Got it all built, CPU is giving me temps of 80c when idling

Have to admit I find the Scythe Ninja an absolute [email protected]* to fit and find the 755 just a generally awkward set up. Anyone reckon the heat sink isn't mounted correctly? Not using AS5 as I can't find it, I have some somewhere...

80C?.... not good. Are you running w/o thermal paste? I have the ninja but I dunno if there is a 775 version...

I'm using the paste that came with the heatsink. To be honest I found the Ninja to be of very poor construction. Now my monitor is beeping at me for some reason, gah I just love new builds.

I smell a too weak PSU.
