I know this question has been raised a lot, but I'm not sure what to trust. I'm using a
GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 motherboard and as stated previously E6300 Core 2 Duo with the packaging heatsink. At idle temperatures my BIOs was showing a temp reading of 60c, whereas Speedfan was showing 45-50c, and Core Temp was showing 60-63c. I only tested Speefan, but it was showing 75c at maximum capacity. Speedfan was also giving odd reports that the HSF was running at largely different RPMs. These could fluctuate anywhere from +4000 RPMs to -4000 RPMs at any given time. It would sit at 6600 RPMs then shoot up over a course of 5-10 minutes to anywhere from 15,000 to 24,000 RPMs when there was no visible or audible difference in fan speed. Anyway, I know the heatsink is notoriously difficult to properly seat but I'm fairly certain it's seated properly. The only issue I may have is that, when the heatsink was initially applied, I removed it because I couldn't get the computer to POST (realized I was using the unsupported OCZ PC6400 dual channel memory which was causing the problem.) So anyway, I removed the heatsink from partially dry thermal paste, and I dunno if taht would cause an issue or not because I've applied direct pressure to the heatsink with no visible results. When I touched the heatsink, it didn't feel more or less hotter than room temperature, so I can't tell what the case is. Any help would be appreciated, I dunno what to believe at this point.
