EMT64 Athlons have a maximum operating temperature of at least 65°C with most having maximum operating temperatures which exceed that.
I would bet mobo death as that heat sink is a OEM POS and as such I would expect came of a similar mobo
your wrong mate, the new 64bit come with the right amount of paste all ready on from amd...
thanks

Don't think so... not all the only processors that come with a thermal heat transfer heatsink pad from AMD are the retail processor in the box, the OEM processors and those shipped to developers and system builders do not.
The pictures in the appropriate AMD PDF document on this most certainly does not display heatsink transfer pad or paste leaking excessively out the side of the join... this indicates too much material being present unless of course AMD are also wrong.
