Plz forgive the poor computer skills
Anyways, my comp has four fans to my knowledge. There are two that are spinning in the back part of the case (and have the little grates so air can get thru drilled in case) There is one fan in the form of a big black cube like thing over my CPU, and another in the power supply. Theres also what I assume is a heatsink on my mother board.. its like this 1.5 by 1.5 inch square that is composed of a bunch of evenly spaced one inch straight pole things sticking up like this | | | | |
My comp (both my ASUS Probe 2 settings and my BIOS settings) both say my CPU is at around 60-65 degrees (around 143 Farenheit) after being on for a bit (without running any games or anything) A couple of times lately it wouldnt let me boot up because of something to do with hardware monitor... so I went to the BIOS, then to Power and hardware monitor and CPU temperature was flashing red 75 degrees. Ouch.
My motherboard is always around 30 degrees/86 F or half of whatever my CPU temperature is.
Anyways, i know my CPU temp is too high (people I know have it at like 40-45 tops), but it never reached this high before, probably because its getting hotter now in the summer.
My BIOS and my ASUS Probe 2 program both give me a reading of around 7600 RPM for my CPU fan... but they dont give me a reading for my power supply fan, and they dont have anything for chassis fan either (are those two fans at the back wall of my case the chassis fans??) But I checked and all of them are spinning..
Also, whats voltage? Its in my BIOS but in my Asus Probe 2 it says that one of them is threshold. There are 4 voltage settings: Vcore, 3.3, 5V, and 12V. All of them are bellow their names (ie, the 3.3 V one is at 3.152 V) but the 12V value is 13.376.. and is flashing. What does that mean?
And finally, inside my case I noticed that theres a sticker on my power supply that says like "Designed for the Pentium 4® Processor" does that mean anything? I have an AMD 2200 1.7 ghz CPU, 512 DDR ram and a GF TI 4400.
