Hi there,
I have a supermicro x7dwa-n motherboard installed (as purchased) into a supermicro server case SC743. I have (since I bought it) been having overheating problems. The only way I could rectify it was to take the case side off.
I want to sort this problem out. I have re-seated the cpus using silver thermal grease. A blob of grease on the cpus after cleaning the cpu & heatsink. Then tighten up the heatsink onto the cpu using 4 screws in a diagonal fashion...i know its quite nerdy
It is now better, but still getting too hot. Under full load and with case closed, the temp of the first core still manages to reach 82 degrees C. I was told it should be about 60 degs under full load.
Any ideas ?
