How do I deal with CPU Temp Issues?

my newly built pc just wanted to shut down b/c the temp hit 80C.  I opened it up and the heatsink, cpu, fan everything is not very hot. One spot (don't know technical terms for each piece yet) is a bit warm, but mostly it is cool.
I know this is an ongoing isue with the BIOS.  Is this the only way to fix?  Does the most recent really fix this?   This is my first built pc and it took me a few days to get everything working.  I don't want to mess with the BIOS Flash already as I have never done one.   Do I just ignore it as long as everything feels cool or should I update the BIOS?  Just want to get a feel for what others are experiencing.
The thermaltake fan is set to auto.  Perhaps I should just set it too always be on high, which sounds like a little rocket ship and drowns out the TV in my bedroom.
One last REAL STUPID question.  Since the temp readings aren't accurate, what exactly is too hot to the touch?  Are we talking boiling water hot, where I pull my hand back?  Right now the heatsink is warm, but not so hot that I can't keep my fingers holding it.

the case is the Raidmax 668Scorpio.  There is one fan at the top, two in front, two in back and one on the plastic door.  I think the front back can blow air in or out.
The heatsink is the Thermaltake Venus 12. I set it to blow automatically.  It was spinning about 4200rpm when the temp hit 80C.  I did apply compound just on the cpu so it does not cover the heatsink fully, but only on the piece that touches the cpu.
I just turned on the pc after shutting down a few hours ago.  I went right into BIOS and the CPU starts at 66C.  It is cold to the touch, xso no way its 154F.
This doesn't leave me much room to go to 80C and it's not even loaded up windows yet.  While I'm typing this on my Dell, I see it has just hity 69C, while just sitting on the BIOS screen.

  • How do i deal with 'security certificate' issues on my iPad2? I'm unable to answer the security questions that pop up when Im trying to download an app because the pop up does not load properly...

    Basically my Ipad2 stopped allowing me to go to sites such as Tumblr a little while ago. It wouldn't display the page properly because of 'security certificate' issues. This in itself would not have been such a problem, but when I went to the App store to try and download the Tumblr App, a pop up appeared asking me to answer some security questions before I could successfully install the App. However, the pop up would not display correctly because of 'security certificate' issues and as a result I can't download any apps from the App Store. Can anyone help with this??

    Well, I maged to delete some stuff, download the update...

  • How Oracle to deal with the data lose?-----QNo.104

    In incomplete recovery,some data will be lost. How Oracle to deal with it?
    For example, at 9:00am, you find that it is a mistake to drop a user(you dropped it at 8:30am). But other users' transactions are in progress. A lot of data is input between 8:30 and 9:00. If decide to make a incomplete recovery, does this means all the data input between 8:30 and 9:00 will be lost?

    For example, at 9:00am, you find that it is a mistake to drop a user(you dropped it at 8:30am. But the transactions are in progress. To make you clear, you can't drop the user while session connected to this schema.
    I dont think that you would loose any data.
    The other workaround for this issue would be,
    I would clone this on other server just before the user dropped, take the export and then import the user in the production.
    Is this satisfy your question?

  • TS1539 How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

    Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.

  • How do I deal with JPEGs of wildly various sizes for my HD Project?

    My project comprises HD DVCPRO Interviews.  Within those Interviews I'm trying to integrate JPEGs that were given to me on an external drive, but their Frame Sizes vary from 159x180 to 12648x9575 !  How do I deal with a 4584x5928 .peg for instance?  Does anybody have any idea?  I tried MPEG Streamclip_Export Frame_720x480 and it comes out crushed horizontally.  What dimensions would you recommend? Thank you very much for any suggestion.

    When you add the anything to the timeline, they "adopt" the sequence settings.  The clips themselves won't change at all...but when added to the timeline, they "render" to the sequence settings. So the stills will remain with the dimensions they have, but when rendered, the portion you added to the timeline will adopt the timeline settings.
    No need to buy Photoshop. PREVIEW is free, part of the apps that come with your computer, and can resize any picture file.  No need to get GIMP. 
    Yes, resize all stills to under 4000 pixels BEFORE you import. FCP will have issues with anything over 4000 pixels. 
    >2)  How do you calculate the other Dimension to go with 3800?
    No idea what you mean.  Just use Preview...in the TOOLS menu use ADJUST SIZE, and make sure that the SCALE PROPORTIONATLY is checked and when you adjust one number, the other will scale to maintain the same dimensions.

    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

    I'm constantly seeing error messages on my Apple TV (2nd gen) on content I easily watch on my other iDevices. What gives? This thing is rapidly becoming a vy expensive paper weight. Possibly the worst Apple product I've yet purchased. Am I alone in this?  What can I do?

    You cannot connect to TC using USB.
    Plug the TC into the computer using ethernet.
    Press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec.. until front led rapidly flashes.. release it.
    Open the airport utility and make sure you can locate the TC. Check the disk page that the disk started up without errors.

Anywysw I need to reach apple and have them make it so I can do it again. I had a similar problem with Playstation and when I called them they fixed it for me... even windows (which you can only have one serial per computer) made it easy because all I had to do was call them and they fixed it for me. Now I need APPLE to do the same and this is the only place I could see to actually say what is going on... I can't believe I have to do this with my iPhone... I wanted an mp3 player and a phone together and if I can't put new songs until September 20, 2012 I am going to freak out!

  • How can I deal with long sql by the oo4o?

    I am using VB and oo4o to develop a sql executor which is a extention of an old system.
    For some reason, I have to use oo4o v8.1.7 to deal with Oracle Database 8i to 11g.
    But when I send a very long sql(11KB) to it I got a error in the VB enviroment.
    The Err.Description is "automention error. Started object is disconnected by the client.".
    The Err.Number is "-2147417848 ".
    The sql that I send it to the program is a simple select sql that like select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 2, 3) .... from A_TBL where A=aa;
    This sql is normally executed by the sqlplus but I got an error by the oo4o.
    When I insert a '' between the 30Xth items, it got exectuted normally.
    ex. select a, b, c, substrb(d, 1, 2), substrb(e, 1, 2) ..... substrb(303th, 3, 4), '', substrb(304th, 1, 2) ... from A_TBL where A = aa;
    How can I deal with this problem? Thanks.

    So how can use this function correctly?By learning what exceptions are, how they're used, and what you can do to deal with them. There's a tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.htmlAnd here's a quick overview:
    The base class for all exceptions is Throwable. Java provides Exception and Error that extend Throwable. RuntimeException (and many others) extend Exception.
    RuntimeException and its descendants, and Error and its descendants, are called unchecked exceptions. Everything else is a checked exception.
    If your method, or any method it calls, can throw a checked exception, then your method must either catch that exception, or declare that your method throws that exception. This way, when I call your method, I know at compile time what can possibly go wrong and I can decide whether to handle it or just bubble it up to my caller. Catching a given exception also catches all that exception's descendants. Declaring that you throw a given exception means that you might throw that exception or any of its descendants.
    Unchecked exceptions (RuntimeException, Error, and their descendants) are not subject to those restrictions. Any method can throw any unchecked exception at any time without declaring it. This is because unchecked exceptions are either the sign of a coding error (RuntimeException), which is totally preventable and should be fixed rather than handled by the code that encounters it, or a problem in the VM, which in general can not be predicted or handled.
