TwitchFast Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 You don't put thermal paste on any part of a motherboardGiven that people do remove heatsinks and replace the paste on the north and south bridges, that's not true. In this case the heat source is likely the north bridge or the VRMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volta Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 try de-salting it, sometimes it can get clogged up in salt. Simply boil a kettle of water (maybe 400ml water), and submerge the motherboard, cleaning it. This should do the job. To dry it just stick it in the microwave which will re-calibrate the device. Then plug it back in and it should be good as new! I recommend doing this quite frequently (maybe once a month) to avoid this situation happening again.

And putting thermal paste on a motherboard is still a good idea, I don't quite see where you're coming from. Overclocking doesn't usually heat up the bridges unless you're messing with the RAM, which I'm confident he's not doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSH Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Buy a new Motherboard. Or a new computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightchillz Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Buy thermal paste from anywhere $20 Take heat sync and cpu's out, seperate cpu and heat sync ... wipe off old paste with alchahole or meths , re-apply generous ammount of paste and put it back togeather. be carefull to not to damage the pins! buy 1 or 2 more fans and a 2 way adapter so you can use the same plug on motherboard. fans can be mounted anywhere. and keep the case on.

Suit Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 You might want to upgrade or the fan of your processor or the processor itself. I would recommend upgrade the processor itself. Also, which fans do you have in your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xikenyonix Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have virtually the same spec PC pal, Mine doesn't get to those temps, although my PC is never running at 40% on CPU and RAM usage (Only when playing games etc). Something is Wrong with the MB or maybe the heatsync isn't mounted properly. Just an quess though. Good Luck. You might want to upgrade or the fan of your processor or the processor itself. I would recommend upgrade the processor itself. Also, which fans do you have in your computer? LOL at this^^, His processor is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
