bro if ur hsf is cold to the touch that means it isnt working ... if ur heatsink is hot or warm to the toucvh that mean it is conducting the heat. this applies to all heatsinjks big or small.... if its cold so that means it s not working, try reseating the hsf or change to a different hsf...

mmm since so many ppl recommend me to go for liquid cooling system system. Mind if i ask at least how much RM i will have to invest in it to get a decent performance. By the way wat brand of liquid cooling system is recommended and their specifications.

Infinity..I didn't overclock..Load at 58c.

definately wrong reading if u make sure all the things done correctly.

using infinity for non o/c E63 should get 40-45 (idle) and 46-50 (load with orthos).

just a reference here: i'm using ultra-120 with e64 o/c 400x8 at 1.375v, 51 (idle) and 55-56(load with 2 foldings) or 58-59 (load with orthos). my reading consider quite high d as my air flow not really good. 1x80mm intake, 1x120mm + 1x80mm (psu) exhaust. no sleeving any wires (quite messy).

*my readings depends on the weather too

Hmm...my ambient temp is around 30c.....Could be my E6300 is the problem it self ?

where is the location of your case, on the table or below the table?
try running with case open, see how huge temperature difference

On top...no diffrent in temp when case open.

what heatpaste u using?, be sure not too thick...

Artic silver 5...will check the thickness.

I am not sure that this would help, but it's worth for a try

Try updating the bios...

try reading the instructions see whether did u do it right...

I'll try when I got my time.Updated my Bios still same.

Where u put ur pc? ROom? Room temperature?

Room....Temp around 30c

did u check thermalpaste thickness...
btw try take pic of ur case n thermalpaste thickness n post here..
mybe it will help the rest of us to settle it..

theres is no specific breands , but i recomend getting if u wan normal but cheap, but ok performance get teh collermaster aquagate mini r120

how about the 3d galaxy from gigabyte? is it consider high performance WC? those sales person in pc fair told me it is the best and so on

lol.. a packaged wc kit is NEver good. coz they cant use high end stuffs , the price too high, and no wan will buy. did u know a artic cooling freezer 64pro can beat the thermaltake bigwater?....

well i doubt its the thermal paste too thick coz if the hsfs mounted properly it will spread out so no more thick... the main thing is the mounting pressure..

rite... if u mount the hsf properly, there should be no thermal paste thickness matter since it will spread out .... just my 2 cent... maybe something related to ur casing ventilation....
