First are you over clocking ??? Second is your CPU fan right for your CPU??? What I found is most preople use way too much heat sink compound ... here's a tip ... first buy the good silver compound ... $9 at radio shack ... next clean off the old shit ... use black electrical tape to mask the area that the compound is suppose to be ... Next put a small dab and use a safety razor to spread it ... the end results sould be a thin square area ,, too much doesn't work ... if your CPU still over heats you still other problems ... I don't have a problem with box kits you know cpu/fan ... just know your system ... mine runs fine at 35c

What's the current "right" way to tell Linux (F10 in my case) to slow down the CPU speed when the core temperature is too high? (aside from the box's built-in "turn on wind turbines before it melts" option ;)
