Also any advice on spreading thermal paste on a quad core cpu ive never done it before
I just put a dab- the proverbial "grain of rice- in the center and install the sink.
Subsequent removals have shown even and thorough dispersement over the heat spreader.
So no need to spread it about and stuff the heatsink its self spreads it thats good to hear just tried another clock
3600Mhz running temps of around 65'C using prime95 and coretemp as evevest appears to lie about temps by 10'C
which everest are you running fella? mine isn't lying. Also if you want to distribute the thermal paste by hand, i found just a simple piece of plastic like an old credit card worked wonders or put a a plastic bag over your hand and then going round in circles. I found that using the plastic bag helped alot getting right into the corners without going over the edge.
It really is easy, it's nothing to be bothered about ive put thermal paste down a good few times like. twice on my pc, once on my mums, and another one a mates. ohnestly fella you will know by the temps results if you've done it right.
Have you compared coretemp to everest i was shocked at the difference im using Corporate Edition 4.50.1330
but started using prime95 64 bit edition and core temp to find what my actual core temps are amd cp-z for cpu info
i dont use corporate edition i use ultimate edition 4.50.1330 i tried noseying at speedfan (latest upgrade) and that said the same as everest.
coretemp says the same as everest also
I never use speedfan just get dodgey readings and fan errors did with old pc as well very odd maybe just me.
New heatsink comes 2morow :D so will give it a good running in over night on a prime95 test for 12 hours and see hows it goes
what heat sink are you going for? link please
You both should be using RealTemp.
