Arjun Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Guys I am attaching the screen shot of the CPU stats. The temperature is on Idle condition without any application running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercuryDoun Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I would turn of your computer and stop using it until you buy a new CPU cooler... That kind of heat while IDLE is EXTREMELY bad for a Phenom II who's max safe temp is 62c... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I've never seen that program before what does 5000 RPM on the CPU mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercuryDoun Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I've never seen that program before what does 5000 RPM on the CPU mean? The fans on the Stock phenom II cooler are high RPM fans. They "Idle" at like 2000 RPM lol... They have a max in the area of 5k so That means the fan is running at max... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjun Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I have no idea whats going wrong with the CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Dude seriuosly just clean out the heatsink fins and the temp will drop. High fan speed and high temp usually means the heatsink fins are clogged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) you should also reapply thermal paste and reseat the heat sink, maybe you did it wrong take some pics Edited March 23, 2011 by potatochobit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny333 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I would take the cooler off and clean it and new Thermal Compound. Stock heat sink should be better than that. Also use http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html instead of probe. I think it is better. Good Luck and god Bless Johnny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjun Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks a Ton guys...Your suggestions helped. There was a lot of dust clogged in the CPU fan and the thermal paste had totally dried out. After throughly cleaning the fan and applying Cooler Master Ice Fusion Thermal Compound (RG-ICF-CER2-GP) the noise has come down drastically. Also the idle temperature is 43 degree Celsius. On Load(playing Counter Strike: Source) the load temperature is 46 degree Celsius and fan speed is 4200 RPM. I am pasting the stats. Do you guys think the temperature is still a bit high for Phenom ll X4 3.4 GHZ on load/idle ? Shall I straight away buy a CPU cooler or wait for say a month observe the stats and then buy it ? What do you suggest ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you suggest ? No offense... But why wasnt cleaning the Heatsink and Fan the first thing you tried?? Dont worry about those temps they are fine for stock settings. The best way i can say to answer your question, if with another question: "Shall I straight away buy a CPU cooler or wait for say a month observe the stats and then buy it ?" Do you plan on overclocking? Then in answer, go ahead and buy a new heatsink. DO you plan on keeping your CPU at Stock settings? Then in answer, Stock heatsink is fine. Just dont let it get that dirty again... Regular cleanly is required to keep a computer running cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medbor Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 With your ambient temps (as most other commenters seems to have missed) a 43C load is superb! If you have an air conditioner you could pipe some of that cooling closer to your computer. The main over all problem with you computer is oyu dust build up. The problem you are having is underprassure in the case (2 fans out 1 in) which effectively makes you computer a vacuum cleaner. You should always have more fans in than out, otherwise any hole/gap in your case will be an intake and accumulate dust. Great that you solved your immediate issue, though long term it will happen again if you dont rebuild your airflow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
