is this right?!

Try clicking Configure or Automatic Fan speed. You may be able to speed that fan up.

Haha, thats not by any chance talking about me :p


Actually I was, I was thinking new thermal paste, and then remembered how you had said "only the size of a rice grain" so I was like why not add that in.. :D
 
anyway instead of having the fan on the back of my computer i put it on the heatsink cause there wasn't one there and now my temps are about 6-8 degrees C lower.

You should always have a fan on your heatsink.
 
no way NO WAY put your heat sink on :) um lets see maybe open up the case and let a big fan blow in on the pc, buy some more case fans how many do u have? are the 80mm or 120mm?
 
Yeah, you always put your heatsink on, but some heatsinks can work well without a fan, though they tend to be the expensive ones.

My new heatsink/fan came today, but we weren't here to get it, so its gone back to the depo :( Tommrow there going to try again...
