My asaka 40mm chipset fan and my Thermaltake Blue Orb 2 arrived today. The only thing bothering me is that it is still running 42c under load, my stock one ran 50c under load. So my m8 said it will improve when the paste dries. Is that right, or you wreckon im doing somthing wrong.

You're complaining about it being 42 C at load? But regardless of that, you MIGHT, keyword might, see a small drop in temps once the AS5 cures, we are talking like 1-2 degrees C

that's no good man. How many volts to the CPU?

you are probably just putting on too much AS5.

i didnt buy AS5, its just the stuff that came with it. no 42 is good, i just kind of wondered if it would be lower. As i clocked it back to stock speeds before i fit it, so my point is its 42c at load, on stock speeds.

Get some AS5, it is probably better than what came with it, nix that, it is better, and it only costs like 3 bucks.

yea, i will get some when i order my PSU later. do you reckon i put too much of this stuff on?

so annoying though, cos i wanted AS5 in the first place and it was out of stock so i left it

alright thanks for the help

Linky
Scroll down to bottom of page 4. Is that how much you put on?

 

[thedarklordjay]

woh, i put way too much of the other stuff on then. I like completely spread it. Ill be more careful when reaplying the AS5
