Any program you recommend???
That intel one didn't work on my CPU.

Okay so i downloaded CPUID and that gives me the temp in the 60s.

MAX: 67/64/67/57
MIN: 62/59/60/54

So i guess Real Temp is the "odd" one.

I was going to suggest CoreTemp, but CPUID works fine, I think the 30 ish degrees must be wrong then

Yeah i figured.
Now i have to figure out how to lower these temps. I think i'll have to go out and buy the heatsink....and the Thermal Compound and the thermal compound cleaner.... AHHH there goes another $100!!

[thingie2]

it shouldn't be that much I don't think, about $50 for the cooler, about $5 for the compound, $10 max probs for the cleaner

Canadacomputers has the Artic Silver 5 for $8.
They have so many fans, i don't know which one to go and buy! Why does this have to be so hard??

go for the Xigmatech posted earlier in the thread, if they don't have that, go for an Arctic cooling freezer 7 pro. The compound I was thinking was about £2-£3 here, but it's about £5 so that's about right.

Yeah i think i'll go with the Artic Cooling. It's $42 on newegg.ca and only $28 on canadacomputers.
So it seems like a good deal.
And of course i'll pick up some of that Artic Silver 5.

I'll let you guys know how it pans out. I'll get the stuff tomorrow most likely.

[thingie2]

ok, cool, should get that CPU cooler
