I have a Volcano 7+, and I've been getting very high temperatures lately... With the fan on its LOWEST setting, I get a case temperature of 28 degrees and a CPU temperature of upwards of 50 degrees celsius! Any idea why this is so high? I have adequate case cooling and I have applied Arctic Silver 3 to the CPU. It's only been about 2 days since I applied the Arctic Silver, and apparently there is a "burn-in" time for the compound which is 72 hours or more. Does that mean that my CPU temperature will get cooler after a few more days? Or is this another problem that I should look at? Thanks!
One thing I forgot--these temperatures are taken when the system is running Windows XP with a few programs running in the background. Not too much CPU activity going on.
