    Hey guys. I'm new to your forums, but not new to the site. I have found plenty of good information here in the past and would appreciate some help again.

    So here's the deal. I just replaced my Motherboard, put in an SLI array, a 600w power supply and new a CPU heat sink/fan. Problem is, I see that in speedfan my CPU temp is idling at 39-40C and at load anywhere from 49-51C. From what I have heard, these temps are fairly high. So naturally, I put a new layer of Arctic Silver 5 on the CPU but I still see no temperature change. I was wondering if it could be the cpu heatsink I'm using. (Which is just an old Thermaltake Jungle) I don't ever remember seeing these kind of temps with my stock Intel heatsink. I would like to not have to purchase a new heatsink, but I can if need be.

    Okay so I just realized I was viewing other forums which had said that the temperatures I indicated would be considered high if I had liquid cooling. Which I do not have! yet... lol Thanks for replies!
