I'm struggling right now.
People seem to be getting lower temps than me with stock coolers.
I've re seated my heatsink, I've applied thermal paste in every way you can think of, small grain, spread thinly etc.
hell I've even tried different pastes, ocz freeze, arctic silver and the noctua compound.
I know obviously ambient temps can vary so it's hard to make a direct comparison, but surely something ain't right if my temps are like 15 degrees higher than people with stock coolers.
Any advice?
Oh and one more thing, my heatsink is cool to touch (when I put my fingers on the fins) should it be hot?
