    How should I go about doing this?

    Hi Guys, So I've been a member of HardForum since 2006, however, I only have 23 (after this, 24) posts. I was really hoping to be able to trade my AMD card for an Nvidia card, however, I need 100 posts total to post in that category. Any ideas on how I should go about getting those extra...

    CPU Exceeding 206F.. Need Suggestions..

    Alright some good news, for now. I took the stock heatsink off, remounted it, put more thermal paste on it as well. I cleaned my video card. It was pretty dusty and nasty. Temps have only reached 186. I'm playing Dead Island right now, which made my cpu get to 206F, and the temps are staying in...

    CPU Exceeding 206F.. Need Suggestions..

    Alright thanks Skripka. I'm gonna go ahead and just force those pins down a little later, hoping I don't break anything. Lol. If I still have issues, I'll just go ahead and buy a new cooler.

    CPU Exceeding 206F.. Need Suggestions..

    It's hard to get this thing mounted correctly. It's a pain. Before I even touched it recently, the temps were just fine until they suddenly sky rocketed recently, which is why I HAD to reapply thermal paste, and in doing so, I had to unmount it, yet the temps are still high. Also, I can feel...

    CPU Exceeding 206F.. Need Suggestions..

    Thanks guys. Yes, I've had issues seating the heatsink. I'm pretty sure it's seated correctly and locked in place. I could be wrong though because I thought the same thing recently until it started moving around when I barely touched it. I was recommended the ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX by a Zalman...

    CPU Exceeding 206F.. Need Suggestions..

    I'm assuming TIM is Thermal Paste? If so, I have reapplied it, and it didn't help. I only thought it was the video card because when gaming, the temps get higher, but immediately after closing a game, the temp drops.

    CPU Exceeding 206F.. Need Suggestions..

    Hello everyone, I've got a quick question for all of you. While gaming, my CPU seems to get to temps of up to 206 degrees Fahrenheit. During idling or when I'm not gaming, it's around 110-120F. As soon as I close a game, the temps drop very quickly. I'm not sure if it's my current stock...
