[QUOTE=xZippy;17767034]Low amount of heatsink paste.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't think it would be possible to use too little... you don't NEED paste at all, really. Your CPU will just be a bit hotter than average, I know this from experience.
Stop overclocking it. That's not the 940's stock speed.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;17767284]Stop overclocking it. That's not the 940's stock speed.[/QUOTE] Don't recall saying I overclocked anything.

why did you upgrade? if i'm not mistaken all you have gained is 800 MHz
[QUOTE=User.;17771704]why did you upgrade? if i'm not mistaken all you have gained is 800 MHz[/QUOTE] Yes but there is a lot more to CPU's than just clock rate.
[QUOTE=ryanmh;17772010]Yes but there is a lot more to CPU's than just clock rate.[/QUOTE] yes that's true although i think we can safely say that a phenom II x4 and a phenom x4 9550 are fairly similar
Except for the whole 65nm vs 45nm thing. And the difference in cache sizes. And the AM3 socket. etc. etc. etc.
[QUOTE=User.;17772163]yes that's true although i think we can safely say that a phenom II x4 and a phenom x4 9550 are fairly similar[/QUOTE] Say again? First gen phenoms aren't even close to 2nd gen phenoms.
