| Win7 Ultimate 64bit | CPU cooler/temps? What CPU cooler are you using and what are your temps? I'm using a Vigor gaming 92mm Monsoon II and I've been happy with it for over a year but here lately my temps have been above "my" normal.  I've checked my fan speed and all that, so I'm kinda wondering if it might be going bad. I know how that sounds but mine is a Thermal Electric so it's not just a heatsink and fan combo. Idle 38* Heavy Load 3DMark06 during 1st CPU test 59* When I first got it my temps: Idle 29* Heavy Load 3DMark06 during 1st CPU test 42*  |

Blow them completely clean with a compressed air can and a vacuum cleaner. Also, some heatsink compounds degrade over time. If cleaning doesn't sort it out, consider removing the heatsink assembly, cleaning all the old compound off and replacing it with a smear of the best you can afford. SteveT |

| ultimate 64 SP1 | Re: CPU cooler/temps? that's also a nice cooler obviously the full copper construction stacks up the price.... but in all honesty most good HSFs will cool to about the same (give or take a few degrees) it depends on more variables than just the cooler....i.e. ambient temps cable management case fan configuration |

| | Re: CPU cooler/temps? You might clean up and reapply the thermal compound.
