prosser13 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Just reinstalled my AC64. My cooling setup: Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 w/ AS5 120mm fan at front 120mm fan at back Temps: 25 minutes Orthos load, 44 - 48C core temps. I applied the AS5 by: 1. Removing all the previous stuff with Akasa TIM remover 2. Putting a small blob in the middle 3. Spreading it round the CPU 4. Using a cloth to remove most of the excess so there was a thin film 5. Putting a tiny blob in the middle of the CPU 6. Fitting the heatsink Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 AS5 and it can take up to 200hr of power cycles to fully cure. Which then you should see temp drop. What are your room ambient temperatures? Normally at idle do not expect the anything cooler than 5ºC – 15ºC above your room ambient temperatures. If the cooler fan in plugged into the motherboard, go into the BIOS and set the fan to full on a lower temp. Is the A64 on straight not cocked to one side?

prosser13 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 OK, I'll keep Orthos going whenever I'm on the PC and hope that something changes I've got no way of checking my ambient room temps, cos I sold my Akasa Fan Controller, rough guess I would say 17C. The CPU fan is maxed out, at 2100rpm. It looks like its straight on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
