After installing the Coolermaster Hyper48 HSF, my CPU temps are absolutely astronomical. After much fiddling about (tightening the retention device, checking application of thermal compound, refitting HSF, etc) the BEST i have managed to achieve is getting my CPU's idle temp at 71 Celsius!!! This is clearly not good enough, yet i have followed the installation instructions to the letter and cannot figure out where i have gone wrong. Can anyone offer any suggestions?? My complete system specs are in my sig, including case cooling, if needed....

I posted this message in the CPU section before i spotted this one... I figured this might be the better section to ask this question.
