I've found a second sun!
Well gentlemen, it seems that a small sun is growing inside my case. While I personally have nothing against suns, this one in particular is starting to worry me is all. You see, I just got motherboard monitor for shits and giggles and while my case temp remains at a nice 95 degrees my cpu seems to be at a boiling 233 degrees (F). This strikes me as odd. Would my bios not shut this down? I fear that this is innacurate on mobo monitors point and I cannot check the temp in my bios as I have no way of accessing them for reasons uknown. This must be an error I ventured.
I ran out to circuit city, got me a new heatsink and some arctic silver for 37 bucks all together. Applied a thin layer of silver to the center of the copper base of the heatsink after scraping off the thermal pad then running the copper bottom with nail polish. I then applied a thin layer - just enough to cover the cpu dye and put the two togehter. snapped them on and it's the exact same temp - 233 degrees.
What
The
Crap?
Why would I get the exact same temperature after I did this with a new heatsink even! Dont make sense.
What can you suggest to me, my knowledge chums here at SX?
