Hello,
After replacing the old thermal compound on the stock heatsink with new arctic silver 5, the cpu temperature was still around the same, if not slightly lower, temperature.
The temperature went from upper 60s-70 Celsius, and now it's sitting at around lower 60s at idle.
Airflow seems really good, system is at stable 30 Celsius.
My question is if it will be okay to keep using this cpu until it overheats or gives me problem and force me to buy a new cpu. Or should I invest in an aftermarket cooler to try and revive this cpu? If it's idling at lower 60s Celsius, does that mean theres some damage done to the cpu?
I also tried checking the BIOS options, and I was surprised to find out that the CPU temperature was at 41 Celsius (what my cpu temp used to average around). After starting up Windows XP, I checked the cpu temp again, and it was back to 63 deg Celsius. Is it normal for the cpu temperature to go from 41 to 63 Celsius after starting up the Win XP OS?
