Temp too high?

Yo guys
Two things I wanted to ask really. Firstly I have recently purchased a Coolmaster Heat Pipe Heatsink / Fan as my old hs + fan wasnt cooling my XP 1800 properly (I was getting system crashes running @ 1.53 Ghz). The system is fine now but I am still not sure if my CPU temp is low enough. The machine boots into Windows at abt 45 degrees then reaches around 50 in idle state. This obviously increases in games but it's not high enough to crash the system. This heatsink and fan was twice the cost of my old one and yet apart from the 10 degrees or so difference at heavy loads I still don't think the temp is low enough. Can anyone tell me the average temperatures that these chips shld reach?
Secondly, strangely enough, ever since installing this new heatsink and fan my machine won't restart properly. If i choose restart in Windows then the PC just hangs at a black screen. I have to forcefully turn the PC off and back on again :-\ Weird! Anyone got any suggestions.
Thanks in advance guys - hope to get some advice soon.

There is a tweak you can use, I found this posted by Drakester on the AMDMB Forum and gives details of how to cool your cpu by sending a halt instruction when it is idle. The effect this has is to lower its power consumption and therefore reduce the temperature.
I have tried it, and now see cpu temperatures of between 28c to 31c idle and upto 46c loaded, as opposed to 41c idle and 55c loaded before I tried it.
You can go straight to the Via article written by the aforementioned Drakester on WPCREDIT Cooling Solution.
Also if you don't already have them, put an intake fan at the front and an outlet fan at the back of your case, as this will improve airflow to help with cooling.

Mobo temp too high?

hi all just recently built my first pc
my specs:
p4 2.26g(533mhz)
msi 875p ne0-fis2r
ddr sdram pc27000 (1gig)
msi geforce fx 5900 128mb
sound blaster audigy2
psu 300w
my problem is this my cpu temp is 39c, my system temp is 31c but my motherboard temp is showing 54c isnt that too high? i have 2 fans at the rear of the atx case and 2 at the front so why is my mobo temp so high is it a psu problem i know my video card requirements are 350w but will it cause the mobo temp to be so high? any suggestions would be appreciated. ?(

Take a deep breath. Relax. These temperatures are normal. If you browse through other threads with similar titles you will see the normal ranges and explanations on false NB temp readings.

P4 Temp over 140f isn't this too high?

I was checking out the CPU temp with the PC Alert III and got a temp over 140f. The Chassis is 96f without any overclocking. Isnt this too high?

I have a 1.8A running at 2.52 GHz on an 845 Ultra-ARU, and I too see quite high temperatures. My CPU idles at 50 degrees Celsius, and reaches 67-68 degrees under a full load. My chassis temperature is about 35 degrees C on idle, and goes up maybe four or five degrees under a load. (My ambient room temperature is about 23 degrees Celsius.) My heatsink is making solid contact with my CPU, as evidenced by the fact that when I tested it by putting a strip of paper on the IHS before putting the heatsink on, the paper would not budge. (I obviously removed the paper before starting up the computer, and have a nice, even layer of AS3 forming a haze over the CPU.) I have two 80mm intake fans (one in the front and one on the side of the case), the exhaust fan on the bottom of my power supply which is right above the CPU, and an 80mm exhaust fan on the back of the case. If I pull the cover of the case off, the temperatures do not change at all, so my airflow in the case is as good as it can get.
If I touch the heatsink while the CPU is under a full load, it feels warm, but not 67-68 degrees Celsius warm. So I'm thinking that the temperature sensor on my motherboard is about 7 or 8 degrees Celsius too high. (Perhaps even ten degrees.) However, I have not had any crashes or any instability caused by these "high" temperatures, so that furthers my theory that the temperature sensor is messed up. I'd like to see it get fixed in a BIOS update, but I doubt MSI would do that, and I also doubt that MSI would ever update the BIOS for the 6398 motherboard ever again. X( (I'd also like to see some memory ratios for this board, but again, I'd bet my life on the fact that MSI will never give us any memory options on an otherwise good board.)

