P3 750E NOT-OC'ed - Running at 82 Celcius!

[D0zE]

My Pentium III 750E coppermine CPU is installed on a TYAN TIGER 133

My cpu is running at 82 degrees celcius... i did not overclock it or anything like that.

I have a HEATSYNC+FAN COMBO on it,

I monitor the TemperatureS in the BIOS (award bios), i got the latest bios for my MB.

Is it a bad CPU? or is it something else?

please help me resolve this problem.

Thanks.

I'd make sure the heatsink is firmly attached to the CPU. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause your problem. If it's not a physical problem, read around to see if the board has an error reading CPU temperatures, you never know.

Since your CPU is a P3 750E (100 FSB), it shouldn't be running that hot. At full load, my 2 P3s (800EB and 933 EB) run between 40-42 celcius.

You may also feel your heatsink when your computer is running at full load (any distrubted computing client will do this). It should be fairly warm. Also, if you can run windows w/o crashing, then your cpu isn't that hot. If it was, I don't know if you could even boot.

My windows DOES crash when it starts to boot into it... that's why i started to check my temperatures...

what heatsink do you have?

I recommend that you replace your "heatsync" with a heatsink

Does your computer have an exhaust case fan installed?

 

[D0zE]

yes my computer has 3 exhaust fans (1 on powersupply) and 2 intake fans.

my heatsink also has a fan on it.

Did you remove the blue sticker from the heatsink?

Sometimes there is a protective piece of tape covering the thermo compound on the bottom of the HSF

My guess is that the heatsink isnt making good contack with the cpu and/or is vastly underpowered for what you are using it for. Did you use a thermal compound or thermal pad? if you are using the thermal pad, did you remove the protective tape from it before you installed it? is the heatsink properly seated on the cpu?

maybe that's the problem
