I have an AMD 1 ghz (axia) chip. I am not overclocking it. I have a Alpha PAL6035 with what I think is the stock fan. With the case on my temps are running around 63 degrees celcius. I just bought a Taisol CGK760092. With the stock fan on that one, I get around 52 degrees. Can anyone tell me why the Alpha is performing so poorly? One thing I noticed, is that the clip does not go on the same way as the instructions state. It isn't possible to put the clip on in the direction that the instructions say to because the fins on the heatsink don't go that way. I am not using any thermal paste. I know there are things I can do to make it cooler, but I figured that 63 degrees was just way too high to start with.
