New system E8400 running at 92 Celsius and shuts down when istalling V

yes it does normally. what cooler you are using?take a picture would be best.

he did say he tried reseated it already.

stuck sensor?

I think it is making contact because when I took it off the paste was spread on the CPU ans heatsink.

yeah tom's been little stingy on the forum.should have bought another terabyte for the server on this forum!lol

u need to [img]link[/img] to show the picture.TRY IT.

What else do you need to see?

I did but it didn't work.

Here another one but it's big so link below:

That doesn't tell much either. Push down on it. Is it loose? Lga775 pushpins can be pretty flimsy. You can also try disabling fan control in bios, so that the fan spins at 100% all the time.

What exactly do you want to see in the picture?

The heatsink is down as much as it can go.

The fan speed is around 2000 mostly below it if that's helpful.

How ca I disable fan control in the bios?

It's different for every motherboard. Look through the bios options. It should be something straight forward, like "cpu fan control method" or something like that. Just set it to disable.

You can't fix stuck sensor. Have to rma it.

I can tell you for 100% certanty, from that picure your cooler isn't mounted on right.

You need to pull it off.

Turn all of the pins in the lock position opposite way of the arrow, "clockwise" I believe. I can see two of your pins in the unlock position.

Pull your motherboard out.

Go to radioshack, and buy some new thermal paste cause now you have contaminated it to bad. You will probably skip this and wonder why your temps are still bad, but then comeback and read again.

Redo the thermal paste, A BB size amount in the middle of the CPU, make sure the old paste is cleaned with Rubbing alcohol.

Put the CPU in the mobo, lock it in, and with the mobo out of the case push the pins down like this. Make sue they are all clockwise locked!

Go in a X pattern.

top left
bottom right
top right
bottom left.

Now your CPU is installed right and has non contaminated thermal paste.

Have fun with your new rigs at good temps.

when you pull the heatsink does it move?if it does that means the pin(s) is not being push in fully.

shake the whole case if it falls out that means its not in.i did it before i was SHOCKED when it was not in which i thought i pushed it in.

Ok - which way is the pin open and which way is it closed?

Clockwise is locked counter clock wise is not. You want them all clockwise.

AKA opposite the arrow direction. The arrow direction is for taking it off.

The screwdriver slots will point out in a x when all are in lock position.

Sorry but I still don't understand!!!

If I turn the pin clockwise or anti-clockwise, it just keeps on turning. Which position do I stop it in to open it?

Well they only turn a 1/4 turn either way, and they lock in either position.

If yours turns around and around, you broke it and it will never work. You will need to go buy a new heatsink.

get a retention bracket it and put it on the stock intel heatsink.

A BB like in BB gun. Similar to about 2 grains of rice.

Like I said if your pins turn around infinite, they are broke and it will never work.

If all work except one you still wont get good contact and will overheat.

If you dont mind heating your CPU to 90C and taking precious months off of its life everytime. Go ahead and keep trying to fix the problem with tape and gum.

I'm done.

You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink.

any thermal paste will work but its best to get the AS5.

oh no no no.
