You have a short somewhere. Look carefully around the bolts and washers and make sure the heatsink sits right. Should be easy to spot.

you may have a bit too much thermal paste. but yes, there definatly is a short somewhere.

and no, there is no guarantee that this will fix it

some thermal paste is also conductive so that could be your problem

overheating is 2 red lights, my advice would be to completely clean off your chips and re apply the thermal paste, put about a grain of rice size peice of paste on the chips in the center and slowly tighten the heatsinks to evenly apply the patse and avoid excess spillage.

Your X-Clamp screws are too tight, try loosening them off.

scuba156 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 16, 2008, 11:54:00 AM »

there either too loose or too tight. remember, you dont want them so tight that it will warp the board, you just want to hold it all together
