Yah the best way to clarify it is try different hardwares to ensure the consistency of ur finding..

Stock cooler ??? if it's stock cooler than probably it's normal due to restrictive airflow within the case ...

if not stock cooler than try to run the test again in open area without case ...

check the difference than u would know it's cooler or case airflow issue...

now i ran orthos cuz prime test for single core i think

but then i ran strees cpu n ram at 2.6ghz

my cpu temp is 62c at the max is it ok??

if at 2.8ghz will reach 64c is dis normal??

it shouldn't be ... 62c is not really a desired result on C2D .. .

I clocked my CPU to 2.7ghz before but the heat level never gone up to 58c even with my air cooling last time ...

I think u really need to make sure ur temperature reading is accurate ..

if it's so hot u could feel it easily by touching the fins of ur cooler ..

62oC for C2D is just 1 oC above their design limit haha........... u can check this at intel website, it's around 61oc for C2D and 71oC for C2Q.

so it's better u find a way to feed more cold air for ur CPU or change to new HSF like artic freeze 7.......cheap and efficient

3minits running orthos on 2.33ghz reach 52c @@

so any recomanded air cooling??

TR IFX la rm299 no fan need to buy separately since u nvr states budget

Get Xigmatek if possible or thermalright top end cooler ...

but have to prepare the budget for it . .coz those come at least RM150 without fans....

hmm oh yeah forgot to tell about the budget... it is around RM120~RM150

Thinking of Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

Freezer 7 pro is good to run at stock speed but if OC but quite a margin it just can't cope up ...

I had one before but just sold it last week ..

btw this babe should works just fine for both stock and oc usage..

Xigmatek Bulk Order

I've just checked with another mobo, and the temp is okay..

I've put it back in my mobo and tried testing it again, the temperature reach 100 degrees.. hehe
But when I touch it, it's nowhere near that hot, far from it, i've even touched the contact point between the heatsink and processor, when the com reports that temperature and still on, and its not even hot, still bearable..

So what should i do? Get a new mobo or just adjust the bios settings so that it won't automatically shutdown..?

i'll go for xigmatek if ur a non OC-er that'll do fine since some ppl prefer silent pc

i think ur mobo sensor went GAGA edi . . if u still have warranty just send it back if not well u have 2 choices really disable the warning in bios or BUY NEW MOBO

FYI intel mobo have 3 years warranty

he's not using intel mobo if not mistaken ... it's Abit AN8 Ultra ..

that mobo got three years of warranty ?

anyway .. either u switch off the temperature threshold setting or get a new mobo ...

just got new xigmatek s963

anyone know:

in my rig now 1.472v vcore.. full load reach at 60C~63C, it is normal for using that cooling..

what the prob, if the temp is not suitable..

edi update to latest bios..
using everest to check temp..
oc my rig..

hi there..i'm using an8 ultra as well but diff proc and cooling.
did you get the reading from abit eq?
i suggest u try get temp reading from everest

i am using everest, not using abit eq...

After a new thermal paste and i install a new 80mm fan at the back (one at the back, one at the side), the temperature decreased to
Idle=50C
max=55C
Internal=40C
Remote=44C
Core=49C
HD=46C

Is this still acceptable?

AMD Athlon X2 4000+ Brisbane @ 2.6Ghz stock vcore and cooler
Idle : 30c
Load : 55+
Just wanna know what is the safe range temperature for full load?
Thinking of getting average cooler around RM100 & OC till 3.0Ghz .. Keke..

Yah .. as long as the temperature of load and idle isn't too much differ that shows u have reach the optimal temperature with the cooler ..

if u need further more than have to look for a better cooler ..

Better get a cooler that could push more performance without getting to the heat threshold ..

I don't think there's any cooler in the market about that price unless it's 2nd hand that could handle that amount of massive OC ..

hi peeps. i have a doubt. about fans configurations.
ok lets say i have 2 fans of the same size. will putting both fans together (infront of one of it) at the same direction generate more air flow?

or which way to config to get the most air flow with 2 fans together?

hi guys, I got a question

i've bought a new Celeron D 420 @1.6GHz (socket 775), using an MSI mobo and stock fan

after starting up my PC, i've found out that my computer suddenly shut down automatically.

so i run a few test to check which hardware that cause the problem and found out that the CPU is the cause of the sudden shut down. after monitoring the devices, i've found out that the CPU is causing the problem. for example:-

1) MP3, watch DVD, open Microsoft Office ------------- 38 - 50 degrees(my pc still work out fine)

2) playing games, install new software ----------------- >70 degrees (and my pc will suddenly shut down)

thus, my question is, can you give me any suggestion what heat sink and thermal paste that I can use for my CPU overheat problems and what are the prices?

do I need to upgrade the system fans too? if so what system fans do you suggest?

and lastly, any other solutions that you can suggest?

Thanks, and really appreciate if you can give suggestions ...
