Hey guys--long time reading, first time posting
sorry if this is so newbish, but here's my problem:
I purchased a used Pentium D 805 2.66GHz CPU from an acquaintance... upon installing and checking the BIOS, the CPU temp reads ~52C (on avg.) Obviously I'm concerned since at this point the OS hasn't loaded and i'm already WAY overheated!
When I run Speedfan 4.33 I get readings all the way up to 62C sometimes (and I'm not sure what the settings are, but "Aux1" for me is at ...119C; maybe PSU...my PSU is 480w Antec Truepower and its hot to the touch during load)
I checked all my fans/cabling for max airflow and nothing seems to help.
My question is--the guy I bought it from was (at one point) really into overclocking...I heard if my PSU was heating up like crazy it could possibly be a damaged CPU from not being properly cooled during overclocking. Is this possible?
I've literally tried everything short of putting a Big Typhoon on there to cool it off, it's just insanely frustrating after my 7th re-seat/re-grease, esp. since my case sits @29C.
*sigh* anyway, here's my setup if it helps:
Compucase Evercase ATX Mid-tower
Pentium D 805 2.66GHz
Asus P5B Motherboard
Antec Truepower 480w PSU
4x512MB DDR2 533MHz
Sapphire ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512MB
2x12cm, 1x8cm front/rear/side fans
any thoughts? thanks so much... i'm so down about this and out of ideas...
