Hey Guys, Just wanted to post some updates. So I finally got a set of alcohol wipes to clear the thermal paste. I am the biggest idiot in history, i found that I did not take a sticker off the surface of the heatsink for silver arrow. It was a translucent sticker, and instructions did not...

Today was 10F cooler, and ambient temps were 72F. Still hit the same problem with hardly a difference in Idle temp. Have ordered a 99.9% IsoPropyl alcohol to remove existing paste, but its going to be a week before it gets delivered. Would it be possible to easily remove the paste without...

Hi Friends, I created a new build and seeing 45C idle with spikes to 60C even if i open couple of tabs of chrome. I did a render test on DaVinci resolve and hit 95C in 5 minutes. AIDA64 hits 95C in 2 minutes. For the DaVinci resolve, i opened side panel and pointed a giant room fan at CPU...
