775 540J Overheating

Make sure the HS fan turned on/running properly. If you're decide on reapplying your heatsink/fan, clean the HS surface/back of CPU first before applying a new thin layer of thermal paste on the CPU die. If you're reinstalling the stock HS, make sure the clamps are unlock before locking the...

Is this the right stuff? Seen any better price/shipping on Arctic Silver?

You could buy and test them both to see which one gives better temperature results for the silencer/ramsinks/video card... ...and then you can send the one of the leftover you don't need to me^^ I used the last of my Arctic Alumina onto my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 HS. It lowered my CPU...

Wat is your V. Card's Temp ?

I get the same temp idle/load readings for the video card when running EA Tiger Woods 2004 and UT2004. Could it be the video card is overstressed alot more when running high resolution games (the NFS2:U is running @ 1024x1080 resolution, highest detail settings)? I have the Lian Li case...

Apply the paste no thicker than 'a sheet of paper'. Use the smooth end of a pocket knife or a Credit Card to help you out. Check HERE for further instructions/clarifications on specific pastes. Good Luck!

Wat is your V. Card's Temp ?

My computer restarted one time after I exitted NFS2:U @ 90-93C Load. I'm reading my temperatures from Windows OS: Video Card Properties Settings. Perhaps should I contact BFG to RMA it?

thermal grease

Hello, I recently purchased an Arctic Cooling Freezer HSF for my LGA 775 'Press-hott' CPU (RIG below). Directron sent it with many noticeable surface markings (from the manufacturer?), however, the HSF performed beyond well. I did notice surprising results with the MX-1 thermal paste...

HELP: Heatsink LGA775 3.2GHz w/ Arctic Alumina = 75C!!

TRUMPHENT, Thanks for the additional information! I found the additional information here from THG regarding the stock thermal pad. Both Intel and THG recommended using the thermal stock pad that's already on the HS. Thanks for all your help! BTW, do you think Intel will cover the...

HELP: Heatsink LGA775 3.2GHz w/ Arctic Alumina = 75C!!

TRUMPHENT, Luckily I have a removeable motherboard tray... Anyhow, you are somewhat right. When I uninstalled the HS, the outer ridges of the HS was the only part making contact with the CPU. But, I did do the light trick beforehand; to the naked eye it apeared they were in contact...

HELP: Heatsink LGA775 3.2GHz w/ Arctic Alumina = 75C!!

My LGA 540 CPU temperature runs at 44 to 50C without the AA. I wanted to lower my CPU temp so here's what I did: I had to remove the HS thermal compund and replace it with Arctic Alumina. First, I removed the gunk from the HS using Isopropyl alcohol and wiped it clean with a coffe filter; I...
