i have this setup
gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H mobo
passive cooling 2600pro gpu
asus 400watt psu
2 1gb hdd
phenom 2 x4 940 + zipang sychte 140 mm hsf
case aero m40
i had x2 5600+ before installing this processor
everything was ok. processor was idling around 27c
i upgraded bios to latest f10
than installed phenom 940
when i look at the temps phenom was idling around 55c and was going through 70c under load. (one time i saw 83c, that was before i read max temp for that processor was 62c)
i changed the thermal paste and reinstalled the heatsink to no avail.
it still idles at around 55c
i read something about 780 boards being uncompatible with 125 watt processors. but that seems last years problem. gigabyte site clearly states that it works with phenom 2 x4 940
what may be the problem, i really need some solution
thank in advance
edit : the problem is not only the temp but it crashes when under load.
