Hi,
Recently upgraded the CPU on my ageing Abit 1P-35 Pro (Rev. 2.00/BIOS v1.8 Beta) to an Intel Core 2 Duo 8600 (also upgraded my Graphics card, doubled my RAM to 8GB and fitted a new 2TB HDD).
Everything seemed fine, but the CPU is now overheating - hence sometimes has problems booting up into Windows, and so on (ie, gives me POST error code 9.8: "de-assert ATX power supply"). Right now, Speedfan software tells me that my CPU temperatures are 45C and 50C - that is, in the danger zone.
However, I was warned by the computer shop that my motherboard is faulty. Or as the invoice/fault details says: "The fan for the heatsink is Intel but the heatsink was third party - the two are incompatible - new heatsink required. Customer would like Arctic 11 Pro installed .... CPU fan not spinning, CPU overheating. Connected heatsink fan to sysfan header - fan spins and the system boots. CPU fan header and the AUX fan headers are faulty, most likely on the same channel".
Can I do anything about this using software like Speedfan - or Core Temp, Real Temp, HW Monitor, etc? Or is it just a question of biting the bullet and getting a new motherboard - ie, a completely new system, essentially, since I will have to get new RAM, CPU, etc. I've looked at Speedfan's settings, for example, but find it a bit baffling to be honest.
Here are my full tech specs: Windows 10 Pro & Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) \ Intel Core2 Duo E8600 (3.4ghz) \ Abit IP-35 Pro (Rev. 2.00/BIOS v1.8 Beta) \ 8gb Corsair PC2-6400 800mhz XMS (4 X 2) \ PNY GTX 9700 XLR8 OC 4GB \ Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer \ Corsair HX 620w PSU \ Hitachi CCTV DVR 7200rpm 64MB 2TB \ Sharkoon T9 Value \ Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 Pro \ Samsung Writemaster SH-S223Q \ Acer 24" X243H \ TP-Link TD-W8968
And advice would be appreciated,
Thanks,
DANNY
