Ok I just bought a 1.2 GHZ Duron with an MSI Kt3 ULTRA. When I fired it up it runs at 49 C at idel temperature. I have not put a load on it yet, but this seems high to me. I am not sure, but I dont think a DURON should run this hot. What is a good temp to shoot for with a duron 1200 without OCing?
Also I am using a cheap no-name, white, thermal paste. I think this could be affecting it and as a reult I am going to get some Arctic Silver II. If I have allready applied the white stuff, do I have to remove it to use Arctic Silver? I of course will remove it from the HSF when i take it off the CPU.
If I have to totally remove the WHITE thermal paste off the cpu die, how is this done? Any info to these regards will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks
