Cpu temp running hot

i am useing amd 3200+ cpu on msi k7n2gm-v mbbo my temp kept getting hot 47c to 60c vcore 1.55 i try using arctic silver but can't get the temp down or is this okay. also my next ? i have my fsb set to 200mhz it boot up as 1800 ghz is this right.or should i clear the cmos and re do the paste.what the right for a 3200+ please everyone bare with me i am new and not show what to do.
                                                                                 thanks to all

OK, then:
1 Reseat the processor: Power off and unplug the power cable, open case, take mobo out, take off the heat sink and take the processor out. Clean the bottom of the heat sink and the processor die with strong alcohol and/or aceton, so there is no thermal grease left. When done, add a small drop of Arctic' on the very die - the metallic rectangular of the processor - and put the heat sink on. Make sure the heat sink fits properly, with the 'heel' in the correct end.
2 Please tell us a bit more about your system. Memory and PSU is very interesting, but also heat sink, and more.
PS When clearing CMOS there must be no el. in the system. You have to pull power cable out. and I sugges you push the power button a couple of times to drain the last el. out. But this you knew, I think. DS
PPS There used to be a LED telling you when there were power on the mobo. Wouldn't it be good to put one back?! DDS

  • CPU Temp too hot!!

    Are these temperature readings normal?
    Board = Neo2-PFS

    I live in Hawaii by the ocean, but it's not that hot here.  I monitored these temperatures at 4PM during a windy, cloudy day.  My temps don't go below 50C on idle unless it's early in the morning, say 4-6AM when I'm doing papers before school.

    Hi "dalnap"
    Now I presume you are using the stock intel cooler that came with the P4.
    Those temps are too high and I would definately not run your processor at load until we fix it just incase.  
    Now wot u need to do it reseat your heatsink on your processor.  
    This means you will have to take off the heatsink and clean it with any heatsink cleaner or isoproppyl alcohol till the old thermal pad or paste is removed
    Then put a little bit of thermal paste in between the heatsink and the processor (about the size of a grain of rice) and put the heatsink back on top of the processor.
    So if you havent got any you will need to buy some thermal paste, Artic Silver III is meant to be good but if you use that it voids your intel warrenty so buy any other descent thermalpaste.  
    For reference if you are using stock your CPU temps should be about:
    Idle 40C
    Load 60C (max)
    Hopefully this helps otherwise there are many other experienced users that will help you!  
    Good Luck

  • Safari webpage preview fetcher high CPU usage, runs hot Macbook Pro, fan

    Even when turned off in Safari Preferences, safari webpage preview fetcher starts up and starts using high CPU % (99.8% when checked on Activity Monitor!). Macbook starts running hot, fan starts running on high. You can force quit safari webpage preview fetcher in Activity Monitor, but it starts itself back up again!

    Well, I disabled safari webpage preview in preferences, and rebooted, zapping the pram and it hasn't restarted, and I haven't had the high fan / hot running so yay!

  • CPU temp too hot on macMini(mid2011)

    CPU temp up to 82°C, fan blowing hard after half an hour use , even with few apps on.
    Know this issue?
    Thanks for helping

    This is a known issue, discussed in many places. I find having my mini stand up on its side lowers the temperature considerably.
    If I were you, I would have the cpu monitor on to see what app is using the cpu so much. Usually my mini runs cool except when rendering 3d scenes or compiling program code. Even well implemented games like Portal 2 or Trine don't cause much heat.
    But the mini does run hotter than you would like, can't help that really

  • CPU temperture. running hot?

    hullo.
    I got a:

    Is this too hot?
    This has been my first computer that Ive built, so Im not sure if Ive put enough pastey stuff on the proccesser or not.

    Hello! No, it isn't alarmingly high. What is telling you the temperature readings? I would appreciate if you say BIOS readings.

  • Fan speed not increasing when cpu/gpu runs hot (causes black screen)

    I've spent a good deal of time trying to narrow down the cause of all the crashing to black screen issues that I've had in both boot camp and OSX. I had first noticed it in boot camp while playing fallout 3 and warhammer online. After playing for awhile, when the gpu hits around 85C, the screen will turn black and the audio will begin looping. A cold reboot is then required.
    Running COD4 in OSX led to the same problem. I figured it might be an SMC issue so I reset it and launched COD4 again. The first time I tried, I thought I had fixed it but when I launched the game again, the fans no longer sped up to cool down the machine.
    I believe there is definitely something wrong with the SMC on my machine and the same issue may be affecting several other people who have reported the black screen problem when gaming. Will speak to apple tech support tomorrow to see if there's an SMC upgrade coming up. If not, I'll need to replace the MBP AGAIN. What is up with apple QC these days?

    I keep sounding off about this in every thread I see it mentioned because it's really a problem for me.
    I have had this occur with Postal 2, Eternal Lands Client, and 4x4 Evolution 2. My Macbook Pro was manufactured Nov. 5th and I received it on the afternoon of Nov. 13th, purchased from the Apple online store.
    The screen doesn't just go "black", the backlighting actually goes off. The audio tends to loop. If I let it sit for a while I find "NVChannel(Display):" timeout! errors in the log.. But nothing indicating a panic, crash, or hang. Most times there is NOTHING in the log which is very disconcerting obviously.
    I ran an 8 hours extended looping hardware test with the AHT CD today and it found no problems.
    Tech Tool Deluxe find no problems either, for whatever that is worth. Yet it seems if I play any OpenGL based game I get an unpredictable, random dead screen and audio loop.
    With the various talk about temperatures, I find that it happens even if I just turned the computer on. It takes about 30 seconds to boot, and if I start a game immediately it often has blacked out immediatley.. No time to get hot. iStat Pro reports temps not even getting far past 65 sometimes when this happens. Full screen or windowed mode, still happens. But only with games. Any kind of video or screen savers or anything, no problems. Also, only with the 9600M GT.
    In another thread people have had success with exchanging their units. Not sure what happens for me having bought a CTO online.

  • CPU running hot

    Sorry guys to repost the same topic, but the original thread seems to have gone dead and I'd like to get some more information from you guys before I make another move like trying to RMA hardware. Original post here. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=104304.0
    The basics: CPU is running hot. ~60C +/- 3C at idle. I have done the following to try and correct the problem...
    1. Replace both stock 37CFM fans with 94.5CFM Thermaltake fans.
    2. Rewired the case so that no wires except SATA cables are in the direct path of air from front fan to rear fan.
    3. Removed thermal compound from the stock Intel heatsink/fan and applied some Antec Formula 5 thermal compound.
    Temps are still in the 60C area at first idle shortly after starting PC.
    I just finished playing Quake 4 online for about an hour and temps were approximately 77C when finished.
    I cranked both case fans up to 2800 RPMs (according to system information viewer) and opened the case. I even have the front of the case open so that the front fan filter isn't restricting airflow. I have been surfing the web with the case open and fans at full speed for 15 minutes and my temps are between 73C and 75C. The CPU fan is only running about 1400 RPMs.
    I am not overclocking.
    I am using System Information Viewer v3.19 to monitor fan speed and temps. Core Temp shows similar temp readings.
    I am convinced that something is wrong whether or not it is the heat sensors or the CPU I am not for certain, but the heatsink is firmly seated, I am confident in that. I have checked several times. The heatsink is also slightly warm, but no where near hot to the touch. It barely feels warmer than body heat temperature. The computer has never turned off or been unstable. The air coming from the rear fan feels cool to my hand.
    What would you guys do in this situation? I am hopelessly lost in trying to figure this out and I would like to get some good data before the return period has expired on my hardware. I have a Zalman 9700 cooler arriving on Friday, but from what I have read on this forum I don't see where the Zalman is going to make the life changing adjustment that it seems that I need. I have pics of the case in the original thread.
    Thanks.

    Hmm....
    Sorry that I never noticed your first posts...
    I will try to read them when I get a free min or two ...
    I did glance at one of your pictures...
    Ummm....
    If you are using a matched set of memory they should not be in banks A and B as shown in your pictures...
    you should have one in a green slot and another in an orange slot...
    This will allow them to run dual channel...
    I also noticed that you mentioned checking the seating of the heatsink on the CPU, a "million times"
    I know you didn't check it that many times but ...
    Checking it more than once or twice, your run the risk of creating air pockets between the cooler and the cpu...
    Just so you know ..
    Even with the intel cooler (it is a decent cooler) your temps shouldn't be as high as your are experiencing...
    I know you are going to groan when I make my suggestion but ..
    You need to download the pdf for using artic silver with a dual core Intel processor..
    read it... print it .. tattoo it to your chest .. but follow its instructions...
    clean the cooler surface, it should be smooth and clean ...
    remove the cpu from the motherboard, clean the surface (and make sure there is no plastic film on it from the factory)
    put the chip back in its socket and lock it in ...
    put the artic silver on the cpu as directed... should be just a small line as shown in the pdf..
    mate the cooler to the cpu and lock the cooler in place, click in diagonal opposite corners first, listen for the snaps
    You have decent case .. a decent power supply...
    Since you have large fans, there shouldn't be a reason for you to run them at high speed...
    Reading your posts, all that comes back to me is your high cpu and core temps..
    Since your aren't overclocking the only cause for that would be a poor heat transfer between the cooler and the cpu...
    So reinstalling your cpu and cooler is the only logical thing to do...
    Also, after you move your memory into the correct slots (one in a green slot and one in an orange slot...
    go into your bios, make sure your:
    FSB is 266
    for testing put the the memory speed, timings, and all voltages to their default (or auto) setting then turn the power switch on your power supply to off..
    Please ... reinstall your cpu and cooler ...

  • Running hot after mountain lion install

    Hello,
      I just installed Mountain Lion last night. I had no issues at all. Checked out some of the different new features and all seemed to work fine.
    But this morning after I turned my MacBook Pro back on is where I noticed something odd. I was using messages and also Safari. It was working great. My baterry was at 99% when I first turned it on. After about an hour of use I noticed the battery down to 67% and that Safari was not running as quick. It's not that it was not responding just running slow. Real slow. So I turned it back off and let it sit for a half hour and started it back up. Seems to running ok now. I even have a few programs open as well as the last time.
    I just wanted to post here to see if anyone else had this issue. I think it's isolated and maybe some things didn't boot enough after install. Thoughts on this from anyone is greatly appreciated. Again it is runing fine and the slowing issue does not seem to be there now.
    Thank You

    Yes, me too. My Activity Monitor shows Safari Web Content absolutely destroying the CPU, exceeding 100%. Slows the whole system up just browsing.
    Just compared browsing a facebook album in Chrome and Safari 6. Safari crawls through it with the CPU jumping immediately to over 90% while Chrome's processes barely ever reach 20%.
    Also read this which suggests Spotlight's indexing is a potential cause but on my MBP (late 2011) Spotlight isn't shown as active:
    http://gigaom.com/apple/is-mountain-lion-too-hot-for-your-mac-to-handle/
    and also the CPU only runs hot while on Safari. Processor-heavy XCode consistently runs fine.
    Assume a Safari bug. Anyone else experiencing this?
    UPDATE: Restarting Safari makes a massive difference both to the real memory and the %CPU figures.

  • High CPU usage - Rapid Battery Drain - Running HOT

    Looking for help.. PLEASE!
    Z10 - Model STL100-3 Software release 10.2.1.2179
    Symptoms;
    Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, I notice my Z10 getting hot in my pocket. I run the device monitor App and see a very high CPU usage, which consequently drains the batter very quickly.
    I've tried all the solutions from every support group thread and blog. And I mean ALL!
    Pulling the battery
    Replaced the battery
    Removed the SIM
    Deleted G Mail
    Removed all 3rd party Apps (2)
    Stopped email sync
    Stopped calendar sync
    Turned off all radio
    Turned Off Wi-Fi
    Let it sit for hours, even days to let it finish doing whatever its trying to do
    Etc Etc Etc.
    Finally, I called BB support, they wanted $50 to talk to someone. I told them the issue, they said the device is bad and must be replaced. I said its software related!! They said.. no, its a hardware issue. Device is under warranty and they want me to just go get a new one. I don't want a new one, I want a fix! Stop the waste of BB $
    Temporary solution
    Eventually, I decided I would do a restore, back to the factory settings, and here's when I found something
    I run BB Link, connect the device, do a back-up... and LOW AND BEHOLD.. this fixes the high CPU usage and the device runs great, very cool, low cpu and extremely long battery life.
    Sadly! .. this problem reoccurs, after a few days, sometimes after a couple of weeks and just out of the blue.
    I can force this fault to occur, simply by doing a restart of the device. Sure enough, it will run hot, use all the cpu and I will have to do a back-up to get it to settle down again. I've tried to wait for the so called 'indexing' to finish, but it never stops running with high cpu and doesn't help.
    Can any one tell me whats happening and how to make this a permanent fix?
    There are hundreds if not thousands of people having very similar issues, and many different methods to fix it. Its my belief that there is an underlying bigger problem that relates to all these differing fixes, but as yet.. I cant find it and none of these fixes work for me. For now... I will keep doing the occasional back-up and hope I get a response that can help.
    Thanks to all that read this.

