Amd Athlon x4 860k bad heatspreader?

[breckjensen]

Hi,



I got a new cooler for my cpu the athlon x4 860k, I got the cooler master 612 v2. My idle temps are lower, but still high (40-50c) and it doesn't get better from there, under light load and under voltaged to 1.4250 my temps still exceed 80c. I am good with computers so I have resat the cooler with artic silver 5 and with the cooler master thermal paste that came with the cooler, with the same result though idle temps are lower with the cooler master stuff. Like I said I am good with computers so please so ask me if I put the thermal paste on correctly. I already emailed amd about my concern but I want to run it past you guys, do you think the thermal paste under the heat spreader could not be correctly applied?



Please Help.



Thanks,
