CPU Temp Errors
I'm getting CPU over temp errors when I reset....the cpu is at around 61deg
C (140F) is this way too high... My bedroom is pretty hot with the heating on....do you think this is the cause? Cheers Craig... |

Honestly that's not THAT hot for a normal cpu, but I understand the 64bit
cpu run fairly cool... Do you get a reading for a case temperature? Also, make sure to use a quality thermal paste and that the heatsink is properly seated. "Craig Coope" wrote in message ...

I didn't build the system myself....it was bought this way.... I have yet to check the calibration of the reading....I will do that tomorrow as soon as I switch it on.... The system seems stable and it hasn't shut off or anything....so right now I am not too bothered.... I'm not sure about the cool 'n' quiet technology tho as be default it is/was off in BIOS.....do I just need to turn it on and that is it? Cheers Craig.... |

I didn't build the system myself....it was bought this way.... case temp should be within about 5C of ambient room temp. If it isn't, well, it's just not very good cooling. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

OK...Well I have to say that the PC only has a PSU fan and the fan over the CPU....no chasis fans although there are two spaces for them on the case....I have looked at a few threads online and most people have atleast one chasis fan... My motherboard has the CPU fan socket on it but it seems it only had one Chasis fan socket....so I assume I can only have one chasis fan? I took the side off the case and let it run in BIOS and the temps fell to 51C for CPU and 40 for MB....the cpu fan also well by 900 to about 5000rpm.... I assume you guys will suggest I get a chasis fan?....if I truely can only fit on fan onto it do I get a intake or outake fan? Oh...also I have read that touching your heatsink close to the base can also give you an idea oh how hot the CPU is running....and it although it was obviously warm it wasn't painfully hot or anything...I could happily keep my finger there forever....

I have just phoned up the place I bought the PC from (as my floppy drive and
second DVD drive won't work...although the first DVD drive does)...anyway he said that my CPU temp is normal and I shouldn't worry unless it reaches temps of 80C....so I am gonna quit worrying....I may still buy a chassis fan tho....so any pointers on that will be welcome ) Craig.... |

You bought it from them but things don't work, and you're going to take his word for it.:-) If my cpu temp ever got to 60C I'd shut it down. There's just no reason to run it that high. Most cases have at least a spot for an intake fan in the lower front and at least one exhuast fan in the rear. Since the PSU also provides an exhaust, if you are only going to put in one fan it should be an intake fan at the bottom front. And if you cut the metal out that blocks the airflow in front of the fan you can double the airflow into the case. I do this to every case I use. And most of the time I also have to either drill larger holes in the plastic front or cut out some plastic also to get unrestricted air to the fan. It makes a huge difference, and it makes the fan quieter too since it's not starving for air and whining. Short of having decent case cooling, I'd leave the side cover off. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

Well I have a very dark grey case (yes this just obsorbes even more heat!) and it is plastic....it is not a plain flat metal front...it has plastic ribs down that the front.....don't get me wrong I am not saying it looks all that amazing but it would look terrible if I cut it to bits...I have put an intake fan on the lower front and have also put two outtake fans in the spaces below the psu outake at the back and as I have said in my other post it has made a great difference....I could leave the side cover off also but to me that just seems a bit sloppy...The case should be able to sustain a cool temp fully built......hmmmm.... I guess i want the least amount of dust in side the tower as poss....I am a slob and my bedroom has not been vacuumed in years (seriously...no joke!) p.... Cheers Craig.... |

Yes, that is hot, run with the case open if you can and aim a desk fan
at the open computer. Have someone check your CPU fan as well and soon... Craig Coope wrote: I'm getting CPU over temp errors when I reset....the cpu is at around 61deg C (140F) is this way too high... My bedroom is pretty hot with the heating on....do you think this is the cause? Cheers Craig... |
