Happy Holidays to you!
The adhesive was three strips that was on the bottom of the heatsink,which was a STOCK HSF. I thought I seated the heatsink firmly down, and they still feel tight. Maybe I should invest in a good 3rd party heatsink fan…I really don’t want this new CPU to FRY. It should self shut off if it gets too hot anyway..right? or does it just fry and then I will have to but a new one?
Q6600 seems to be Very Hot! What are the normal CPU operating temperatures?
I installed the DualCoreCenter Temp monitoring software from the MSI (Micro-Star) Mobo Utility Disc and I also downloaded CORETEMP (v0.96) software to see what B gwan’on, and it shows that all four Cores are listed,
