Overheating problems

[evewin89]

HELP!!! HELP!!! HELP!!! cpu heating problem.

Hello everyone. Currently I’m facing cpu heating problem.
The bios showing cpu temp. of 100 degree Celsius and after starting the pc for 15 to 20 seconds the PC shuts down. I opned the heatsink and found that the cpu fan plastic clamp is broken and the paste (I think it’s the grey color thermal paste) is dried out. somehow I managed to place the fan above the heatsink but the problem is that the cpu temp. is not reducing. I wanna know is my cpu “dead”?
My cpu is intel P4 2.4GHz….
I also wanna know buying a new cpu fan and putting some thermal paste between the heatsink and the cpu can reduce the cpu temp. or not? bios showing current cpu fan RPM of 2596.its normal ok or its very less? buying a new cpu fan and putting some thermal paste between the heatsink can make my pc alive once again or do I have to buy a new CPU?

Are all 4 push-pins in secure. It should be secure. If you try to physically move the HSF, it should not budge at all.

Buy a new CPU fan and reapply the thermal paste and fit it. It should work

 

[coderunknown]

I think all the stock heatsinks are waste ! better they provide less money without cooler so that everyone can buy the 3rd party cpu cooler

hyper 212 plus would be a better choice 400 more than TX3

Anyway congts

AMD used to offer some BE's (maybe Athlon X2 7750 or something. forgotten exactly) without heatsink. as it was for enthusiasts mainly. and they will anyway buy a OEM HSF. however the "noob" consumers started complaining why are proccies coming without any heatsink or any fan stuff. so AMD was forced include stock heatsink with their enthusiasts & OC friendly proccies, which are waste as damngoodman999 mentioned

i reapplied the thermal paste and my p.c is running good...but still the bios showing cpu temp of 67C-73. i think i also have to buy a new cpu fan.

Please do not relate to BIOS for temperatures, cause they are not definitive. Use Coretemp, Realtemp, HW Monitor, Lavalys Everest.

you said one pin is broken,why are you delaying purchasing a new fan ?

i'll buy a new set as soon as possible....yes'ter'day i went to the maket but all the shops was closed due to some strike.

i also wanna know.what is the normal RPM of a CPU fan. my current cpu fan RPM is around 2500RPM .

 

[topgear]

A stock cpu heatsink fan RPM could be anything between 2500 - 3600 RPM

 

[pulsar_swift]

Not sure about other CPU s but the 955BE stock fan runs goes till 6900rpm.

 

[celldweller1591]

goto bios menu and you can watch the temp and rpm of cpu fans over there.

Those are not reliable.

cause its for Phenom II X4 BE.

I'm getting this temperature when I run CS 1.6

and sometimes the Keyboard + Mouse Freezes and only the screen shows the gameplay.

Is it because of Overheating.

Does the numlock key stop to toggle, when it freezes..?

 

[Piyush]

^^what if it do toggle

 

[asingh]

That means that the CPU is throttling, and the system is still alive. If the toggle completely stops, the CPU has shut it self OFF, to save it self due to over heat, and we get a total system hang.

This is the intrinsic difference between an IC (integrated circuit) and MC (micro circuit). An MC can control itself...! It is still ON, but refuses to work.

Dilip:
SpeedFan is cr$$. Please to a RealTEMP run with 2x work threads of Prime95, post the screen shot here. Thanks.

Pulsar:
Those temperatures are decent.

guys i accidentally broke two push pins of my intel p4 stock cooler while cleaning a month ago...ever since my cpu temp. is in the range of 85-95 degrees with the cpu fan hovering at around 4500-4600 rpm's. can anyone please tell me from where can i get replacement pins and/or glacialtech igloo 5058 or anyother 3rd party cpu cooler within a range of rs 250 in kolkata. went to chandani market but could find the pins or the glacialtech igloo.
Here is the screenshot of speedfan 4.4. *img36.imageshack.us/img36/8854/cputemp.jpg
Hope someone can help me out of this.

Ask for CM LGA775 HSF. They are not expensive. I doubt those pins can be replaced. As a word of caution, do no use the system till the HSF is replaced. Do apply good TIM.
