Continuing from my last post "CPU temperature"........
My CPU is running above 90C.
I have not confused Celcius and F, I live in a country where we use metric not imperial. Although, I have to admitt I did double check last night.
I have been advised to use thermal paste, but I get the impression from the post's I have read that it would only drop the temp by 5C. Or is this simply the difference between Arctic Silver and other pastes?
I can rationalise that paste vs no paste would make a big difference. I guess something in the liquid phase will conduct heat more readily than something that is solid. Especially if it is made of something very conductive like silver. Has anyone measured paste vs no paste?
Is it possible that the temperature sensor on my Gigabyte motherboard is simply touching or closer to the CPU than that of an ASUS board. I am basing this assumption on the picture of the thermal sensor in Tom's guide to 17 coolers.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
