The question is, are you using stock amd heatsink?

hi to all sifu's out ther. Can sum1 give me sum advice of wat to do to my pc? i have the pc temp as like this. i have attach a picture which i print screen. Whenever i on gaming the pc temp rises and sumtimes it warns me that my cpu temp is going abnormal n need to b restart. Sumtimes the pc reach 68c. i m using the intel dual core processor 2.8. Not the Core 2duo processor. Can sum1 help me and teach me how to reduce the heat ?

well for your chip is normal as you know the pentium series before C2D, the chipset generates a lot of heats...when you just start the pc the temp is around 50+..to reduce the heat try improve the air flow of the casing and if you have the cash to spare get a better heatsink..

oh yeah..if your heatsink is dusty GO CLEAN IT!!

dual core processor? u mean pentium d ar... are u using the pentium d 820 model? what heatsink are u using? stock or 3rd party?

cause last time i use the stock heatsink on pentium d, the temp went up like ur's, guess need to change like i did...

Heh bro you got urself a spanking frying pan called pentium D there man. Real hot and stock HSF just doesn't cut it especially if airflow not good enuf. If possible go get a nice tower-type heat sink and reduce the temps. Or start off with a better casing exhaust fan and seeif that helps first...

Yeah, vey99 is right...
Pentium D 8XX sequence is the hottest intel processor ever built..

While the Pentium D 9XX sequence is a little cooler as it uses two cedar mill cores compared to the Pentium D 8XX sequence that uses two Prescott Cores

Pentium D 8XX - Two Prescott Cores [90nm] - Smithfield
Pentium D 9XX - Two Cedar Mill Cores [65nm] - Pressler

The thing that u have to check first is, the heatsink, are you using Stock Intel Heatsink? If it's true, then it's the time to change the heatsink to a 3rd party heatsink.

2, make sure u're casing have a good airflow. Please give us a picture of how does you're cpu look inside, this way, we can help you out in understanding & clearing the problem.

agree, btw, how low did u managed to lower down the temp with my ex-pentium d?

So sorry i din mentioned wat heatsink i m using. Yes i m using the intel stock heatsink. My processor model is pentium d 820 2.8hertz wan. Can i ask did anyone heard of sum1 blown their pentium d processor cos of the heat a. U ppl say like tis i veli scare d. Cos i budget this pc can last for 2 years.

Any recommendation of 3rd party heatsink ?????

o yeah i miss out sumthing. i dun have camera here. but i try get 1 from fren n take a pic of my cpu. Anyway thanks for helping. Arigatok all sifu's

so, u using the pentium d that i used b4... trust me on this, u better get that heatsink changed, u can refer here as i did last time...

heatsink recommendation??? hhhmmmm, 1st of all, ur budget, no point if i recommend u water cooling or high-end heatsink if u can't afford one, rite?

anyway, u can try Thermalright or Scythe, if u can afford it of course

Mmmmm as long as the heatsink doesn't reach rm300 i still ok with it. No choice lo have to change cos of the temp. Rather than once burnt the damage sure more than rm300.Thanks E-J@1 for ur kind sharing information. I appreciate it veli much. So now u still using pentium d or u change d?

Heatsink i tink ok gua. But in my mind i got a question. Water cooling ok or not. Scare eh when the liquid or the paip bocor den kena mb mai whole pc sot? Jus curious to ask.

by the way E-J@1 tat time u change to wat heatsink n hows the result.Mind share it out a ?

please do not forget to put the good heat sink paste on it.

50degrees on that board, as that's my brother's pc, not mine, don't care much though...

That pc can last for 2 years, but if u really love u're pc, change the stupid intel stock heatsink to a decent 3rd party heatsink...

RM300?
You can get either Thermalright Ultra 120, Thermaltake Big Thyphoon VX, Scythe Infinity with that kinda budget

But, for Thermalright Ultra 120, it's kinda hard to get one today, as it's worldwide shortage...

It's the best heatsink on the market right now, that's why everyone is rushing to get the Ultra 120...

hahaha, already sold the pentium d to shawty...

i change it to thermalright xp-90, the temp went down like crazy, around 47-50c (full load), onli for one week though,doesn't got the time to test it, then i sold the heatsink to my friend cause want to top-up for my C2D b4 selling pentium d

& ur budget RM300!!! wah wat a high budget, what casing u use? maybe it can fit those high-end tower heatsink, tell us ur casing dimension or ur case model

bro go water....h20 the way to go...hehe

wah this thread, from talking bout cpu temp become a fully fledged psu discussion thread...lol...

Well..I've try remounting my Heatpaste.Improve my casing airflow but my load temp is still same as my stock cooler....Anyone help ?

What kind of heatsink u're using for you're E6300?

Stock intel heatsink?

3rd Party Heatsink? If this is the answer, mind to tell me which 3rd party heatsink u're using now?

bro hes using some 3rd party hsf lah..read his post properly. he said same as my stock hsf... bro i think maybe ur hsf is noit mounted properly, or too much tim, or maybe jsut ur hsf aint that efficient, i cant make a judgement untill u tell wat hsf u using or a picture ....

what is your temp? did you overclock?
