this is really frustrating and i cant figure out why the temp is so HIGH!! >:[
anyway i just bought a Rosewill RCX-Z1 from newegg to replace the old heatsink/fan for my dad's computer which runs on an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Newcastle. I installed this heatsink+fan along with ARCTIC SILVER 5. i'm almost certain that ive mount the heatsink correctly and apply the right amount of arctic silver...but i still dono why the temp is so high. it's at 70 C and my mobo's speaker is annoying with its beep alerting me of the high temp.
ive followed this official instruction from the AS5 website: http://www.arcticsilver.com/pdf/appinstruct/as5/ins_as5_singlecore_wcap.pdf
anyone has any idea what could have went wrong??
thanks in advance.
EDIT: btw, ive cleaned the hs base and the cpu heatspreader really well before i applied AS5.
