Heatsink? Just the stock one that came with it.

You really sure I should go through all that? I had the same temp results with the thermal pad that came on the heatsink, and I followed the instructions for the arctic silver perfectly. Place small amount, 3/4 of a BB, lower heatsink straight down and mount.

Installed all the missing drivers and whatnot with no result. http://www.pcpitstop.com/techexpress.asp?id=RDE80W4NTQCS001R = Updated Test Results So what should I do?!

Ok, ran the rest again with what I thought was the fix for that, but thats just the soundblaster that doesnt have its drivers installed. I'll do that tomorrow and see if it clears anything up. If it does, that'l top the list for stupidest problem causer ever-ever, at least in my book.

Hehe I built it last weekend, but no there is no dust, the side pannel is off, and there is 1 rear unblocked 12cm exhaust fan. Cables are all well routed and out of the way. Re-linked test results above to see if that link works, works for me :/ I'm assuming since the cpu didn't show up in the sensor section of that program that means the sensors bad?
