Hey guys...
I have a very weird problem with one of my computers. A few days ago the plastic heatsink mount on the motherboard broke, so i obviously replaced it with a new one, but ever since the processor has been idling at 77C, i cleaned the processor and heatsink off with rubbing alcohol, and applied my normal amount of my normal heatsink compound... no luck... i've let it sit like that for a couple hours hoping it would burn in, but no luck, any ideas??
i've been using radioshack heatsink compound for years on my computers, never had a problem with it... but now the heatsink isnt even hot when i take it off and the processor burns my finger, whats going on???
thanks
kyle
