I tried the first step in sloving my heat issues. I took off the amd heatsink and cleaned off the thermal paste, the way instructed my amd. I reapplyed a 3/4 - bb size amount to the center of the chip, and reattched the fan and heatsink on my 170. Now I have even higher temps, great. Was getting low/mid 30s and on load 45C. Now, 45 on idel. Who knows on load. Bad idea. Should of left it alone. Now what. Can't put back on the thermal paste that came with the heatsink. wtf!
mobo temps still raising. 51C and CPU is in the 40Cs. Maybe I should just take it in?
