My thermal paste came in and tried to reapply it. Turned my comp on and went on for a sec and went off. I tried lookin if I put a lot of the paste and I did a bit and I have a tiny bit on the gold pin section. Any fix?!

I cleaned it off now using q-tip and a dab of alcohol. I'm scared to put it back on but mobo is still good with the LEDs on it for ram check, gfx etc. Any idea?

As long as you used 91% or better Ispropyl Alcohol and it left no residue, then you should be fine.

Ok comp booted up already but my 1090T temp is at 55C. Good bad?

 

[evilvyse]

Stock Fan and Arctic Cool for paste.

Is that 55C your load temp or idle temp. Also how are you getting that temp, bios, real temp, speed fan or what?

 

[evilvyse]

I'm checking it on my bios, start up temp I guess?
It says 54C.

 

[Tarun]

check it in coretemp once and tell us the idle temps

Ignore idle temps and don't go by what's in BIOS ("CPU Temp").

You need to be concerned with "Core Temp" under load.

See my guide for more information.

 

[evilvyse]

Where can I see core temp? Bios? I have uefi bios if it matters.

 

[ALUCARDVPR]

The Core Temp program (among others) reads the AMD "Core Temp" value.

Again, idle temps will be inaccurate, what is value when the CPU is under load?

 

[Tarun]

^^^He is right buddy the core temp is more imp under load just give it a try

 

[evilvyse]

I downloaded AMD Overdrive and this is what it says...
I'm on CPU Status and looked at the temps all @ 28C

 

[Tarun]

it OK but whats ur room temp ??

Hope all that helped
