[SOLVED] i changed thermal paste and now thermal throttles.

[mark9442606]

i went from the paste that came with my water cooler to mx4 and now it thermal throttles on stock settings. which before i had 5.1 on all cores and it got mid 90s max before. but whats weird is that it scores reallllly high on both cenibenchs i scored 5100 on r20 and almost 2200 on r15. also i used the spreader that came with it and it was a litle bit bumpy but almost no extras.

Did you apply the proper amount of paste?

Is the cooler mounted correctly?

If the cpu is throttling then either the cooler isn't mounted correctly or the thermal paste isn't applied correctly. You should have a very thin layer of paste over the entire core heat spreader...no peas or X which can leave gaps.
