I've never bothered dealing with any of the stock coolers myself, but apparently it's a bitch to have it seated properly even if it seems like it is. If you are absolutely sure that it IS seated properly, that you are applying thermal paste properly (not too much, not too little), and that voltages are indeed fine in the BIOS...then something is wrong with the CPU.
Also, use Real Temp if you aren't to ensure temps are being displayed accurately. |
Applies TIM like i always do, everything is at default. I even took the mobo out of the case completely to make sure the pins were all catching the underside of the motherboard completely. Both realtemp and coretemp are showing the same values. And i have no idea what Intel's policies are on defective units considering it's been a few years since i bought it. what a shit situation.
