I’ve recently transferred my motherboard to a new case and upgraded the CPU fan to one of those 'Arctic Cooling Silencer 64 Ultra TC' thingies while I was at it. Never done anything like this before but I think I pretty much followed the instructions. Bought some Artic Silver 5 and put some of that on top of the CPU before plonking the cooler on-top. The instructions did say to wiggle it a bit to spread it round but this didn’t seem to be possible.
Is 90+Celcius bad for a CPU? My motherboard’s a KV8-MAX3 and my CPU’s an Athlon 2800+ 754 pin, if that makes a difference. It kept making this annoying siren noise at me while it was on (well, until I unplugged the speaker wire).
What should I do? Does it sound like I might have maybe done the thermal paste wrongly?...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions / replies!
