I was not getting good temps and so I reset the block.
I have a ic7, 2.4C, swifty 5002, E1250, heater core with 120mm fan sucking air and shrouded. AS3
I still get bad temps. The res temp is 27C, room is 27 and the cpu idle is 37.50 - 38C.
As I start prim95, the cpu reaches 44C after 4 hrs and the res temp goes up to 30-31C. I think 10 to 17C above res temp is bad.
As I was resetting the swifty I noticed 3 to 4 straches on the base. These were not there when it arrived or when I was mounting it the first time. They must have got there as I was struggling to put the tight retention thingies. could they be the cause, they are very small and superficial I could not feel them with my nail.
I used 90% isopropyl alcohol to clean the base and the IHS. The IHS had the stock tim melted into it. I tried to clean that with Qtips.
sould I lap the base and the IHS? How much AS3 should I apply?
Thanks for your patience guys. It is because of this forum that I have got so far and I want to thank all the posters.
