Temps ok - now going higher and higher???

[blakmumba]

Hi everyone, as the title states, i'v got a Phenom 965be o.c'd to 4.0ghz with the NB frequency at 2649Mhz. The heatsink im using is Thermalright Silver Arrow with Thermalright Chill Factor 3. As usual, everything was running wicked up until week/week an a half ago when the temps started to rise slowly but gradually. Today, was playing Black Ops Online and ran PC Probe when the alert noise can on with the SB Temp at 52 degrees, NB 55degrees and the cpu at 52degrees. Previously my cpu never got above 48degrees whilst gaming.
I have reapplied the thermal paste, cleaned evrything out etc. Only thing I have changed is my graphic card, had 2x HD4870x2 (crossfire X) now running GTX 480.

PLEASE could someone shed some light as this would much appreciated.

It's Summer, temps are higher.

Computer components run hotter when the ambient temps are higher.

If your temps are too high, reduce your voltage.

Can't lowet voltage any lower as iv already got it running low as it is. Don't think is the ambient but don't mind considering that as it does make sense.
Thanx again

Phenom II X4 965BE has a 1.360-1.376 stock voltage. How do you figure you can't go any lower?

Maybe invest in a higher rpm exhaust fan for your case, preferably in the top.

Iv got it overclocked to 4ghz as mentioned in my post so obviously I can't run it at stock voltage and for an 4ghz o.c, iv got it very good with that voltage I'm applying

 

[blakmumba]

Also got Lian Li PC-P80R case which already comes with good fans (check reviews). Please read the post fully before posting

I read your post. I said UPGRADE your fan's. Sorry if you have trouble with reading comprehension.

Ok, so now you know what the problem is.

Obviously its NOT very good, if it's overheating now is it?

Please stop posting if u can't help, the previous poster, did u actually READ my post, it WAS working ok but NOW after 8/9 months it's going higher. The previous poster b4 u is prob right, summer = extra hot

Assuming the room the PC is in is not air conditioned.

 

[blakmumba]

THANKYOU Finally a decent reply.
No the room is not air conditioned and when I take the side door off thr CPU is still hitting 50-52degrees, NB 54degrees and SB 52degreed whilst playing black ops online?
Just can't figure it out. May be it is cuz off summer? Room temp is roughly 22-25degrees

Finally a decent reply? LOL

In my first reply I said:

"Computer components run hotter when the ambient temps are higher."

Sorry you failed reading comprehension.

 

[blakmumba]

If u read my reply(s), I agreed with u, think yr the 1 having reading comprehension.
