Overheating problems

just remove the HSF properly and use CM Thermal Fusion 400 Tim ( 500 bucks ) - apply a pea size drop on the cpu heat spreader and remount the HSF properly <img src="*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" smilieid="36" class="inlineimg">

No cheaper alternative? :p Around 200 bucks Maybe.

What about my HSF making a lot of Noise?

Update: My PC is not booting up anymore. :(

However, the fan was still making noise. I opened it up to check & realised that it was my PSU fan that had been making noise. :oops:

It was rotating dead slow. I opened up my PSU. Checked the fan. Did couple of misc. things. It started working fine. No more noise. But PC still does not boots up.

Removed my HSF. Let the proccy cool for some time. Pressed the power button. CD drive worked. PSU fan ran smoothly. Bit the proccy got hell hot. I could not touch it for more than a second.

What Should I Do? :(

Tried resetting CMOS. I think it is a problem with my PSU. Help please.

^^ OK ...

as for TiM CM TF 400 is best and safe to use.

Did not you mount the HSF on top of the cpu before pressing the power button ??

and you touched the CPU while it was running ?? This two steps are enough to make the cpu non functional.

Do these :

1. remove the cpu from the mobo socket
2. inspect the cpu socket on the mobo and make sure all the pins are ok.
3. Mount the cpu and CPu HSF properly - for a bootup test you don't need to apply TiM.
4. Connect only the PSu and KB with the mobo and Check if the PC boots or not.

If yes remove the cpu hsf and apply TiM on the cpu surface ( heat spreader ) and mount the HSf back again.

If no borrow a PSU from a friend and check check with this PSU using step no. 4.

use this to check RAM- Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic


also check the Fans for accumalated dust in the cabby. is the airflow proper? The temps you posted are way too high BTW. When was the last time you TIM'd ?

@ redcom1229 - the issues you are facing due to the cpu overheating - get a after market cpu cooler like CM Hyper 212 Evo @ ~2.2k

The gpu temp is Ok.

Check the HDD for bad sectors too.

My cpu core today touched 93 degree centigrade with just 1 hour of use.This is touched without any gaming with just normal use.

Going to buy elite 430 ....

make sure cpu fan is spinning properly - remove the cpu HSF, clean it, remove old TiM from HSF and cpu, apply a fresh layer of TiM on the CPu and mount the HSF properly. Check the cpu load temp again and use a another app like HWinfo.

Hi
I just brought a new pc as below
intel i5 2400
intel dh67clb3
sapphire ati 6850
coolermaster 430 black elite
iball 550w

the new psu is going to arrive in 2-3 days so please dont tell me to change my psu

The problem is my processor runs constantly on 63-65 degrees

Is it a problem with the Pc case, PSU, Processor fan, or the placement of the graphics card??

open the side panel and check again. if its airflow problem, temperature will come down. and use CoreTemp or HWMonitor. 63 is high, even if its under load. also the new cooler is really low profile, can be another reason. or maybe some of the TIM got off during installation of the HSF.

about the PSU, your wish but you know the answer :)

actually 63-35c is pretty cool load temp considering the tiny little heat sink SB cpus like i5 2400 comes with - so Op don't need to worry about temps much but to keep things cool he can get a cheap cooler like CM Hyper TX3 though ;-)

^^ those temps are really very high .... do these :

1. Reduce CPU vcore from Bios - set it to 1.3v
2. Remove the CPU Heatsink ... celan the fan
3. Remove the Old TiM ( paste like thing ) From the CPu and Heatsink both.
4. Get some good Tim Like CM TF400 and apply pea sized drop on the top of the cpu.
5. Remount the heatsink properly.

hello,thanks for the valuable suggestion.As of now i reduced the cpu vcore to 1.3(manual) and it has helped me.I will do the rest and keep you updated.
P.S: I ran the intel burn test at maximum and it passed the test.
Thank You.

Although I managed to open the photo the resolution is too less to understand anything.
just upload the photo to any of the site mentioned by topgear and donot resize. You posted only 102x150. Too small.

Dear top gear and the tech freak,
Sorry for the late reply as i was travelling.The only thing i have done is change the bios settings like topgear mentioned.
The temperature has come down significantly,on most times it is around 65.Only when it is under significant stress it comes to 75.
.I am attaching the readings as of now.
Once again sorry and any help is appreciated.
Thank You

Thanks for the suggestion.In fact a friend of mine helped me out verifying the same yesterday and he replaced the thermal paste and he told me the issue could be because of the mother board and asked me to replace it.
I am curious,could it be the cause.Is there anyway i can figure out if iths the mother board which is faulty?
Thanks again.

I think the heatsink isn't mounted properly and/or the temperature sensors are faulty.
