Ah cool, I'll check the mobo tonight. I know there are jumpers for that stuff but I've never fiddled with em - I assumed they were set properly as I've never had problems, but what you're explaining sounds dead on and makes complete sense.
The room is about 75 or so, not much above room temp. I have my central air set to kick on whenever the temp goes above 77/78, so it's not too hot.
Thermal paste.. I don't recall ever putting any on, and I actually didn't know about using any till fairly recently(!). Do any fairly popular retailers (Best Buy, etc) sell any or would I have to order some from an online shop (newegg)? I'm assuming that would drop my temp a bit.
