could anyone tell me any good softwares to monitor our cpu temperature other than the Press DEL button to enter setup...i have an amdx2 processor..How can i tell what my cpu temperature is without going in BIOS??

Hello friends.

My rig is:
Intel c2d e8400
Asus P5N-D (nForce 750i SLI)
2x2GB gskill ddr2 800 mhz (4-4-4-12-2T @ 2.09v)
evga 8800 gt superclocked
zebronics peace cabinet
cm xtreme power duo 600w.

I m running my rig at stock. My cpu temp as seen from coretemp is around 55 idle and goes upto 65 when loading. When i run orthos for about 15-20 min, temp goes upto 80 seen frm coretemp.

In my cabby, i m having lcd temp display on cabby. wen i put sensor in to the cpu heat sink, temp display goes max upto 43 even wen running orthos.

I dont understand wat is d prob? i m sure dat sensor is showing accurate reading bcoz wen i put sensor on NB heatsink n compare temp of mobo frm bios and display panel, it is almost same. So i dont think sensor is wrong.

My cbby is well vantilated bcoz i m having 120 mm side inlet, 80 mm side exhaust, 120 mm back exhaust, 80mm front inlet n 80 mm top apart from cpu n psu fans.

so wat could b the prob? is cpu temp showin are wrong or right? I think c2d should not run this much hot. is my cpu is crappy?

Thx in advnc.

The temperature of the heatsink will naturally be much lower than the CPU.
First of all ensure that the heatsink is properly seated after properly applying MX-2 or AS 5.

hey i need some help on this issue...I have an amd64 X2 4800 processor & an asus M2A-VM-HDMI motherboard...Usually whenever i start my computer...at idle it shows around 50-52C & during some workload it goes up to 60C...Is this normal by any chance??Also i have two hard disk..one is a seagate 250Gb & the other a 500gb...the 250gb at idle time is somewhere around 49-51 & some workload...goes upto 54-55C max..mostly around 52C...is this dangerous...The other 500gb hard disk has a normal temp of 46C & 49C during heavy usage...Is my computer overheating?

If the data is accurate then its definitely overheating, 54-55c for a HDD is overkill, make sure case ventilation is working, try to add a case fan and if all fails open the side of the cabbinet and use a table fan to blow air into it directly.

Talk about extreme measures.

Just for knowledge.....what is the starting temp of a Pentium-D processor,a 160GB HDD & a 512MB DDR3 card....& what may be the avg. temp of that system???????

No idea about the proccy, HDD should be max 45c and GFx card max 90c for ATI and max 80c for nVidia.

GFx card temp can vary depending on model, starting temperature should be= Original-15/20c

a small adivice from me.......to all the guys having CPU@50c at idle....re fix the heat sink!!!
i had the same prob....on my 5th refix i got it right and now my CPU is idle @ 36c!:)

Make sure to clean and re-apply the thermal compound everytime you remove the heatsink.

Im new to heating thread.... Need cooling suggestion

How much is the ideal temp. for Pentium Dual Core ? I checked in BIOS and it showed me 45 degrees C... I think its quiet high.. Don't how did it go that high.. Just see this pic.

I need a special CPU cooler ? Also the temp. inside cabinet is around 33 degrees C... and Im planing to have Thermaltake M9...

will this reduce the temp. ?

hi

i hav a problem .... my cpu has very high temp (51-53)idle &
load temp (65-68 ) using coretemp/hwmoniter
room temp is (29-30)

my config
core 2 quad Q6600 (G0 stepping) stock cooler/no overclock
asus psk mobo
2gb ram
xfx 8600 gt (temp 53/65)
powersafe 500w gold psu

also i hav a zeb bijli cabinet (2 side fans 80mm i back fan 120mm)

i hav applied thermal paste and reseated hsf many times....

plz guide me , should i buy another hsf, plz giv a good option within 2K

Hi All,

I have a very old system which i use at home for downloading and stuff.
My rig is Athlon XP 2000+ (which i keep to 2.1 Ghz overclocked when am working. :p else it is run at stock. After over clock the temp goes to 68C and at stock its at 60C. Its a very old system so i guess this is normal.(I do have an old CPU cooler on it.)
My GFX card 5200FX runs at 80+C so i keep it off most of the time(physically removed). My side of the cabinet is always open for cooling. My ram is round 55C (DDR 1GB)
But my problem is the my HDD. My PC is very slow now-a-days and i think there's something wrong with my HDD. Its showing up a whooping 186C after 30 min of work or just idle power on state.
Please can you suggest something about it? Is there any way to reduce this temp or do i have to replace my HDD? My room feels like 10C higher than the other rooms. My HDD is acting like a room heater. :(
Plz help guys...

Anyone knows the Intel cpu fan specs that comes bundled with Pentium dual core E2180 ??

What are the RPM, noise level (in dBA) and bearing type of it ????


Just reply.
Thanks:D

Download this software and view the temperature, only it shows the right temp values for your proccy:*www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/

If beyond 45c, remove heatsink, clean and re-apply thermal compound and re-attach the heatsink, its not attached properly.

You may need the help of a technician.

I have a P4 2.6 GHZ, 1GB DDR(transcend) RAM. I had overheating problem a couple of months ago so I installed another fan(currently have 2) which rectified the problem. But again this nagging problem has cropped up. What do I do now?! Can overheating be caused by RAM malfunction or corruption of BIOS? :confused:
