Hi All, The tech from Cooler Master visited. Turns out (and as most of you suspected) that the cooler was hopelessly installed. The tech was shocked. Anyhow, it was re-installed and now it sits tight on the MB. Temps are currently averaging between 29 - 38 degrees Celsius, down from 90 degrees.

Should I call the service center and ask them do something about this, like reinstalling it, or coming over to look at it? Do you think it would be better to call an authorized dealer to check it out rather than a third party tech?

What is the heatsink on my cooler? Does this come off separately?

Thanks... How do I know if my CPU is overclocking?

Thank you for the input. What do all of you make of the CPU readings? The motherboard model is - Gigabyte H11OM-S2

How do I attach the screenshot of the HWMonitor stats?

He cleaned off some because I had apparently put too much...almost the whole tube. Due to time constraints, I couldn't dwell on the CPU heating issue with him. I just wanted the CPU to start and ensure all my hardware was working fine. I'm never going to take the system apart except if it is to...

Praise God. The technician came and managed to get the system working. I might have plugged a wire wrong. I'm just so relieved that the CPU, MB, GPU and other parts are fine after the hell I put them through. As for the temperature, for the first time I saw temps in the range of 50-60 degrees...

What a terrible day it has been! I took the system apart out of frustration to figure things out. I may have made matters worse. I dismantled the MB and couldn't figure out 100% where all the wires went after that. I hope they went in the right places. Then, I took the cooler apart to try...

Hi, I guess I'll take the plunge and try to apply the paste myself. I hope I don't unsettle the other stuff. The reason I created this thread was to specifically understand the BIOS readings.

I looked in the pack that the CPU cooler came in and I noticed the thermal paste in there. It looks like it wasn't even used during the install. I suppose that's the reason why it isn't working right. I' afraid, however, of removing the cooler itself. It's not as easy as removing and...

What's a good aftermarket cooler to buy? And what brand of thermal paste do you recommend I use?

This is a very new system. The CPU, I assume came with a built-in fan. I wasn't around when the tech was putting it all together. The system is about 3 weeks old. My brother was around when it was being built. He tells me that the spare fan that I bought was not put in because the tech said it...

Hi, It seems like I have a CPU overheating problem which is causing my games to lag excessively. System specs - CPU - i5 6600 (Gigabyte) RAM - 8 GB GPU - GTX 960 PSU - Cooler Master 500 W OS - Windows 8.1 I looked up the UEFI BIOS readings today - BCLK - around 99 to 100 MHz CPU Frequency...
