cpu temp too high?

[Jesusfrk611]

what if my heatsink cant be turned or moved once its on the cpu?

No biggie, just clamp it down and it should be good to go.

ok i just did what u said, no spreading it, and now its getting at 50- 54 idle but u said its gonna get better once it "breaks in" right?

the thermal paste has to "sink in"(not really sink in) and the tempature should go down a bit more

around 200 hours for full conductivity.

The next thing to address (I assume that the cooler and fan have been cleaned of dust build up) is the case cabling, fans and airflow.

That is the reason I requested a picture of the inside of the case. Without decent airflow you're not going to get efficient cooling.

well all my cables are on the side of the optical drives and hardrvies there are no cables blocking the cpu and yes i got rid of the dust.

EDIT- wait is the direction of the case fans suppose to be blowing in or out?

front fans blow in, back fans blow out.

front fans blow in, back fans blow out.

[ohnoes]

if you have a side fan. id prefer going out though.
