I just installed a 2500 barton on a A7n8X-E D with a aftermarket heat sink/fan/copper base and a dab of artic 5. I've haven't tasked the CPU much, cause awaiting for a floppy. Anyway, Is it normal for the CPU to run at 40-45'c at the core. The fan at full speed max2500 RPM. Is their a breaking in period for the compound to sink in? The case temp is around 70-72'F.
Before proceed to install software and stuff I wanna make sure hardware is good to go for this new rig.
Searched other threads and details were different from mine so I hope this is not a repeated question.
