What is a precise tool for checking the temp of the CPU? I did wipe the HSF stuff off and applied Arctic Silver 5 to both that and the CPU. I did hear clicks but I'm going to take it off again because I found out that I applied the AS5 incorrectly to the CPU since it's a Quad Core. So is my...
Well I just ran the Stress Test under Prime95 and my temperature was holding at 83 degrees Celcius!!! As soon as I saw you post about 80 degrees I stopped the test. I'm using Intel TAT to monitor the temperature. Is that the most accurate tool available?
I wasn't sure of this but what is the highest temperature this processor will run on? I would like to know what an unsafe temperature would. I wasn't able to find this on Intel's site though some claim it is there. Does anyone have a link to it or know the temperatures?
I failed to previously mentioned that I upgraded my BIOS as well. My room is a bit warm as its on the 2nd floor. So there's no chance there is something wrong with the processor itself?
As my thread title states, my Q6600 G0 runs pretty hot (in my opinion and after reading some other posts).
Here is my build:
Antec P182 Case
Asus P5K-E Mobo
Q6600 G0 (with stock fan and AS5 applied)
G.Skill DDR2 800 4GB
Rosewill 600W PSU
EVGA 8800GT
150GB WD Raptor...
I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with the hard drive because video does not come on. I'm thinking either the processor has gone bad or the motherboard is going bad. I have experienced this in the past and am pretty sure it is the processor. I have two removable hard drives (one of which is...
No I haven't but I don't think its the power button. You see I hear the CPU fan wind up but the HD does not come on and there is no signal being sent to the monitor. I have to turn it on and off several times to come on.
It has to be either the motherboard or the processor. I recently replaced the PSU because that was the most obvious thing. What do you think the culprit is?
I've been researching LCDs to buy one and there's something that has been bothering me. Everywhere I've read, it says LCDs are better for your eyes because they have better refresh rates. I made a comparison the LCD I ordered (Imagequest L90D+) which has a max refresh rate of 75hz. My 21"...
Im in the market for an LCD and I've been looking on ZipZoomFly and Newegg's websites. Does anyone know if they allow you to return LCD monitors that are defective or have dead pixels? Or do you directly have to send it back to the manufacturer? I looked on their websites and it seems you are...
