CPU temperature EXTREMELY HIGH!

Hi

I just got my new Gigabyte Neon 775-BL CPU cooler. I took off the old one, cleaned up the old thermal compound, applied fresh thermal compound, and put the new heatsink perfectly.

However as soon as i booted the computer up, the processor temperature reaches 75* (in the BIOS)!!! Im sure i havent made any mistakes while putting the heatsink on... Can anyone help?

OMG, dont worry, Im such a retard - I forgot to peel of the sticker on the bottom of the heatsink... Temperature fine now - 32*

Well, being the first time I have installed a heatsink in my life, I reckon you learn something new.

Hah! Good catch, that sort of things happens during the learning process. Good job figuring it out yourself.
