Hello ! I had some mysterious shut-downs (PC just shut off) and opened the case up and cleaned out a ton of dust. Also, some loose cables were possibly blocking airflow. I tried to get everything cleaned up, and ran SpeedFan 4.43, and this is what I got. This is AFTER minor clean up and cable organization

Windows 7 64 bit Pro
Intel Q9550 2.83 GHZ
8 GB Memory

Temp1 - 40C
Temp2 - 35 C
Temp3 - -128 C (minus 128 C) ??
HD0 - 32 C

Core 0 - 53C
Core 1 - 51C
Core 2 - 47C
Core 3 - 47C
GPU - 51C

Thanks guys ! :thumbsup:

Seem about average to me... Are those temps under load or while idle?

You should not have any overheating issues up till you pass 90*C...

That third temp sensor seems to be a little bit off for whatever reason.

If those are idle CPU temps, that's high depending on your room temperature. What are your load temps?

I think those temperatures are a little high for stock speeds. Are you using a stock cooler? Does it have a copper core? I would get a different cooler or at least change the TIM to something good. I had a Q9550 at 3.8GHz, and the temperatures were 40-42 using a nice aftermarket cooler.

DURING LOAD / 5 MINUTES AFTER LOAD TEST

Temp1 - 82C / 49
Temp2 - 36 C / 37
Temp3 - 127 C / -128 (minus)
HD0 - 32 C / 32

Core 0 - -20C (minus) / 61
Core 1 - 99C / 57
Core 2 - 98C / 53

Yep, your CPU is definitely overheating and that is certainly going to cause unexpected shut downs. Most, if not all, CPUs shut down once temperature reaches or exceeds 99*C in order to prevent them from melting.

Dude remove the HSF off it and clean it with alchohol , also clean the CPU with alchohol,, make it nice and clean.

Now apply MX4 Arctic Paste. with a latex gloves make sure you spread the paste evenly. Now put back on your HSF and wala , your 99c temp will go to 45 idle and 80 c load., thx gl

how are your case fans set up?

Computer was built for me, I opened it up and it looks pretty "normal" if that means anything. I have a power supply fan, the CPU fan, and an exhaust fan, all are functioning or at least spinning at all times
