CPU hots...

[potato28]

CPU is running at 51C... idle and with a Hyper 48/Zalman 92mm fan at 7v. Motherboard is the Asus A8N-E, and I have a 5% oc on My 3200+ Whinchester. Ambients are... well that is something Ill find out in a few minutes.

The ambients are around 31C... with some fans blowing,...

That's pretty bad. Have you tried reseating the HS?

Until you solve the problem, put the fan back to 12v. 51c idle is just too darn hot.

Idling rite now at 45C... I think my HS is wayyy to dusty...

45C That's still high.
May I recommend a side and top 120mm fans.

This info should help.

The problem isn't case airflow. The case temp is a bit high, but the idle temp should NOT be 51C or even 45C. There's something wrong with the HS/CPU interface or the HS itself.

I think its because of a dust build up. Ill find some dust off and clean out the HS and fan tommorow... local stores are already closed...
