Hi guys. I m totally new here.
I had few questions regarding my CPU, AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Brisbane ( not O.C). Few months back I invested in XFX HD 6670 for gaming. Now PC is used most of time for doing light work and during week ends for gaming. Hwmonitor / core temp shows around 38 deg C at idle and 58~ 62 deg C during gaming ( different for different games). During prime95 small FFT test, it reached 65 C in 10 min.
Few weeks back I had removed my HSF for cleaning. While doing so I had removed already dried Thermal compound from heatsink and fan. I applied a cheaper thermal compound used for electronic purposes. After doing so I dint find much difference in min & max temps.
Guys, here is what I want to ask:
1. Are my temperatures Ok?
2. Is my Stock HSF sufficient during gaming?
3. If not, will changing thermal compound and HSF to something like cooler master hyper 101 ( I have a small cabinet) , will make much difference ?
Configuration which I am having now is almost 3 yrs old. I intend to use same for a year or so before investing in new CPU MOBO. I have read couple of discussions and articles, about faulty temperature sensors in brisbane series CPU.
