For a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, how should the thermal paste be applied? In a thin layer evenly across the entire surface or a single line down the middle as diagrammed in the link? http://media.photobucket.com/image/under%20the%20cpu%20heat%20spreader/ericeod/sidebysidecomp.jpg

I want to thank all of you for responding to such amateur questions. :) I have a few more if you don't mind.... I have a Thermaltake V4 case (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1390&ID=1967#Tab2) that allows for the following fan placements: Rear - Cooler Master Blade...

I've never been good at relating to Celsius. :o I'm really surprised that my system would be able to handle that high of temps, but okay. :confused: I'll keep that info around just in case. I'm sorry. I didn't make it clearer. I haven't had any BSOD's since I installed the H50 which...

Yes... I really didn't want to hear this... :( Is there anyway to tell this? Is it telling that I saw the higher temps move from one core (core 0) to a different core (core 3) after I re-seated the pump? I do think that I positioned the pump differently. Is there any kind of testing...

I read somewhere, yesterday, and of course I can't find the link anywhere, that I should be trying to keep the temp around 42c. The BSoD was after the temps had gotten over 145F. I'm not sure just how high it had gotten because I had stepped away from the machine temporarily. I did some...

I have moved most of an HP system over to a new case and am monitoring the CPU temps and need some guidance. Here are my specs: Motherboard: IPIBL-LA (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...t=3623090#N443) Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 @ 2.40Ghz (not overclocked) BIOS: American...

Okay, so Core Temp and Real Temp are giving me the same temps. New post for my next set of questions...

I have moved most of an HP system over to a new case and am monitoring the CPU temps using both Speed Fan and Real Temp. I'm getting differing temps with these and need some guidance. Here are my specs: Motherboard: IPIBL-LA...
