Heya all,
Like a cpl of other folk's am having some high temp's with my 2nd hand Z600
SPEC'S
2x Intel Xeon X5550 @ 2.67GHz (standard heatsink & fan)
Hewlett-Packard 0AE8h (Motherboard)
8gb Ram (4gb per CPU - Soon to be 8gb per CPU)
2x WD VelociRaptor 160gb HDD
Saphire Radeon HD 6770 (post Quadro FX 380)
The grahpics card is only 2 days old in the system and has made not neglagible inpact on temp's...
Upon arival home, windows 7 Pro x64 bit installed, heatsinks removed, CPU and Heatsink cleaned, Arctic MX-2 thermal past applied, heatsink re-set, boot up and .......... no noticeable change in temp's, heatsink's have been re-checked.
Right, so i'll wear the CPU's being at 45-50 C, but the motherboard being 45-50ish does still worry me a bit...
my main question is -
Is it woth me pulling the motherboard heatsink and re-pasting that and is it a sound idea - will supply a pic to highlight what i'm talking about
(and to make sure i'm talking about the right thing 
)
will be trying to source a cpl of the 3 copper pipe heatsinks as replacements..... possibly the water cooling from the Z440 or Z840 might fit....
Also, is there a better thermal past i could be useing? Am more of a tinker than a tech i have to admit
