I just put in a new CPU fan, a black thermoengine, onto my comp. Before the temp in my computer was 112, but now it's jumped up to 127 (thats in fairenwhatever, not celsius). I put thermal paste or grease (whatever it's called) on it as well. My case is closed up. Can some one think of why it's possibly doin that???? Please help me overclockers forum people, you're my only hope.

it is still pretty cool I am guess the new fan is not as powerful but no need to worry your temps are fine and remember it is summer.

should I worry about the temp though? Or at what tempature should I worry about?

anything under 65C is fine so you have a nice cool chip!

Did you apply the thermal compound correctly? If you put too much or too little on it will give you high temps. I personaly think that is pretty high temps.

That temp aint bad. More airflow will help. Make sure that Thermoengine is seated properly on the chip. Careful tho, dont want to chip that core.

That temperature translates to 51 degrees C. Thats fine, but my god 65!! i dont think so

It just might be the thermal compound... I just put the stuff on it then put on the heatsink... also...I found out that the new fan is slower than my old fan... ain't that something? grrr.... what do you guys make of that crappola?

What happens when you put on too much Themo paste? Does it trappe heat? I know what happes when too little is put on their. Fryed eggs anyone? Heheheh

When you put too much on it gets really messy around the core. That is especially bad if you use Arctic Silver. It also can trap heat and cause the same problems as too much.
