Hi all,
I recently got new fans (Noctuas) for my PC to keep it a bit quieter. After installing the new fans, I wanted to check how the PC performed under a stress test - I used Aida64.
After about 5 minutes, the throttling line turned red (although it remained at 0%). The CPU temps were around 85, but maxed out around 92.
Unhappy with this, I decided to re-seat my CPU with some new Kryonaut Grizzly thermal paste. I didn't have any alcoholic wipes, so I used a dry paper towel to remove the old paste.
After re-applying (one small blob in the middle of the CPU), I re-ran the stress test. Unfortunately, now the throttling rises to about 5% almost immediately - so I stop the test after a few seconds. The CPU temperatures were rising to 100.
I tried re-applying the paste again, this time using the 5 blob method, but I had the same problem.
Any tips?