    The heat may be normal. After a little water damage incident, which I repaired, I disassembled my Z10 the find a small heat sink will thermal compound. This helps dissipate heat efficiently. I found a large number of air bubbles and possibly a large air pocket by the way the paste stuck to both sides. I removed the old paste and replaced it with artic silver paste and the z10 has been much much cooler. It use to run about 105*f and now it is around 85*f.
    See this thread I posted for before and after pictures using a thermal imager.

    @Curve8530 .....as much a s your discovery is appreciated, I hardly believe that most people will actually dismantle their phone to remove the paste and replace with arctic silver. Besides, what you are doing is not a fix for the actual problem....
    In most cases, this heat is associated with apps using the CPU resources beyond the normal limits.
    As an easy fix, finding and removing the app(s) in question followed by a reboot, solves the issue. In some cases an OS reload is necessary.... but under no circumstances I would even remotely suggest to any member to dismantle their phone and do what you did...     

  • Imac 27 runs hot as ****, won't sleep, and cpu runs wild in w7

    I have been having audio issues with the imac 27. plugging headphones or speakers causes cpu to run crazy, the mic in the triband trrs jack does not work, and the imac runs hot, and will not go into power saver mode.
    When I came in I found my nephew who was listening to some music on the imac, and I felt the back top of the imac and it was hot as ****. I almost burned my hand. I realized then that he had plugged his headphones in.
    Unplugging the headphones or speakers can solve some of these problems.
    But, this is not an acceptable fix.
    Please contact Apple and urge them to fix these sound card issues.
    If anyone does not have these problems in w7 with the imac 27 even after the latest bootcamp and imac updates, let us know right here. I think this affects every one of the late 2009 imacs and maybe some earlier ones too running windows 7.
    Here's the post I recently ran on the headphone jack issue.
    Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
    Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
    Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
    Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
    Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
    Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
    When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
    As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
    Thats it.
    Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
    Best to all!

    Yes, I have been dealing with this problem since early January. I just can't believe that apple would not have the necessary driver for the sound card in the Imac 27! That's like trying to run a race and not bothering to tie your shoes! How can they not have something as basic as the sound connections working???
    I was encouraged to buy a top of the line imac 27 because Apple had told us that bootcamp would enable Windows users to use the machine just as if it were a native windows machine, then they don't give us the **** drivers to use the trrs mic jack. And you can't use the external speakers without the cpu going wild and heating up like a pot bellied stove.
    This is really disheartening and now I am really thinking I made a big mistake. I wouldn't mind migrating to Mac gradually, but I have lot of scientific and other programs that require windows. At this rate there will be thousands of other mac buyers who will never make the same mistake again.
    As you can see I am quite angry about this, and getting more angry with each day Apple ignores every imac purchaser who expected to use Windows on the machine! Is the software for a sound card driver that difficult?
    Having a computer which doesn't have sound that works correctly, is like having a car without seat, you can still drive it but isn't very **** comfortable.

  • CPU runs hot after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I upgraded to SL last weekend and noticed the next day that the fans were constantly running really loud. After extensive research (there are some other threads about this, but no solutions) and troublshooting, here's what I've learned:
    - It's not related to Spotlight indexing, as the problem continues after indexing is complete
    - PMC and PRAM resets don't fix the problem
    - Activity Monitor shows a process in the root called "ptmd" (platform thermal monitor daemon) consuming over half of my CPU. Killing the process resolves the issue, and the system still seems stable, but I don't know what it is, why it's running, and if it's really ok to kill it. I've read that some computers run it at startup and then automatically kill it, and others constantly run it. But I don't know which category my computer falls under. Either way, I've never had to kill it before upgrading to 10.6 and shouldn't have to kill it after every restart now.
    - iStat shows my CPU getting to around 80°C+, and my fan running at 6000rpm+. Once I kill ptmd, the CPU temp will gradually drop below 50°C and the fan drops to under 2K rpm.
    I don't remember if the problem started right after the upgrade or only after running software updates in Snow Leopard... But I started fresh -- I erased my HD and installed SL fresh. No problem until I ran the 10.6.3 combo software update, then the ptmd problem came back. I've since done another fresh install and am doing a step-by-step software update. I have 10.6.1 installed with no trouble, even after a restart. I'm currently downloading 10.6.2, which I expect will introduce the issue again, based on the fact that that's where people started having problems in the forums that I've read. I suppose I could just find the most recent "safe" version (probably 10.6.1) and stick with that one, but I would like to make sure that the other important updates are installed. Has anyone else heard of this? Is there anything else I can try?
    A secondary concern is that I only ran a Time Machine backup after installing 10.6.3 (I know, stupid to not backup before the upgrade). If I restore my backup with Migration Assistant, am I going to just re-introduce the problem on my computer?

