Hi, all
I have an 8350 and a cooler master Hyper TX3 mounted on top using
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound
If I run a CPU stress test, my temperature dials up to 65 degrees and the SaberTooth 990FX does me a favor and cuts power.
I have mounted the TX3 both directions, and can confirm the fan is operating - seems constantly 2250RPM, with not much variability at all.
I clean both the cooler and cpu well, apply compound and then clip her in for the ride...
When running Prime95, the temperature just ratchets up until the motherboard cuts power - less than a minute- at about 80 degrees
What should I be looking at here? New CPU cooler?
