Overheating problems

Re: Crysis!

Hey guys, finally my system is up & running.. but something's wrong! Bios monitor & speedfan also showing CPU Temps in high 60s! It's not going down at all. It stays fluctuating between 60-70C & it even touched 80C at one point! What's happening? Why is it staying so high? Did I do something wrong?

Have you applied the thermal grease on the cpu and is your heatsink correctly fitted,these may be the causes

Re: Crysis!

Ok, I'll check that. Also, I tried using various monitoring programs & here is what AIDA64 sensor detected. After seeing those temps [all under 50C] I'm now confused, is my cpu overheating like speedfan & bios shows or not?

Re: Crysis!

ya, check that you fitted the heatsink properly.
Heatsink fit seems proper, but I can't say for sure, coz I've assembled Intel config for the first time.
Core Temp is showing all my core temps under 40C now, so which temp is speedfan & bios showing exactly?

Re: Crysis!

ur temperature seems fine now
what are the temp readings at load?
I'm still in the process of installing all the needed softwares so haven't tried the full load yet.

Speedfan is still showing CPU temp very high! It's above 80C now. But AIDA 64 is showing it under 40C, I don't know which one to trust? Which temp should I be worried about? CPU or Core?

Re: Crysis!

Please use RealTEMP. BIOS temperatures report incorrect many a times.
I'm using the latest RealTemp which is updated with SB CPUs & it shows all the cores are staying under 40C.. but it doesn't show CPU temp.

Both Asus Bios monitor & Speedfan are showing CPU temp very high & it's almost constantly staying above 80C. So which temp is the proper one & should I be worried about that 80C+ temp?

Are they instantly after switching on the pc showing 80c or after some stressing.if they are instantly showing 80c than I think they might be showing wrong temperature

Yes, instantly! When I get to desktop, I immediately open the Speedfan & there it is, burning 80C+!

Then I will suggest you to use HWmonitor software to monitor your temps and volts, after downloading hwmonitor see what temp is it showing

Re: Crysis!

looks like speed fan giving awkward temps
real temp is giving the right readings
@vishw
do one thing more just use CoreTemp to check which utility is giving wrong readings

CoreTemp is showing same temps as RealTemp.
