am having major problem with my cpu heat, idle is around 60c, and can goes up to 99c when playing games. Just cleaned the fan and EVERYTHING and nothing changed. Thermal looks like dry out.

plan to buy a Phanteks PH TC14PE heatsink. does it fit in my mother board? will it decrease the temp? is there SOMETHING wrong with the cpu?Quote

This is the problem, if you CLEAN off the dry thermal compound and apply new, this should solve it. No new heatsink should be needed unless the one you have is inadequate to keep it cool with proper bonding of CPU face and Heatsink bottom.

I suggest Arctic Silver, although there are better ones out there. I haven't had any problems with Arctic Silver, but the cheap white stuff that comes in a small packet with heatsinks that dont have it already applied is junk and DRYS up quickly. I lost a UT99 SERVER because of the cheap white thermal compound.

One more question, will the Phanteks PH-TC14PE heat sink fit in my mother board? the heat sink looks huge.Only way to tell is to measure it...
NOTE: if it's actually larger than the existing one do NOT use it as the overhang areas will overheat...I think you should buy a cooling fan from ebay or ___________________, just a suggestion. At the same time ,you can search more information about your problem ,then make the decision.
