3.2GHz Prescott FTW!

[state 08]

Ice Cold

Been like this for past 3-4 days. Wonder how long till it pops.

2.12.06: Cleaned out the PC! Took out about a pound of dust, and reapplied thermal paste on CPU! Check these temps out: new temps

clean out dust maybe

Actually, I know for a fact it's a dust problem. Probably a cm cake of it inside of it. My dorm tends to gather dust really quickly, so it sucks. I probably have to re-apply some thermal paste too.

All in due time ofcourse.

hahaha, and I get pissed with my 3.4 Northy gets above 50C. Time to break out the can of air, and after tilting it upside-down and freezing your roommates leg while he's asleep, get that crap outta your heatsink!

I would suspect you've dislodged at least one leg of your heat exchanger (assuming stock) - good news is the temp won't get much higher cause the Prescotts throttle to keep temp at around 70 (I heard 66.5 for the 3.2 but who knows).

As far as I know, the heatsink (that is what a "heat exchanger" is, right?) should be firmly in place, unless it's become loose.

And nope, it's not stock. It's a Zalman CNPS7000-ALcu.

I think i needed to restart it though. It was at 70 for about 3-4 days, and last night, I just turned the pc off before I went out, opened all the windows, and ever since I turned it on last night, it's been idleing between 55-60.

Definately freezing temps... You're safe... Make some work of it, you wouldn't want to fry it I guess...

Funny thing is that in the summer, it idle's at 49. Gotta be an attack of the dust bunnies.

huh...maybe my cooler is overkill. My 3.2@3.8Ghz Pressie idles around 43-44C and peaked at 56C. Cooling provided by a hybrid of a generic 120mm fan, 80-120 adapter and TR2-M12 copper cooler. I haven't installed the side window's 80mm fan either...

get a ninja. my 3.2 prescott's temps idle at 35 and mb at 21 w/ nexus orange fan in lian li V case

Nice! That's how a pressie supposed to be!

=] i know how u feel

Yea, dust can be the equivilent of wrapping your CPU in a blanket. Nice new temps :thumbsup:
