Followup thread, if you saw my first one you know a bit.
TEMPS MEASURED WITH: CoreTemp, TAT, Speedfan, BIOS. They all stayed around the same, comparatively.
I recently got an E6600 and with stock speeds and settings it was idlingat 50c.
(MULTIPLE RESEATINGS OF THE HSF OCCURED DURING THIS TIME)
So I get a Tuniq 120 and it drops the idle at stock speeds to 35c, which is pretty high for a tuniq without overclocking, and my loads would reach mid 50s.
(MULTIPLE RESEATINGS OF THE HSF OCCURED DURING THIS TIME)
So I RMA'd the E6600 and it came today. When I'm putting the tuniq on one of the ****** screw heads comes off, which Ive read about happening. I decide I'm done with the Tuniq's terrible mounting design and take the backplate off, and put the stock heatsink on.
New processor ,stock speeds, stock heatsink... and I'm still idling at 50c. I applied AS5, which I'm very comfortable with doing, and seated it properly... im pretty sure. It's all locked into place and looks steady.
What is going on here? What could cause temps like this? My ambient in my case never rises above 35c, and i idle at 29c ambient.
Is my motherboard bent or something? Could that even be a factor? Is there anything that would cause the temps to incorrectly report, consistantly? I'm stumped right now and I'm really really REALLY pissed off about the time, money, and sweat I've put into this system only to run into multiple issues like this.
I ordered a zalman 9700 to replace the tuniq and it should be here friday. I only pray my temps drop considerably, or I get some info from experts about what might be wrong.
