CPU temperature to high on GA-7N400 Pro2
7N400 Pro2 and using Athlon XP 2800+ together with cpu fan at 4000rpm and
still my idle CPU temperature is around 64 degrees C . When I start a 3d Game temperature rise to 76 C. I was expecting much lower temperatures, below 60s so any suggestions? Thanks balo |

A copper HSF.??
Another look at your thermal paste?? What is the system temp? jps "balo" wrote in message ... 7N400 Pro2 and using Athlon XP 2800+ together with cpu fan at 4000rpm and still my idle CPU temperature is around 64 degrees C .

Im using a copper fan Vulcano 11 / Thermaltake with adjustable fan speed
System temp is stable around 46 C Thermal paste is fine and theres a good connection with the CPU . balo "jpsga" wrote in message news:yNhfc.134853$gA5.1580341@attbi_s03... A copper HSF.??

Hi have the same board and was experiencing similar problems, although not
quite as bad. I reduced my temp by changing my thermal paste.. System temp CPU temp 35 59 40 64 New thermal Paste (Artic Silver) System temp CPU temp 35 52 40 57 My heatsink is just a standard one , so it is possible to reduce it even more. Please note that the readings for this board are quite high as gigabyte apparently use a different technique to obtain CPU Temp. "balo" wrote in message ...

System Temp 46° C, that is too high
Needs some air flow through the box. Rear exhaust fan?? A typical unit( this one): Room ambient 21° (indoor/outdoor thermometer) Inside the case 27° System 33° (EZ Tune) CPU 62° This on a 3000XP over clocked to 2363mHz. As you can tell I have been concerned with CPU. Did the Vulcano 11 fit without modification. JPS "balo" wrote in message ...

ok then I think I need another fan to create more air flow inside my small
box. And I will also try with another type of thermal paste! I have not tried to overclock it yet . Thanks "jpsga" skrev i melding news:Smlfc.38535$xn4.99309@attbi_s51...

Hi,
Take the cover off your case in the mean time and see what difference that makes. - Tim "balo" wrote in message ... ok then I think I need another fan to create more air flow inside my small box.

A common mistake for athlon cpu is to put the heatsink in reverse position and thus an air gap is created between the cpu die and the heatsink. Your case probably hasnt good air flow. Put additional case fans if your case has fan slots, or you will need to do some patents . Temperature for your processor should be (room temperature+20C) at idle and (room temperature +30(or 35)) at full cpu load. |

ok good news, when I took the cover off the box the temperature dropped! .
Easytune4 show this temperatu System: 37 C CPU : 60 C When I check the BIOS its the same temperature readings. The adjustable cpu fan is making alot of noise with 4000rpm , when I reduce the fan speed to 3000rpm the cpu temp only change 1 degree up to 61 C And the fastest speed (when its making alot of noise!) 5000rpm CPU is down to 58 C Hope to solve this problem with another case fan , I have checked the heatsink and its attached properly so the only problem there is perhaps the thermal paste.....?

Thanks balo Well even the best thermal paste wont help if there isnt good air flow inside your case. Thermal paste is a very good passive heat-transfer medium between parts that have different temperatures i.e your cpu and your heatsink. If there isnt good airflow inside your case the heatsink cannot be cooled properly because the fan above it sends quite hot air. As a result the temperature of heatsink is getting close to that of your cpu, thus the passive heat transfer(which works from the hottest to the coolest) cannot work. Put at least one fan in the front and two fans in the rear. Arrange the cables so as to reduce air blocking/curling phenomena. The new round ATA cables help alot but are abit more expensive. |
