My Dual Harper - Asus Z7S WS living review *56K warning*

Sounds like the heatsinks do not make proper contact with the cpu's.
Try reseating the heatsinks . Are the fans running 100% at full load

Yeah the fans hit full rpm at I think 55c set in the bios. So basically anytime I push em past 50% load. Soon as I stop the benchmark they quickly, quickly go back down to idle temps, so I know the heatsinks are making contact.

I guess I will try re-seating em with some AS 5. They are using the stock thermal pads still and I've remounted em at least 20 times but making sure I mount the right heatsink back to the right cpu and in the right direction. UGH.

It's ok I guess, I have a new tube of AS 5 and some isopropyl alcohol handy so I guess it's worth a shot. Y'all think I should run it for a day, let it cool for a day, then prime95 to let the paste burn/cool or just go for it?
