I have a ThermoEngine with the 7200 Delta fan. Since removing the thermal pad and applying thermal grease my temps are now 45 C idle and up to 50 C load on a 1000@1130 Thunderbird. I also moved the socket thermistor so that it was in direct contact with the CPU. My Mobo temp is 23.7 C, by all accounts my temps should be about 5-8 C lower than they are now. The HSF is seated correctly and thermal paste applied as per recommendations. BIOS readings at startup show the CPU temp to be 31-33C
Could it be that moving the socket thermistor altered the accuracy of the temps. I have no problems with stability and run Seti 50% of the time. Due to constraints with settings on my MoBo this is as far as I can O\C.
It puzzles me as to why my temps are so high, any ideas?
