Over heating------help

luckyboomstick · 05-07-2008, 06:59 PM

amd 6400 x2, 3.2gh, coolmaster 750 psu, thermaltake gunmetorb hsu, 4gb ram corsair, 5 casefans (3 120mm, 2 80mm), 2 sli 8800 gt evga, x-fi plat sd.

my idle is arround 58-59c., with minimal load ie running i.e. 63-64c. I hear anything under 60c. is good range, I plan to reapply thermal paste, artic silver 5 (used stuff that came with hsu, and i think i put to much on 1st time) but will as5 make a diffrence??? someone told me all correctly should drop 10c. but that still makes my temps questionable....... so should i return my hsu for another----- any suggestions on which one---- specifically.... any help would be great,,,,,,
