The thermal paste is just as good as it is suppossed to be. Now my father uses AMD Athlon 64 3000+ with MSI motherboard with ATI 200 chipset. It also overheats. Its manufacturing tech is 90nm. I am having 65nm. My pc is generally using Oracle or complete CS3 from Adobe.
Man it does overheat and in the Gujarat's summer, well I have two 115V ndustrial grade fan ( one 4 inch and other 80mm ) Plus one 230 V industrial grade 80mm and one 12V regular 80mm extra fans running, still its bad.
What I am writing is out of my sheer experince or rather, what I have experienced. I am having 2 AMD desktops and both of them have same problem.
Anyways dear, thank you for the care you have shown.  |
Either your heatsink is not in proper contact with the CPU or your board is misreporting. I'm inclined to believe its the latter. I don't think AMD chips can take a temperature of 80 degrees. They'll throttle/crash way before they hit 80.
If I were you, i'd touch the heatsink and see if its hot. If it feels cold, its obviously loose contact. If its warm/hot and the computer runs fine inspite of sensors showing bloated temperatures, I'd just ignore the problem and carry on.
Also what program are you using to check temps? Use coretemp.
