I know I did a thread a while back about Prescott cooling, but now I'm having trouble with my AMD 4400+. Basically, I have temperatures of 48C idle/58-59C load (any and all amounts of load). This is what I had with the stock heatsink and what I have now with a Scythe Ninja and Arctic Silver 5. I'm not sure if I'm just unlucky here or if I have too much paste (I used about a grain of rice worth) or what. Ambient temperature is about 27C-33C, depending on the sensor. Cooling is 8 120mm fans, so I don't think it's a problem with getting cool air to the processor.

I welcome any suggestions.
