Right now my cpu (in the sig) runs between 45-50 c idle depending on if the ac is on. My system temps are usually in the mid 30's. Im thinkin there are 2 reasons for the high temps, either I have too much arctic silver on, or I need new case fans. I dont think its the heat sink because most people do fine with my heat sink. If I get more powerful case fans, will it make a difference in cpu temp as well?? also, how do I get off the heatsink? It was so tightly clipped on I almost broke the mobo trying to get it off to see if there is too much as3 (i put it all over the chip and I put some on the hs as well).
