cooling P42.4C

[aryan151]

I have case with 2 80mm fans. I do not intend to OC. Although my system temperature stays around 40 cel on average, my CPU reaches 60 cel within seconds of running virus scanner.

So, what should I do
- blow air on CPU?
- buy fanbus and more fans?
Any other suggestion is also welcome.


Thanks in advance.

I'd swap out your current case fans for some more powerfull units. You can find Panaflows with nearly 50% better airflow at a similar noise level to more typical fans (but the noise is different, it's a "whoosh" instead of a "whine").

Since your idle is at 40s and loaded at 60s, that can only mean one thing....you need a better HSF cause your current one had some thermal resistance issue in its manufacture/design

Try using some thermal grease.
