Overheating problems

Finally, today I installed Hyper 212 Plus! :D

Yesterday, with Intel Stock HSF my temps were 42-50°C with general usage and it went up to 85°C when rendering! :shock:

Today, after installing Hyper 212, general usage temps are 38-42°C and 65°C when rendering! So I guess I installed it properly! :D

looks like it's working properly but still at stock speed it's a bit on higher side IMO.

Hey guys I want to know what is the normal temp of an i3 540 @ 3.06GHz?
No OC..
Mine goes above 60C while playing Assassin's Cree 2..
Temp was tested by coretemp

Don't let it go above 70C.

where do you live?
what is your idle room temp?

btw summer is approaching
so cpu tends to get hot while on load(heavy usage)
mine too reaches 55+ easily while gaming

what cpu do you have - my hyper 212 don't let cross my AMD Athlon II quads temp above 41C at stock speed ;-)

Yeah, idle is a bit high.. but my room gets very hot in summer b'coz of the open terrace above, so I don't know! Should I re-seat it?

Hehe! Your load temp is my idle temp! ;)

i think your temps are on the safe side, my cpu temps shoots to 58-60c on full load, i am on stock cooler

Was playing BFBC 2 and temperature was 70-70-67-65°C at stock and GPU Temp was 76°C max, room temp at 33°C, it's normal for my proccy, right? Though I have two CM R4 installed at Hyper 212+, two at the Top of cabby and one at the back as usual :)

i have AMD x4 635 @ 3.00ghz
idle temps are 30-35 (depends )
on load it reaches 55+ but never 60

Delhi..
I don't know..:p
What should i do?

make sure your air flow in cabinet is proper
side panel -->intake
front panel -->intake
back panel -->exhaust
top panel -->exhaust

Try resetting the heatsink and reapply thermal paste, with a custom cooler temps should not go above 65c.

Yeah they look OK.


Please post results by checking using these software-

*openhardwaremonitor.org/

Openhardware Monitor? Hmmm, never heard of it, anyway it looks cool and there is a 2-3°C difference between this and CPU ID HW Monitor !

Yeah. I think it's a good monitor S/w.

I use the combination of these 2 softwares to get my average temparature.

BTW, back on topic-

These are my most recent temps using Open H/W monitor. It's only idle. GPU is OC'ed a little.

Why is there so much difference?

Okay, I played BFBC 2 for one hour, all the three software's were open, Real Temp 3.6, Open HW Monitor and CPU ID HW Monitor, here are the results,

GPU Temp hit 78°C ! Isn't it too high? Core temps also crossed 70°C. Ambient is 33.8°C (without AC)

GPU is ok, as long as its below 80c its ok, but the CPU is a bit high, 65 should have been ok for it.

Hi Guys

I own Acer Aspire 5530 laptop with AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core Processors for Notebooks QL-64. Laptop gets so hot if playing a small flash game that its temp reaches 82C in half an hr and it shuts down itself. :sad:

Sumit, I guess you would need to get it serviced again. Try to keep the machine in a dust-free environ. as much as you can.

itheHappy, for the nth time on TDF those temperatures are just fine.

hmm..its out of warranty and just for opening and cleaning the machine they wud charge arnd 1000-1500 Rs :x

Isnt there any method by which I can open and clean it myself ?

Also Gurgaon main dust free env is never possible :p

Also I notice its CPU temp which always remains high like 76C..HD temp is OK (52C)

Use a vacuum cleaner, use the blower to blow air through the vents. Make sure the blower isn't very powerful.
