The more I'm looking into it the more I'm relaizing that the only thing I can fuck up is putting on too much thermal paste or not enough, either way I should notice fairly quickly, based on chip temp. Can't get any worse than it is now, heat wise. I 've been running at about 45-65 C for over a year now, so I also know that the fan is under powered. for the heat that this thing is putting out. Stupid Prescott proc.....oh well, pc still going strong despite the crazy temps. We do shut it off everyday because it runs so hot and only start it up when we need to use it.
