Hi all
amd athlon 5000+ 2.6 ghz overclocked 3.0ghz
Can anyone help me please I have just installed a coolermaster z600 cpu cooler, I used artic silver ceramique t/p, its a 2.5g tube. I noticed after getting everything set up that my idle temps are up 5 celsius.
So I was wondering if a. the thermal paste takes a while to take effect or b. whats normally the tell-tale signs of bad thermal paste application?
I used the pea method to apply paste and have two silverstone 120mm fans in a push/pull config on the heatsink. So any ideas guys?
P.s I have upped my fsb to 230 and prime large tests has been running for half an hour and the cores havent maxed 46 celsius.
thanks
