curious about my cpu temp, *updated*

"Just fired up my new system (listed in sig) the cpu is running around 59 to 60 c . This seems a bit high to me but haven't had any problems . Any thoughts on this ? "



ok I added a front case fan ,reset the HSF , and solved the driver problem (stated later in this thread) ! It's still running at 54c to 55c in the bios! Any other thoughts before i switch HSF's?
 


<< that is very high...anything over 50*c is considered dangerous. What meathod are you using to measure your temps? >>



That is just not true. I have several AMD procs running 65C+ and are still running today.
 
Sorry about last post lol dam ie! Anyway bios is showing it at 54 idled and 33c system temp. I don't plan on OCing it but would it benefit me to get a better hsf ?

33C case temp is a bit high...you have any case fans running?
 
If you only have one fan, an intake would be better than an exhaust fan. This is to equalize the airflow. Don't forget the PSU has an exhaust fan as well.
 
I would just get another fan & have 1 in the front & 1 in the back (+ PSU fan). This should get your case temp down to like 27*c...which would help dramatically with your system temps.
 
I have another fan laying around here somewhere 🙂 It's just way late right now and i'd prolly get shot by the ole lady for doing it tonight lol
 
Perhaps you read it and didn't think about it again. Then one day subconciously brought it out of the depths of your mind thinking it was an original thought. It happens. I've had that in my sig since December of 2000 when I got my first Athlon CPU after switching from the cooler running Pentium 3.
 
you should be fine.

However if you find yourself running into problems such as lock ups and reboots then i have a few suggestions.

A better heatsink and fan. If your using a stock fan then perhaps get a name brand such as swiftech or globalwin.

If you have a slot where you can put in an exhaust fan do so. that will reduce the case temp by 1-10 degrees. Also reducing your cpu temp. Not to mention your cards you have in there and RAM also your power supply. If you can put in a intake fan in the front do that too. case fans are cheap so.

Your case temp is also pretty high. If getting a new heatsink doesn't seem to help and you can't add case fans to it then you may need a new case with better air flow.

Other than that you should be fine. You shouldn't worry too much about it.

Sounds like ur using a poor quality HSF to me, try something better, That motherboard is measuring ur temperatures v accurately, the GBT Probe is one of the best. that temperature is not dangerous, but will not allow you to overclock as u will need to increase voltage and thus heat 😀


<< that is very high...anything over 50*c is considered dangerous >>


I disagree, 70c + is dangerous.


<< I don't plan on OCing it but would it benefit me to get a better hsf ? >>


If ur not overclocking its not a hughe issue, but depends on the season in ur country, my cpu goes up 5 c in the summer 😀, also if u want to add anything l8er on like more drives etc they will add to heat
 
uh guys my HSF is listed in my sig lol Nah one of my board controls is showing no driver in system info. Of course i tried loading every driver on gigabytes cd but it seems they forgot this one so... I'll post results when i find the dam thing 🙂 thx for the help guys .
 
haven't seen anyone mention this yet, are you using a good quality thermal paste applied in a THIN layer? this can make a real difference. those temps seem pretty darn high to me. if none of the suggestions above helps i'd invest $30 in a good hsf. the thermalright sk6 is truely amazing, worth every penny!

one more thought - what if you've got a bad thermistor that's just giving bad readings? anyone know if this is possible? how accurate are these things, anyway?

yeah used ASII . In fact ive redone the paste a total of 3 times now lol . I have to go pick up a different HSF tomorrow. After that i'll try a new cpu . If that doesn't do it I'll just get REAL drunk and forget about it 😉
