Hi,

My old PC uses Intel Pentium D D820 (2.8GHz) processor on a Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 Motherboard. The CPU is over 60c even at idle. It gets nearly 70c at load. So I got a Gigabyte 3D Rocket cooler which helped to reduce the heat by 5c. I have used thermal paste as advised in Toms forums. The heat sink get very hot that its hard to touch even. I tried removing side panels of my casing but it didn't help either. Any advices, suggestions welcome...

thanks.

Pentium D's, especially the 8xx series, are known to be very hot. Mine (820 too) idles at 48 and goes around 65 at 100%. Its not necessary a reason to be concerned. Your temps are a little high but your CPU may work just fine.

Thanks Paul_gren,

Are U using the stock cooler. Mine started spinning at around 4500rpm so the noise was unbearable. Same with U?

no not the stock cooler...i use a Thermaltake golden orb 2. I keep it at 1300 rpm with a fan controller and its almost inaudible.

im planning to change it to a E8400 as soon as it becomes available (coz at the moment there is little to none available).

much more power for much less heat.

hope i helped u
