Cpu getting hot i think a couple of questions?
Hi all i am having a little trouble with my amd build. It has been shutting down the last couple of days and i have been looking at the cpu temp.
When i am scanning with spybot or anything that makes them run a little more than an idle the temp will hit 70 celsius and i think bios is shutting it down. It is an amd build asus motherboard phenom2x4 955.it is only a 1.5 to a 2yr old system. stock heatsink and no video card onboard video only. Do you folks think i should use an aftermarket cooler?I may be adding video cards and such at a later date? Any help would be appreciated. booger |

If it's an 1-2 year old system, the first thing to do is check the CPU fan. In that time it could have easily acquired a problem. Is it spinning up? Is it covered in dust? Did a cable move and obstruct it?

What is the motherboard model?
Have you been overclocking? You may need to replace the cpu/heatsink fan. Are all the fans in the case working and intakes free from obstruction? |

I'd pull the heatsink, clean it and the CPU cap, and reinstall it with fresh thermal compound.

Jdeb, the readings are comming from pc probe from asus.That is the only one i have vs the one in windows seven gadgets.
Glc i will try the recompound job that is probably the easiest to do.I may get a new heatsink and fan but that will be the quickest for now. As always you folks are the greatest!!!!!!! booger |
