Is that normal? The mind boggles at how hot its going to be when I start to OC
It shouldn't be. Did you change out the thermal pad on the heatsink? If so, make sure it's making some good contact. Mines very very cool to the touch on stock. So, something is definitely wrong. But maybe that's because I threw some AS5 on mine.
