temp rise - bad contact?

[The Runner]

hey. I re-applied some AS5 earlier, a smaller amount that I did before.

I've seen an increase in my cpu temp by 2C (from 37C to 39C) and my PWM temp seems to of gone up quite a bit. (from below 40C to 44C)

what does the PWM temp mean? And are these temps OK?

How long was the first app of as5 in before you changed it? Give it a day or 2 to come back down. PWM temps is for the mosfets or the area around them suppling the vcore.

the last as5 coating was a day old.

My system prime95's the torture test @ 42C. Is this good?

I'd say you fudged the AS5 application personally, it would explain the higher temps, give it another shot, but use a bit less.

i actually found that it wasnt making good contact, as there wasnt much thermal paste between it. I've reapplied now and will give back results later.
