I got the Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler and Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. I am going to use it on i7 950 processor. I didn’t completely remove the old thermal paste from my CPU. I just wiped off paste without using any cleaning method. Then I have installed this new Cooler on the CPU. All the installation was proper and fine. But when I used the PC, I got CPU temps were still 48-51C. I thought that I didn’t put the thermal paste properly. So once again I re-installed everything by following step by step method. Now I see slight decrement in temp but not more. Because temps are still in high 40's. What could be the problem?
