Paper sticker on bottom of Duron, i smell burning

[Conrad]

Hi, I got a new Duron 750 from OCUK, i applied as2, and installed a thermoengine on it, temps in bios were 29. Then, i go into windows, make a phone call, come back to a smell of paper burning, i look at the temperature, it reads 55ish, that is high for an idle temp... I did a hard shutdown, uninstalled the Duron, and the paper on the bottom had a Burnt circle on it, it was ffrom the heat probe or whatever is under the socket.

Is that what made my temps so high, and why the F==k do they putt stickers on when it makes em burn?

Found it! I have a thermoengine, the temp was so high coz i had teh fan sucking instead of blowing :P Oops!

Yup, it was the thermistor biting into the paper, i found out AMD are banning suppliers from doing tha...
