Hey there,
Recently I got an Asus P6T Deluxe (X58) and have an I7 920 OC'd on it @ 4ghz. I noticed earlier that my clocks had gone down to 2.4ghz and so I quit my game, ramped up my fan speed and a few mins later they returned to 4ghz. I touched the the big heatsink in the middle of the mobo that connects to the NB, mosfets etc. via heatpipes and got a nice little burn on my hand (It was extremely hot). As a quick temporary fix I got a 92mm fan and placed it over the heatsink running at its max speed (It can only go 1500rpm).
I have a new cpu (X5650) coming this week alongside 2 new 140mm fans for my Corsair H110 (https://www.scan.co.uk/products/140mm-nanoxia-deep-silence-pwm-ultra-quiet-pc-fan-700-1400-rpm) so I'll be able to get anything done to the PC that I need to. I don't actually have a proper way of measuring the temps of the motherboard because the sensors seem to be a bit dodgy in HWmonitor (Reporting anywhere from 0c to 600c lol, apart from one that sits around 50c-60c which i doubt is right because the heatsink is at least 80c).
Do you guys have any suggestions for me? I tried removing the heatsinks etc. on the vrms and chipsets but I popped out the pins and simply couldnt lift it off (Was a bit afraid of damaging them, unless it takes some force to remove?) so I could try forcing that off and replacing the thermal paste?
Also I think I may need to introduce a little more airflow into the case and was thinking would it be okay if I changed the rear 120mm exhaust to an intake and then put the 2 stock 140mm fans from my h110 as low rpm exhausts in the top when I get my new fans?
I'm just a bit unsure on where to go from here tbh.
Thanks in advance
