like hell...

Will cool down you're processor to the extreme, but beware of the noise...

U can say now that noise isn't an issue, but once u've feel the sweetness of silence pc, you'll fall in love with it for sure...

Compare between Ultra-120 and Scythe Infinity on using wat kind of fan, U guys had to be very careful. Ultra-120 can basically use any 12cm fan with different thickness ( 25mm, 32mm, 38mm and so on) whilst scythe infinity can only use 25mm thickness fan. So Shawnty, Delta Tri bladed fan is 32mm, I dont think U can use it on Infinity unless U use other method to tie it up. Get yr fact rite ...
In term of performance for both HSF, they are about the same. Marginally better toward ultra-120. But Ultra-120 had lighter weight, wider fan choice over infinity.
There is no clear winner among them...

Only 25mm fan only la ......( normal 12mm fan ?) . Infinity is about 1kg right...will it fall off my mobo if i don't move it around all the time ?

Hmm...is tat easy to take out the heatsink ?

apply on top of the HS ? or apply inside the HS ??


Soree..noobie learning here.
Thanks!

If ur refering to stock intel heatsink. Yes it is easy. Just refer to your manual.

Taking out intel stock heatsink is much much easier than what you think...

Apply the thermal paste on you're processor "IHS" <- [Integrated Heatspreader]
Hold you're processor in you're hand, you'll see at the top of you're processor, there's a metal part in silver colour, that's what we call as IHS...

And that's where you suppose to put a layer of thermal paste, not on the heatsink...

where u meant the IHS eh? i still didnt get it.

Can u see that metal part on top of the processor there?
The part that has the information of the processor...

The one that has some writings of you're processor type, model, clock speed, and the L2 Cache...

That's the part that is called IHS...

Capiche?
