One is the CPU ambient and the other is the core temperature.

Currently overclocked at 3.3 ghz with 1.400v. It idles at about 41 degrees celsius and loads at 50 celsius. The core idles at 29 celsius and loads at 40 celsius. My room temperature is around 80 degrees fahnreheit or 26 degrees celsius. Are these temperatures what I should be expecting? I...

I'd like to manually adjust the voltages for CPU-NB and NB but I can't seem to find any default voltages because they all just say auto.

I think my motherboard is having some issues with its sensors. in HWMonitor, it will not display voltage on the 3.3 or 12v rails. The 5.00 is displayed as 5.00. the VCore is at 1.4xx even though it should be at 1.3875. PC Probe displays the 3.3V at 3.53V and the 12V at 12.36 and the bios gives...

I took the 120mm fan out of the PSU compartment because my Antec SG850 is a bit big. I have nothing else in that whole compartment. I was wondering if this was a fine setup or I should put the fan back? (I'm currently using it in the main compartment as an intake)

I have a Scythe Mugen2 Cooler and I put just a little bit too much thermal paste and it spilled over the side. My idle temperature is at 29 degrees celsius at stock and my room temperature is usually around 75 degrees fahrenheit. Should I go through the trouble to reapply it or is this fine? I'm...

Since it has an unlocked multiplier do I need to change only that and don't need to bother with the ram:cpu ratio?

What would you say is the max safe voltage?

What about not spreading it?

Oh, sorry guys. I'm using the Scythe Mugen2 with Arctic Silver 5.

Is there a certain line I should apply it on like the Core 2's? I was just planning on putting a dab in the middle without spreading it and then putting the heatsink down.

I got my X3 720 yesterday and I looked at it from the outside and there appears to be some smudges on the CPU. What should I do? I'm worried this will affect the temperatures.
