i just installed an slk-900u on my computer and now i am getting higher temps than my older hsf. It is screwed in all the way and thermal paste is applied and spread. (50+degrees new temp; idle)

ensure you have installed it correctly, it is possible to have it switched around...the screwdriver catch should be facing the PSU and make sure part of the hsf isn't on the lip of the socket...believe me, it happens. if it's not that, remove, reapply and reseat...good luck.

I reapplied my as3 also and now temps are 39 idle/ 44-46 load (depends if AC is on )