    According to the man page for ptmd, the ptmd daemon "relays to hardware any OS notifications effecting thermal conditions." IOW, it is just the messenger sending messages from the OS to the hardware. If it is using a lot of CPU time, the OS apparently very frequently thinks thermal conditions are changing & that the hardware should know about it. Thus, high ptmd activity would seem more a symptom than a cause.
    Also, while my MacBook is a 4,1 model & not a 2,1 one like yours, the ptmd process terminates after startup, so assuming they are sufficiently similar in terms of thermal management it may be that whatever is failing to tell the process on your MB to terminate after startup is part of the culprit.
    This is unlikely anything in 10.6.3 -- on all my Macs, the modification date of the /usr/libexec/ptmd file suggests that it has not been changed since 10.6.2. In fact, it is unlikely anything in any Snow Leopard update, since most users do not have this problem, regardless of model or 10.6 version.
    I realize you said you did a fresh install & the problem disappeared, but for this kind of test to be definitive, you cannot allow any preexisting file that might have an adverse effect on system operation to remain active. Unfortunately, there are many types of files that can do this. Sometimes these files affect nothing besides the update process itself, making it seem as if the update is the cause when it actually is an effect.
    Since there are so many kinds of files that can have adverse effects, it can be difficult to identify the offending one without first doing some diagnostic detective work to determine where it might be lurking in your Mac. A good way to start is to start up in Safe Mode, which loads only essential system components (see Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? for more about this). If the Mac doesn't heat up in Safe Mode, then you know one of the non-essential items is the cause.
    You can determine if the problem file is in the user or system domain by creating a new, temporary user account. If automatic login is enabled, temporarily disable it -- it is important for this test that you log into this account for the first time immediately after restarting the Mac, before logging into any other account. If the Mac doesn't overheat now, then you know the problem is somewhere in the normal user account's home folder.
    If you are willing, try these tests & let us know your results. That will make it much easier to suggest where the offending file might be & what to do about it.

  • CPU running hot and fans maxed out while no programs are running

    My 2007 MacBook Pro 3,1 suddenly started running hot (CPU-85°C) and the fans are ramping up to 6000rpm for no apparent reason. Nothing but Firefox running. I just downloaded a new Security update. Is anyone else having these issues? Any fixes out there? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

    There are a couple of things to try.
    First, I always repair permissions before and after adding anything from Software Update. May be overkill but I've never had any issues with updates on any of the family's eight OSX computers.
    Second, are you running any anti-virus software other than ClamXav? Most commercial packages create more Mac trouble than they prevent.
    Third, use Activity Monitor (AM) to check for runaway background processes. IMPORTANT: to catch the culprits, you have to change Activity Monitor's default setting of "My Processes" to "All Processes." Otherwise, most of the likely suspects are going to fly under the radar. Also quit any apps you have launched. Click AM's "%CPU" column to sort by how much of the processor each background process is using. Let it run about a minute and observe what shows as the largest users. In either Leopard of Snow Leopard, no background process should show over about 5 percent.

  • Motherboard/ CPU running hot

    My Macbook Pro CPU was running in the 90sC so I took it in...they replaced the logic board..brought it home and now my CPU runs around 60degrees but my motherboard is now running in the 60s as well.  Is this a normal temperature for both?

    Post over on MacBook Pro forum
    And yes they run hot.

  • CPU Running *HOT*HOT*HOT*

    Hello all!  I just purchased an 865PE Neo3-F MB with a P4 520 LGA775 processor.  The CPU came as a retail package so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, there is a problem with the MB or a problem with the CPU  (most likely the first of the list:)
    Anyway, the CPU temp starts off in the low 60's (degrees C that is) and rises from there until the computer powers down.  I've never seen this before with any of my computers, though I've never owned a P4.  The heat sync came with thermal paste already laid out over the copper base so I just installed the CPU then the heat sync on the MB and figured all was good.  It does seem that the CPU and heat sync are making contact because there is a layer of thermal paste residue on the CPU when I remove the heat sync.  Could there possibly be a BIOS issue?
    Thanks in advance!
    Peace:)

    Uh, you need to re-apply thermal interface material, TIM,  if you remove a heatsink.  Clean the heatsink and the Integrated Heatsink Spreader, IHS, of the CPU before applying new thermal paste or grease. I recommend Artic Silver 5 as a TIM. Apply it according to the instructions on Artic Silver's website.
