4MD_4_M3 Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I have a cooler master i think it is a jet 7, on my amd 2000. It is just oced to a 2100 at the moment. But the temps are crazy Gigabytes easytune says that my temps are 50 degrees celcius at idle. i am using arctic silver 5 thermal compound also. Why is it getting so hot?

Newport Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 You might of put too much AS5 on the processor... I know that even the smallest amount extra can really mess with your temps... I dont know how well a blower fan cools but from what i read on a recent post, blowers dont cool as well (i would think different but thats the news on the street)... I think that there might be too much AS5 on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 try looking from your bios Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4MD_4_M3 Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 (edited) i just covered the center of the diode when i applied it because i knew that when that massive heatsink got put on top of it, it would spread it out. I have a 80mm fan blowing out of the back of the case and 1 blowing in from the front and a sunon 120 mm fan blowing out of the case. <----that is on my side panel. I have no idea what is causing it i looked from bios and it reads at around 50 or 51 Edited May 10, 2004 by 4MD_4_M3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanksta Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 turn the 120 mm to blow in, but i still think the main prb lies within ur hsf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnoyeo111 Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 that isn't that hot, my 2nd rig, an AMD XP 2100+, has temps @ 63C idle!! and around 80C load!! Don't worry unless your system keeps on crashsing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terdar Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 that isn't that hot, my 2nd rig, an AMD XP 2100+, has temps @ 63C idle!! and around 80C load!! Don't worry unless your system keeps on crashsing. Thats way to hot, my 2100+ idels at 35c and under load is 42c and that with a taisol heat pipe useing a silent 60mm fan. I agree with other people probibly to much AS5 and what i have read, the jet 7 dosent cool all that well to begin with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnoyeo111 Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 I realized that, i dunno why my temps have been increasing since i bought the comp, it used to idel @ the temps Terdar suggested, maybe a buildup of dust, neway it's my 2nd spare rig.

Don't worry unless your system keeps on crashsing. A friend of mine's comp is that hot too. I haven't seen the HS type or fan setup, but I still thing that the 60C on it is just a little hot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRussell Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 Another possibility is an air pocket. Did you twist a degree or two a few times and did you press down a bit?... that's supposed to spread it while also eliminating pockets. I'm thinking that too much AS-5 would not lead to temps literally that bad (I'm a clutz with AS-5... I slop it on like gravy.. not literally, but more than a rice grain), but even a small air pocket near the center would be bad news.

chasm98 Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I'm using the jet 7 too. But it cools my CPU pretty well. 2600+ oc to 3000+. Idle at 38DC and full load at 45DC. I think it is the air pocket as sugested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSticky Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 just covered the center of the diode when i applied it because ... Because you didn't read the directions. Go back to www.arcticsilver.com and read them this time. You are to use about "1/2 the size of a bb". Any more than that and you are insulating the chip with your thick goop.
