My brothers rig is running an 6000x2 at stock speeds.he has an aftermarket CPU fan and the other day it crapped out on him.no damage to the CPU so I threw in an old stock heatsink in there.I turned it on and it booted to vista and I opened speedfan and it reads it idles at 48-52c .everest shows the same temps but once he starts watching youtube and downloading podcasts it turns off.I'm guessing it goes over 60c which the bios is set to turn off.before on the aftermarket fan it read 18c in idle35full load.what could be causing this?I applied artic silver but is it possible that there so much grease it forms like a blanket on the CPU keeping it hot?
