[QUOTE="htpcman, post: 11091, member: 10386"] Hi, If the heatsink is feeling cold this could mean that there is no good thermal contact between the CPU and the heatsink. AFAIK the Athlon has a meauring diode on the cpu die which means the temperature reported is the actual temperature on the silicon of the cpu. Now if there is not enough heat conduction from the cpu to the heatsink the heat can not be dissipated. I would remove the heatsink and check that it has good physical contact to the cpu with heat coducting paste (the gooey white stuff that should be on the cpu and heatsink sufaces touchning each other). Before re-installing the cpu make sure to clean both the top of the cpu and the heat sink with alcohol or aceton then apply a small amount of heat coducting paste and spread it evenly in a very thin layer on the cpu's metal top. Then re-install the heatsink and check temp. good luck htpcman [/QUOTE]
