I have recently just purchased a conroe system and have put it together. I have an E6600 and a p5w! i've put everything together, wiped off the thermal compound that came with the heatsink in isopropyl alcohol and have applied some arctic silver 5. (applied it twice, first time to check for concavity and it doesn't appear to be any, how do u see anyways?) The cpu temperature that i'm being reported in the bios is 64.5 degrees celcius while the mobo temp is around 30. I haven't installed windows yet, so i can't test with any other software. Is the mobo sensors reporting me the wrong temperatures? or is it that soemthing is wrong with my heatsink? The bios reports that temperature after just turning it on for not even a minute!
Please advise!