Temps Way Too High

Please help me! lol
I just built a new PC and the the processor is 3.2Ghz P4.
It has a Zalman 7000Al/Cu cooler and it hitting a much too high temperature!
The case has a front 80mm intake fan (not bringing air into the case as its blocked), a 80mm side fan bringing loadsa air into the case and then 2 x80mm fans extracting at the back. Plus the PSU has a 120mm fan over the CPU.
Now the problem is that at idle the cpu temp is about 45C but in game it rises steeply. When running 3DMark 2003 about half way it hit 65C. That is way too high.
Now the thing is that when I feel the zalman it is hardly even hot. So obviously isnt making good contacts. Am I right. If so how do i fix this.
I Did use artic silver III on the heatsink and a fine amount so that you could just read the writing on the CPU. What else can I do please? Shouldnt the heatsink be at least hot?
Thanks. Answer quick!

Ah, you seem to have the exact problem I only just got over. I just upgraded my P4C 2.8Ghz's cooler from stock to a Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu, and at first, I had temperature hell, getting temperatures like you are, but it seems I had just misapplied the thermal paste. I'm using the included Zalman paste, and from the tests I've seen, AS3 is only just very very slightly better than it, I'm talking maybe half a degree C.
The way I eventually found to apply it which gave the best result was to put the usual slightly smaller than a grain of rice dollop of the paste right in the middle of the processor, then sit the cooler on top of that, and give it a bit of a twist side-to-side so that it mashes out the paste. You can take a look underneath to make sure this has given a good spread, don't worry if it doesn't cover the whole heat spreader, it shouldn't, and in any case the core which you are cooling is only under a tiny part of that huge plate. As long as it's a reasonable size spread, just go from there and install the cooler as normal, and you should find it works fine. While this method of grease application seems to be against most of the guides I've read, it definitely works fine (I'm getting 29C idle, max 45C load, in a case with absolutely horrid ventilation), and is in fact the way Arctic Silver recommend.
So give that a try, it worked for me.
Oh, and on the whole temperature misreporting deal, while I'm pretty sure my CPU is measured fine, is there some kind of issue with the system temp readings? I should check my BIOS version, but I'm just puzzled in that my system temp tends to read about 40C, which is way more than even my CPU.

MSI 280x max temp is too high

hi,
I just got 2 second hand MSI 280x from someone. Quickly ran FurMark on these cards (1 after another, not crossfire) and their temperature both pass 95+ celsius degree at 100% fan speed. Both cards in mint condition, only few dust on the heatsink.
Thinking the heat problem may come from dry thermal compound, I apply some Noctua NT-H1 to one of those cards and its temperature never pass 85 celsius degree. This seems still little too high because this review shows max temp of such card is well under 80C www. tomshardware. com/reviews/radeon-r9-280x-third-party-round-up,3655-4.html
What could go wrong and How I can make these cards cooler?
Thanks

You can't compare reviews to your real life experience in a working machine instead of an open system used for short benachmark sessions. Temperature results are individual and as said before card now performs well with new paste.

Temps are too high

Using the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 with a 212 Evo Hyper and Arctic Silver 5 so I should be pulling insanely tow temps. However, I can only set the temp target as low as 40 which means, right now, not doing much, it's at 48 which is 20 degrees higher than with stock CPU cooler and paste (and different board which didn't have target temps). How do I drive the temperatures down, I've told the CPU fan to go a lot quicker and it's still too high. These temps are not safe to game with.
Also, how do I change my screen name? Nowhere in registration did it ask for one
EDIT: Just saw 48 was an average across the cores, the temperature is 38

What's displayed on the board is the CPU temps right?
I don't understand what you mean.
What software you get it with?
Quote from: keys.snickers
Going by that, I'm getting 36 degrees when doing every day stuff (internet etc). I got that by altering the fan curve and before that I was getting 40+
Should I just alter the fan curve more?
You shouldn't be worried about 40s or even 50s not even 60s if it is under heavy load.
What is the room temperature, and is your case is well ventilated?

Are these settings too high?

All I did was click on the Performance 3D in the settings of Clock Frequencies of my FX5600 128MB. I then clicked on Auto detect and it changed my settings all by itself. I did not manually move any of the sliders.
My Core Clock Frequency for 2D is now 270MHz and 3D is 372MHz.
So far, America's Army plays way better and I was even able to bump up many of the games settings too.

