More Frustration
Ok, for all of you that need an insite on how my computer building process has been going take a look at this...
I Need Help Now Please!!! Anyway, now that i got my monitor working i went into bios and first this i looked at was how hot my system was running at. my cpu speed was 60+C. Im under the impresion that this was also my broken motherboards fault and i am now in the process of putting everything back in the boxes, sending back my mobo, and starting over when that comes. Just thought i should let you guys know.. |

Intel Pentium D 3.0 GHZ No OC'ing With an aftermarket Thermatake Copper Heatsink (35$) and 80mm fan. If its not my screwed up mobo im gonna be pissed cause theres no excues for that high of a temp in such a well ventelated case ( 2 12mm and 1 8mm fan in the case PLUS the cpu cooler PLUS the OCZ psu fans)

yea i used the thermal paste that the heatsink came with (the thermatake stuff). I cleaned the heatsink and processor with alcohol and then put a bit (about a grain of rice) and spread it out madddd even and thin. Then i put it in its socket, put the heatsink on, put the fan on (so it blows air into the heatsink) and booted up. Im guessing its the mobo but that doesnt sound to logical (im just praying on it). Anyway, is there anyway to disable the motherboard cpu fan output? Im using a stock 80mm fan and therefore dont need to use that port. However, when booting if i dont plug in a fan to the cpu socket on the mobo, it gives me an error screen (dragggg) anyway banking on my new mobo to solve the problem.

isnt the air supposed to go out of your cpu? not blow in. Those of you with dual-cores, is thermal paste applied differently than in single cores?

you might want to check for a bios update. sometimes the software for reading the temps isn't that good and an update is required
