I Repasted my FX5900 ultra. Mx-6. checked spread. Good contact all around die via flashlight looking between the cooler and the PCB.
Seeing idle temps in the upper 60’s and load temps near 100c. Is this typical? I can’t remember clearly what they were pre re-paste. But it seems like “idle” should be much closer to ambient than that. Forceware 77.xx.
Mounting is done by the reference plastic push clips. Possible there’s an air pocket on the die?
