Don't get arctic silver. Use Ocz freeze or shin etsu. Use hwmonitor instead of realtemp, what voltage is the CPU running at?
Your idle temps is pretty darn high.. What's the ambient air temp? You don't have any ghost processes using CPU cycles do u? Even my rig @4.4ghz has lower idle temp.
HWMonitor says my Vcore is 1.2V. I'll scout around for some Ocz freeze or Shin Etsu. As I said, I reckon the cooler is coming slightly loose off it's mount again. Even though I was quite firm. Seems to be idling at 35 now, although all I've done is open ps so far today.
Ambient temp is room temp.. ~20.
I am unaware of any ghost processes running at the moment. Looks clean in task manager :/
ps. what photos do you want critiqued ?
