Hi all,
I have a problem with my CPU temp at the mo...Recently i have noticed that it has been spiking very high. It has spent some time at above 80c at which point i fainted and lost the will to live :dead:. It seems that when i do anything heavy it spikes high. Its a bit worrying, so yesterday i reapplied thermal compound and took a can of pressurised air to the fan and heatsink getting rid of the **** stuck to it..After switching back on it has made know difference at all, still averaging about 60 which is way to high for my nerves...I might have put too much thermal compound on it...
Can anyone suggest any other methods of lowering my cpu temp before i dont have one left..
Having said all the above i really have to hand it too intel, their chips can sustain 80c for a bit..not sure how long, but fair play to intel...
Ive thought about watercooling, but i dont think its worth the money and the time too install..Can anybody point in me in the right direction of any good watercooling solutions for just CPU cooling not VGA as well.
Thanks
