Well right now I am running two CPU temperature finding programs, one came with my motherboard(PC Probe II), and the other is Core Temp(can search 'Core Temp' on google and you will find it.) Right now PC Probe II is saying that my CPU's(or just CPU, only one thing of it) is running at 76 degrees Celsius. I know this is bad in itself so I am going to change the fan from stock to another. Now, one thing I am really wondering is Core Temp says that my CPU's temperature, two of them are around 95 degrees Celsius and the other 2 are around 87 and 83. Which one should I believe? If I believe my motherboards program, I got to get it down a bit more, but if I believe Core Temp, I most likely got to get a liquid cooling system or something. By the way, this is while running a game. At Idle Core Temp says the temp is around 70 degrees Celsius and I'm not sure about my motherboards. -- Jath |

Addressing heat issues requires a thorough analysis, and to get help, you'll need to provide a *lot* more information. For example: Hardware details? (CPU, case, # and types of drives, fan setup, etc.) Room, case and CPU temperatures at idle and under full load. There are many possible reasons why your CPU temperature is too high, and changing your HSF may not help if the rest of your setup is flawed. |

I actually figured out how to decrease it greatly. I had been using the stock fan that came with the CPU, and I switched it out with one I had bought with it(not knowing it came with a stock) and it decreased the temperatures to idle, 54 degrees Celsius for two, 47-49 for the other two. At load, it's at around 60 degrees Celsius. -- Jath |

I'd be interested to know who is supplying such poor HSF's with their CPU's. |

You sure you put that thing together right???
peeled off the plastic before applying Thermal Compound in a nice thin even layer?? Clamped it down good and proper...opposite ends...bit at a time??? Maybe you could give us a few more details..Case? Motherboard? Fans? how many and where? How hot is it where you live?? peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.

Case is a old one, not sure what kind but it has 2 fans, one on the side and one in the back. About 120mm. Motherboard is a P5K Deluxe. The past few days it has been quite hot, going up to about 100 degrees. And yes, except for my Video Card failing on me and causing my computer to freeze constantly, everything I did runs very well now. Good layer of Arctic Silver 5. -- Jath |

You need a thermally advantaged case or something similar. You have
insufficient cooling and could easily take advantage of four to five 80mm fans. "Jath" wrote in message ...

Had the same heating problem with my Q6600 CPU which also operated between 70-72 celcius. Supplier changed it for a new one. Now running in early 40 celcius. Using fan that came iwth the CPU on a Gigabyte mobo and Vista Ultimate SP1. Trevor You have insufficient cooling and could easily take advantage of four to five 80mm fans. "Jath" wrote in message ...
