    Temperature problems with ASUS Rampage Extreme and Intel Q9550

    Update: I have reinstalled the cooler and applied AC5 as suggested by this article: http://benchmarkreviews.com/in...1&limit=1&limitstart=5 [Last picture] The temperatures have now dropped by 5 C. Hopefully as AC5 cures over time, temperatures will decline further.