Both, but primarily the GPU will generate the most heat, either way, heat is a killer no matter how you look at it. Even if it is warm to the touch, that does not mean it's harmless. If it's warmer than the component manufacturer specs indicate, it shortens the life. As to the rate in which heat above a certain range actually shortens the life is better left to an electronics engineer or a spec sheet.
Do not overclock in 2d mode it's not necessary.
Probably not an issue if you have good cooling in your case and the ambient room temp is respectable.
If you want to overclock, let the 3d detect set it initially and then take the overall speed and reduce it by 5% or so. You may not notice failure right away if your eye is not trained to see the problems. So it's best to be conservative if you are not an experienced overclocker.

Temp still high after all this

Well after my volcano 9 and artic silver 3 came in I installed them. And the temps still are the same 69c idle and up to 85 under load.
My system is stable though, no bsod or anything at all.

I took the 1800 out and put it in my msi board and get the same temps as above, then out and put it back in the k7s5a, and get the temps above.
Something has to be wrong with this k7n2 board.
But like I said never had a crash or and problems at all.
I just figured that getting the new fan and artic silver would help alittle bit on the temps, but i guess i was wrong.

K8N FSR AGP voltage too high w 6800GT?

Hi guys !
I've been having trouble oc:ing my 6800GT and one guy told me that the problem is related to my AGP voltage. It's too high thus preventing the GT from running normally at higher speeds.
The symptoms of oc:ing are 1-3 sec freezings in 3DMark05/03/01 plus crashes "expolrer.exe & drwtsn32.exe". It's not a heat-related problem because I have a NV Silencer 5 mounted on the core which also covers all mem chips. My temp indicator shows me 45-50C idle 60-65C full-load.
I've heard that the GT requires 1.3V AGP voltage. Unfortunately you cannot lower AGP voltage in BIOS.
Any suggestions ??

i have almost teh same setup. when i first got my 6800 i had same issueso/c and i watercool.
it wasnt until i swapped my 430true power to wifes 350 enermax that it was straightened out. ex has like 32a on 12v line
cpu used to use the 5v line but now almost your whole system rides the 12v line all peripheral cpu and your gt juce sucker. so those old powersupplies cant keep up with big systems like ours
also with a64 some games you need to turn cool and quiet off during because the way the code is written it doesnt keep cpu at 100% so the cpu keeps throttling down and up. i just shortcut in my toolbar for the power control from control panel. it works nicely
agp 1.5v. 6800gt core voltage is 1.3 ultra is 1.4.
those numbers are not really related. your friend may be connecting numbers which are not related. dont forget 6800 has its whole own mobo essentially with a core and ram and other chips sitting on it. thats what the agp 1.5v goes to.
hope this helps

Temps too hot?!

Hello, everyone!
I just finished buidling my first computer. It has a 2.8 Northwood, and a Zalman flower heatsink CNPS7000A-Cu with Artic Silver 5 Thermal grease. From what I have heard people saying there usual temps are with this setup, I feel that mine are too high (?). I have a Wavemaster case with two 80mm sucking in and one 80mm blowing out, and the cpu fan does about 2800rpm max. After gaming for a few hours temps were about 49 for the cpu and high 30 for the case. right now it is idling about 35 in the case and 45 on the cpu. the ambiet temp is 68 F. The strangest thing happened after i let it sit a whole night off. In the morning when i tunrned it on, i checked the temperatures immediately in the bios. and the cpu was still 45C!, which is about 110F, 40F warmer than the room! I have the newest version of the bios, and i followed the artic silver and zlaman instructions exactly. is it possible i have damaged one or both of these sensors? I really appreciate any input or suggestions you have, and post questions is i need to clarify anything, i'm new
Notes: I was the most concerned with mounting the heat sink. I put the right amount of grease on, but it did squirm around slightly as i tightened it. Also, The copper fins never seem to warm up...
newegg reviews including claimed cpu and case temps
Thanks again!

