red930 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Sorry to bother everybody again, but I have another problem. After dling Everest I noticed that my CPU temp was at 60+C. It's not overclocked, it's at stock, and I thought that it was jacked. Does anybody have another program to monitor it (besides SpeedFan)? If it's really 60C stock all, then I need to reseat the heatsink/lap it or just buy a new one. Or it could be my proc is concave. It would explain why my 100mhz oc locked up the compy and made me have to reset the jumpers. Note that when I feel the heatsink it's not blazing hot, it's just lukewarm. Thx.

lowboy Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 What temp does it show in bios? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
225Slant6 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Did you check the temp in the BIOS? Have you tried MB5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 BIOS I always thought was wrong, maybe it's right.. MB5? Could you give me a link please? Right now running Prime95, it's been about 3 minutes, temp is at 75C. Destroying the proc. Apparently for the last 7 months I've been running this thing 60 nonstop at IDLE. Ridiculous. Don't know how I was that stupid. Makes me worried to think about what it was when I was gaming nonstop for like 10 hours. After I killed Prime idling at 61C. Definitely taking out proc and hs tomorrow and lapping the hs. Thx for your quick replies all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Yeah I don't. Getting one by Christmas though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Best bet is to download the trial of Everest Ultimate www.lavalys.com Sure sounds like something is wrong with the mount. 60 at idle is definately an issue. The stock heatsink is NOT that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I used Everest Ultimate.. got annoyed by the popup telling me to buy the retail version.. it would come up every like 2 minutes I dled the Home Edition.. they report the same thing so I'm happy (not about the temperature) Stock heatsink isn't always that great.. lol my 950mhz Duron oced to 1.4ghz would always reach 60C at one point in time and then crash and burn. Then I stopped using it as a Linux server. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbooter Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 before lapping things why not just mount it then take it off and see how good the contact is and how well the as5 gets spread out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbotron Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 That temp is really bad. I have your same CPU, i am using the stock HSF and just now the CPU temp according to MBM5 is 33-35º C at idle. It's the last day of the summer here, I don't know how high is the temp in the PC's room exactly because i have no way to measure it, but probably higher than 25º C. By the way i am not OCing and i have the Cool 'n' Quiet feature enabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
