Right now I just have my quad at stock after I replaced my DS3.
Now the cpu is idling around 43-45 as it is a B#. But when I put it under any strenuous load it skyrockets to the failsafe temp.
Any ideas how a cpu in a case with good airflow idles at the right temp on a stock cooler then when its put under load, the temp shoots up ? The cooler is mounted firmly. Should I try maybe cleaning the cpu and hs with some alcohol?
Any special ways to put thermal paste on it ? Because Im lost.
Thanks,
Ryan
