My E8400 is reporting 51 degrees Celsius and 31 degrees Celsius for Cores 1 and 2 respectively in speed fan (core 0 and core 1 in speed fan interface). My HIS4850 is reporting 78 degrees Celsius in Catalyst.

I am using the stock intel fan with MX2 thermal paste. This is under no load, these temperatures.



Any ideas what is going on here????

Sometimes the Intel 45nm cpus Thermal sensors stick.
And the AMD 48xx series run hot anyway.

Do like a blind man at an orgy.
Feel your way around.

What i mean is get use to the temps by feel as well by the software
monitoring shistuff.

Spend about 50 to 75 frogskins and get
a non-contact thermometor.

What's going on here is GPUs are now larger than CPUs and put out more heat while their coolers are typically inadequate, especially the new reference 4850 GPU cooler and its absurdly low fan speed. Do some Google searching and learn how to turn up your fan speed and better yet, buy a decent air cooler.

Intel also seems to be putting more effort into power management so parts of their CPUs turn off or go into low power modes at idle which really helps keep the temps down, even with only the OEM cooler. GPU manufacturers need to do the same.

But are those temps normal for these pieces?

Note that today the processor is running at all temperature sensors right in the mid forties.

And about that GPU: right now the case has only one fan, an exhaust unit at the back right behind the processor fan (its a Gigabyte Case). I can add another fan up front and it would blow back over the hard drive and GPU. good idea or waste of time?
