P4 3.00GHZ (360) Running to hot :(
Howdy,
I'm having high CPU temperature issues with my pc. P4 3.00GHZ (360) ASUS P5WD2 PREMIUM MB 2Gig RAM Leadtek PCI-E 6800 Case: Thermaltake with 3 built in fans, 2 chassis and a side inlet fan The problem is my CPU seems to be running to hot. The idle temperature was around 60 degrees Celsius with stock fan (room at 22 degrees Celsius). I purchased a new heat sink and fan (G-Power pro GH-PDU21-MF) and installed it which got the temp down to around 50 degrees Celsius at idle, but goes over 60 degrees under load. From what I have read this CPU should idle well below what I have it at. Does anybody have any suggestions what the problem might be? Any help appreciated. Thanks..... |

What are you reading to get those temperatures? Is it in the BIOS readout or are you using some alternative software?
Those readouts are often inaccurate and certainly not something to get worked up over. If you aren't having performance issues then I wouldn't stress over it

Im using both the BIOS readout and the AUS PC Probe software utility that came with the MB.
Cheers.... |

Sorry, in terms of performance, it seems my other computer a P4 1.8GHZ performs better. No, I havn't used and any pc tools to quantify this, but in general use it seems quicker, pritty much the same software configuration.
Thats why i'm a little suspect about the temperature, and thinking whether the CPU is being throttled down due to the heat. Cheers.... |

Are you sure you install the LGA775 heatsink correctly? It's really hard to install those pins if the motherboard is in the case.
And how much thermal compound did you apply? Too much compound acts like an insulator and restricts thermal transfer. Cricket

That is a bit warm... should be around 50C. I'd reinstall the HSF with a new layer of thermal compound (remove the old).

Hmmm, I just read the Arctic Silver article on how to install a heat sink and how much compound to use. I think I used to much (way to much). I think Ill go buy some more compound and try again.
Thanks you all for your help. Ill post the results when I have done it. Cheers.... |
