1700+ at 56C IDLE and not o/ced?!?!?!?

[NeoN068]

Well this all started this weekend when me and my freinds tried to OC my 1700+ with a homemade water cooling system. I have been air cooled and still am. We tryed the water cooling and got it to boot the first time. The temps were a good 30C in the bios. Then the second time we booted it up, it only read 1/2 of my 512MB ram in there. Then the next time, it read 1/2 of the 1/2. And the next time it wouldn't even boot. So I put my fan back on it and let it sit for a while. I booted it up and everything looked fine. Everything worked great until I saw my temps. They were 56C when I was idle. Before they were around 40-45C idle. I dunno what happened! Any ideas?!?!

well i am one of your friends and u could have just asked me but here it goes.

1 the reason why the temps while watercooled were so high is that the the block wasnt seated properly.

2 the reason why your temps are still high is that the reminence of that thermal pad on your heatsink wasnt properly removed with rubbing alcohol

3 we can fix all that this weekend probably if u would like its is really a minor thing and if u would like to overclock you would be best with getting watercooling and remember we did jump your vcore so that may have a good influence on the temp change.

Does anyone else exept the person who ****ed up my processor have any ideas? :p haha

Well you do need thermal paste and need to clean both the CPU and the heatsink from the thermalpad resedue. after that you have to apply a really thin layer of thermal paste on the CPU core, spread it evenly and mount the (clean) heatsink on the chip, also your friend mentioned u upping the vcore, go to the BIOS and set it to default
