I had a customer come to me wiht "high temps" on a rig he had built himself (also a 920) and he didn't use any thermal compound at all! I threw on some AS5 and his temps nearly when down by half. It's amazing what a lil artic silver 5 can do.
one question. why are you wanting a "silent" GFX card?
100c-105c under load.. over a period of like.. 1.5 weeks D:
Not for any specific purpose ;P I just like silent stuff.
Yah man I figured it had to do with a problem in the glue.
EDIT: Applied glue, then sticked my fan, now it's showing steady 50c temperatures instead of 88c on idle.
If only I had known, I could've avoided running my comp on 100c for 1.5 weeks for a measly 6 bucks.. I will dread if I see this chip break in the next 2-3 months. :P
On the positive, my SSD, GFX card and Noctua are on their way and will arrive here by Monday..... 8)
I would say you were right on the border of the chip shutting itself down. If you're not getting any BSODs then you should be fine.
Always expert advice here, so I ought I'd ask.. while installing my new cooler I managed bent 1 pin in my Mobo. Is this dangerous, provided it's not touching any other pins despite being a little bit off?
Edit: aight figured I need a new mobo now, learn to be more careful next time.
There we go! Installed new mobo and 2600 succescufully, albeit broke the hard drive when trying to transfer stuff in the progress.. I still got my SSD left.
How did you break your hard drive?
