You mean the processor running without HS or with HS but no fan on it? If got HS, what HS is that?

Pentium D is freaking hot processor, idle 55C is not so good, and you say it will go up to 62 just in 2 minutes, that will be very dangerous coz it might get even higher for the idle during freaking hot weather... with so high idle temp, I suspose the load temp will be near to 80C...

If the processor have HS, better get a fan for it before the processor burn, if no HS, then you might want to get one fast...

Leave it there could be have problem and could have no problem, depend on your luck lor... who know it might suddently dead due to too hot...

sure got HF la.If didnt go sure burn liaw..The HF is original..Actually, I hate Pentium D..coz it use a lot of electric than C2D. and the HF is really noisy...ya..normally loading is around 75 degree..and the HF is really noise...Like want to explode..When really, noisy, I turn off..Really "excited"..sure change HF la..just want save $..

Ya, Pentium D is the worst processor ever build by Intel and Intel stock cooler is kinda useless ... my Pentium D 820 is only 44-47C only for idle, load only 66-67C...using the Noctua NH-U12F...

yeah, save some $$ and get yourself an after market cooler to cool down that freaking hot processor...

My P4C Northwood 3GHz @ 3.41GHz

Idle 45-48C (depend on ambient temp)
Full Load as high as 75C (normally 72-73C)
Vcore: 1.525V

HSF : CM Xdream III Base Copper+Aluminium Fins (lapped some more)
Is it normal? I find it too hot for a northwood with that temp

Like said by Kataro, Pentium D is one of the hottest processor ever released by Intel. So franky speaking, the stock cooler is not good even when you using at default speed. Spend some money on third party cpu cooler if you want to prolong your processor life. Heat = Reduce the life of hardware

Your temp is totally not normal. My previous rig, 3.4C (30 caps) OC till 3.82Ghz only running at idle 34'c, full load 42'C. I am using Scythe Andy Samurai Master during that time.

IMO, CM Xdream III is a low end cpu cooler. Not good if you plan to OC your rig. Get something better.

Thanks for your support. Hehehe...

Off topic:

You are always welcome...Hopefully you will bring in the Noctua fan next time coz seem got many people wanna get it...

Dear experts,

Need some cunsultation regarding fan speed...as my CPU fan is driving me crazy...

Since buying my new set PC and had a friend installed it for me, ive been tortured by the super ultra noisy fan in my CPU. For the first few mintues that i run my system, the sound will be very nice and slow but after 5-10 minutes the fan starts to get into action and CPU temp by speedfan averages at 60 celcius.

When i run games and my Flight Simulator the temp rise to average 73-74 degrees and the fan noise is as loud as my flight sim aircraft engine sound....

Here are my specs and some screenies....I'm not an expert with system and willing to spend some $$$ to get rid of this annoying noise and if possible put my cpu back where it should be (see attached pic below)

Specs:
CPU: P4 LGA775 3.00Ghz 1MB L2Cache, 800Mhz FSB
MOBO: MSI Intel 865PE Neo3 Chipset Board
RAM: 512 Gig (plan to upgrade soon)
GPU: Asus GeForce FX 5500
HD: Maxtor 160GB

My SpeedFan Results


My PC Hideout


My Flight Sim that runs the temp all the way to 77 degrees


HELP!

Thanks

The answer is simple.
It's because from the picture u put there, it seems like u're using stock intel heatsink, that's why it's super noisy + super hot.

Want your processor to be cool + silent?

Buy a 3rd party heatsink for your processor and fix it with a super silent fan.

Get Thermalright Ultra 120.
The best 3rd Party CPU Cooler

I can see someone selling in the CPU & Motherboards, Casings & PSU Section in the garage sales thread.

Go Go Go!

Thank you Sir, will start surfing and buying soon

is it simple enough to change the heatsink or i need an IT shop to do it? i'm just a newbie...

Err a little bit confuse here .. Core at SpeedFan shows my cpu temperature right? In BIOS, cpu temperature shows 55C, SpeedFan 63-65C

It is very easy to install. Just read through the installation manual and be extra careful.


The temp in your bios is lower because there is NO processing at all ma.. when you in windows and with those processing at background, of course the temp will be higher.

I see .. why didn't I think about it

Anyway at 65C, is it consider high already? Do I need to get a cooler?

Yeah.
Is your pc specs like what in your signature?

If it's true, i think it's kinda high for an AMD64 3000+

Ya, that is too hot... even my freaking hot Pentium D 820 is cooler than yours, only 44-47C idle with the help of Noctua NH-U12F...

Yes... You seriously in need of a new cooler. But if you tight in budget, why not try to cleand and remount your heatsink? Sometime high temp is due to bad mounting.

ahaks .. I thought so never unmount since 1st mount dem it is freakin hot .. just checked with my bro's pc 3500+, 39C thinking of getting Scythe Ninja, does it reduces a lot?

ADDED: already clean it up, reduce to stock performance and still the same what happen? maybe running Vista cause it? my 2 bro also using Vista but they're at 1.5GB RAM. I even open up my side panel, reduced to 55C only

Probably the TIM dirty already. Just clean it up and replace with new TIM. Can lower the temp by several 'C.

Scythe Ninja ar, it is considered one of those high end air heatsink but I heard that there is some air flow problem with it. Thus, cant perform that well. There is a thread in the forum about this. Look for it.

Seeking for helps,
I think my E6600 + TTBT temp is a bit high. Alrdy mount the HSF correctly and apply with AS5. But still the temp remains high. No idea wht happenng and how to lower the temp. Need some advice here.
Thanks.

2.4GHz: 1.325v
idle temp
- 38C (BIOS)
- 53C (TAT)

3.2GHz: 1.375v
idle temp
- 41C (BIOS)
- 56C (TAT)

3.6GHz: 1.5v+
idle temp
- 45C (BIOS)
- 60C (TAT)

~ i assume tht the TAT reading is BIOS reading +15C ~

temps seem to be quite low.
60degrees with and aircond room?

No aircond my room.. irangan told me his setup with Noctua runs cooler. TTBT result should be same like Noctua i think.

irangan proc:
My E6600 @2.4ghz running at



If compare with him, my temp is not good at all. Im quite worry.
I think it might becoz of my HSF prob?? Really donno how come the temp can be so high. Can help me pls.
Thanks MOD.