Bejon2000,
On the Bios ver 3.20 and below the error reading is in -12 v but the temp looks fine, but in ver 3.5 corection has been made on -12v reading and the temp seems the same nothing change.
Bios 3.6 the cpu temp is much lower then the previous bios, this can be read on Speed fan and also in CPUZ the Vcore doesn't change in reading compare with the old bios.
Interesting to note bios 3.5 and below CC will read the lowest CPU temp in my computer is 49 c although the other software read lower. (it seems stuck on the lowest reading CPU temp). In bios 3.6 the CPU temp read lower and the CPU temp reading is change quickly (abruptly) which I thing not supposed to be in the heat transfer.(The bad thing is happen on speed fan also).
Yes you right about new Mobo is started with Bios 3.30 and not found in the web site, you can see the history of this mobo bios on the zip file of Bios ver.3.6.
Regarding the CPU temp. is better to put a real sensor on your cpu which can be read on the front panel so you can get some reference of this matter in relationship with the software reading. It not expensive and you can get it with casing which have this equipment.
The great thing about this Bios is actually on the DOT performance.
Hope this will help you.

Are my GPU's IDLE temps to high?

Two months ago I bought a MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE.
When I got I found that that my fan can be pretty loud.
So I made a curve with MSI afterburner that would make my card pretty quite.
But I am not 100% sure my temps are acceptable.
My GPU temp is while being idle (Just browsing the web and stuff) 55 degrees Celsius.
My fan is running 38%, with a RPM of around 1350.
Are these acceptable temps, or do I need to change something here?

it may be a problem with the TIM (thermal Interface Material) on the card between the cooler and GPU!
i would suggest you remover the cooler and clean up the GPU and use a small amount of MX2 or MX4 thermal compound on the GPU as replacement and see if its temp goes down!
55C under nearly 0% load to me is far too high so i suspect its got a bad application of TIM (probably too much) and its acting as a heat Insulator not a heat transfare aid!
>>REMOVING THE COOLER AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT DAMAGE ANYTHING WHILE DOING SO WILL NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY IN ANY WAY<<

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

P45 NEO - Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz - 400x9 vCore 1.5600 too high?

Hi All,
I have received my Thermalright 120 Extreme this week and buyed a new Coolermaster 120mm 90cfm fan.
With this new build i have started to reconfigure my setup to run 3.6Ghz daily.
After many hours of configuration i got a stable configuration below in bios:
FSB: 400
FSB-DRAM: 1:1 (OCZ Heaper 1066 running at 800Mhz) but latter i will try 1066Mhz
vCore: 1.5600
GTL Ref 1: Auto
GTL Ref 2: Auto
MCH: 1.21
VTT: 1.22
ICH: 1.50
Temps are realy low with this new cooler, at full load i got 56c. and idle 29c.
Now come the questions:
I belive that 1.56 is too high for this CPU, but as most mobos, the real vcore is below 1.56, like 1.51
Is there a way to increase MCH and reduce vCore?
PS: I have EIST enabled!!! So this save a lot of power as when i got idle the mult fall to x6 (2.4Ghz) and vCore fall to 1.32

Thanks Jack,
I have made a mistake with Core Temp VID.
But one more interessting think is when i put the CPU at FULL load with prime95 or OCCT, my mobo start a low noise like a whizz.
Looks like this mobo will not support this high vcore for much time

Is 95C CPU temperature too high?

I have Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. When I use QuickTime or any other video converting software to convert video for my iPhone CPU temperature hits 95C mark. Is it too high? Should I do something about it. If yes what should I do? It is the only situation when CPU temp is so high usually it is not higher then 70C when loaded.

Hi,
thats normal that the CPU of an mobile system gets hotter, I mean your much more near the CPU then by an desktop. Thats normal that you could think the CPU gets too hot.
I have an Satellite X200 (Gamer machine) and the thing gets really hot, but thats normal since a powerful CPU is in there.
If I were you I wouldnt make any doubt about it and if youre unsure just ask some of your friends which owns a notebook. Usually they would say "yes, mine gets hot, too.."
The 100 degree means that the CPU can become such hot till it reaches 100 degree and then the machine shuts down to prevent to some damage on the CPU.
So in this case the 70 degree are okay. You (can by the way) prevent overheating when you clean your machine regurarely simply by blasting some compressed air gently through the ventilation holes of the CPU cooling system. If not then the cooling modules will be clogged from dust and start to overheat...
