Heat!Hot!

[Miknow]

I just built my cousins comp on amd NOT o/ced xp1600 with stock amd heatsink/fan, after turning it on and leaving it for about 20 minutes the heatsink is VERY HOT to a point where I can't touch it using intel all my life I don't know whether if this is normal or im doin something wrong

Should not be THAT hot. Did you use thermal paste? Did you apply it properly? What kind? What is the current temp? Need more info.

Yes i used AC3 applied a thin layer of it spread it across the heatsink a razor blade but its really hot I dont know the temp because i have no way of finding out

DO a google search for mbm5 (motherboard monitor 5) its a program for displaying temps and such. Or there should be something in bios that says temps.

I know I have that on my comp but I just built my cousins comp and havent even installed a OS yet

Did you look in Bios? My computers have it under "Pc Health" or something like that.
