When you use Task Manager (Ctrl/Alt/Del) the System Idle Process should be
around 97 to 99%. What is yours showing ? "Mo" wrote in message . au... Yes.. Home Edition .. I put this machine together for it last August... "RonK" wrote in message ... Are you running XP ? "Mo" wrote in message u... Hi Guys, Back on the machine after overnight shutdown.. temps at start up M/b 21C.. CPU 52C .. Aux 26 .. Just checked the CPU usage 0% (13% when I drag the panel). I'm reading email/NG's and chatting ICQ.. The CPU is now up to 58C... the other temps are 32 - 33 respectively. Question?.. Is the CPU powered (heated) full time? I was expecting to see the temp down towards ambient.. 22C. For info I live in Australia.. ambient is in the 30's during summer. "RonK" wrote in message ... Hey Mo, Hit ctrl/alt/del and see what the cpu idle is at. Just had a thought that there may be something using the cpu constantly. I had that problem with my neighbours machine. In XP the cpu idle should be showing 97 - 99%. "Mo" wrote in message . au... Thanks for your inputs, they're appreciated. As an oldie I have problems with the new tech stuff! I have re-seated the heat sink with some paste that I had.. Aida shows the CPU temp is now 58/9C .. rising(?) .. M/board is 33C and Aux 34C.. Bios shows roughly the same readings... the room temp is now 22C. Machine is idling. I only use the machine for ICQ, email and occasional surfing. Should I get another heat sink/fan? As I mentioned previously, I am using the AMD supplied unit. I am now concerned. "Ron" wrote in message ... You should be able to see your cpu temp in bios to confirm your reading. "Mo" wrote in message . au... Hi, I had to replace my GA-7N400-L1, useless after a bios update, with a GA-700N-L yesterday. I have an AMD 2600 CPU with supplied fan and heat sink on the machine. I was browsing through the posts here for any info on this later m/board and read about CPU temps.. I checked the temps on this machine with EasyTune4 and Aida32... in each case the temp was shown as 69C. EasyTune was flashing warnings. I could hold my finger in the heat sink of the CPU.. so after overnight shutdown I checked the temp after bootup this morning. It was given as 63C. The ambient was 22C. Is there any way to determine what the actual temp of my CPU? I certainly don't believe what is shown on the programs I've run. TIA- Mo |
