I7950 TJ cooling problems?
Hey :)
If you hadn't seen my other post on my i7's high temp, it was 80-90 at idle .
now, I've spent about half an hour to seat the CPU perfectly and the CPU cooler (stock) as best i can.
i'm running 30-40 idle << huge improvement- at 80 the CPU cooler was heating my ram. TJ distance max 60.
The x58 sink seems to be very warm for idle.
Are there any small fans that could lower the temp on parts of the motherboard? (chip-set, North/South.
Thanks in advance, yes these questions are nub, but Ive worked my ass for the i7 i want it to last as long as possible.
