According to ASUS Probe (I just uninstalled the old version, and downloaded and reinstalled the latest version) my CPU is at 73C. This was the reading on my cpu when I had a thermal pad on my heatsink/fan unit (some thermaltake model...very good model when i researched it, but I don't recall the name). Today, I took the heatsink off, took off the old crappy thermal pad, cleaned everything up, and used arctic silver compound and replaced everything, thinking maybe it was the thermal pad that was causing the temps to read so high. My new computer (athlon 2500 oc to 2.2ghz) runs around 50C under full load.
Is ASUS Probe correct? I'm positive the heatsink is seated on the cpu correctly, and all fans are working properly. I even have the side of the case open so no heat buildup from other parts will affect the reading. Any ideas?
