Do you have another CPU to test on his mobo? Process of elimination will get you there but it sounds like a fried CPU to me if it's overheating like that.

On his Gigabyte motherboard, the CPU climbs steadily updwards (it's at 64C now sitting in the CMOS) with the same compound and heat sink (I have the heat sink running from a power supply connector, since when I attached it to the motherboard, the CPU climbed to 82C in about a minute and shutdown.) I've updated the BIOS, but I'm thinking the motherboard must be doing something weird to be heating the CPU this way. I can't check the voltages, as it just says "OK" for all voltages instead of showing actual numbers. Clever. T
