Can you plesae tell me whether my temps are ok

[hijaz]

Hey guyz


Please can you confirm my temperatures are alright or what..


I get 84 c maximum in real temp with 100 cpu load

Is that tooo much...

I have a

Core 2 quad 8400
G31mxp motherboard
3GB ram ddr 2 667
HD 4850 512 mb vga

Also, are you overclocking? if not, those temps are out of control, if you are overclocking, then you might need to back down a bit.

Sounds like your heatsink is not making full contact with the CPU. You should take it apart clean off the old thermal compound then reset it with some fresh compound. While you have it off get all the dust out of it if it is dusty.

 

[dEAne]

It is very hot. Not good.

 

[hijaz]

I already got a intel socket 775 fan and replaced the thermal...

I dont know the ambient temps.
Guyz please help.

Hey can it the problem with the heatsink coz i just got a socket 775 cpu i dont know whether it is for core 2 quad.


Or is g31mxk a problem.....with core 2 quad..

 

[Flyingsparrow101]

Maybe, that's what I'm thinking.

 

[popatim]

I'm thinking heatsink also since we do not know which brand or what its thermal design is but before you purchase, please ensure you have applied the thermal paste properly (too much can cause high cpu temps also) and that the retension mechanism is installed properly.

 

[hijaz]

We dont get that good thermal in Sri lanka..


I used something called microsis or something..

Can the board be the prob

 

[hijaz]

Now it is reduced 2 83c

 

[vilenjan]

amazed the intel chips can get that hot and still function, msot AMD chips would be a smoking ruin at 84C

 

[brendz155]

Dude Id pull off the heatsink, slap some thermal paste on, stress for around 15 mins, to check temps, if they are the same, buy a new fansink. ;D

Guyz look at this it says tjunction 100 c

Please help man

I use real temp to measure

If it is a stock Intel or even a lot of the aftermarket ones they have those dumb pins which can be a pain to get in. Sometimes one corner will not click totally and this will make your temps go crazy. Also another good idea is to pull the heatsink and look at the thermal compound make sure that it is makeing 100% contact. If you still have a problem with it after all that then its time for a new heatsink fan.

Last quick question what kind of cooling does the rest of your case have?

 

[jonpaul37]

hijaz, 3 of us asked you some questions which have yet to be answered.

1. Are you using the stock Intel Heatsink?
2. Are you overclocking?
3. Is the heatsink completely and securely attached to the motherboard?

 

[hijaz]

yes i am using stock intel fan

No i am not ocing

i should remove and fix it again to confirm

 

[Plumble]

Did you turn off intel Thermal Monitor?

 

[jonpaul37]

ok then, those Temps are really high, definitely take the heatsink/fan off and re-install after re-applying thermal paste.

 

[Plumble]

Not too much thermal paste. Just enough.

 

[hijaz]

What is intel thermal monitor

 

[Plumble]

It is a function where the CPU automatically lowers the multiplyer (slows down) when the CPU approaches the maximum temp.

Stops you damaging the CPU.

 

[hijaz]

U mean EIST??????????

If it is so it is enabled

 

[Plumble]

Not quite.
EIST is more power saving.

Thermal monitor comes in two flavours.
Thermal monitor 1 can adjust the fan speed automatically.
Thermal monitor 2 works in a similar fashion to EIST and reduces the core voltage and/or CPU multiplier when the temperature goes out of specification to avoid permanent damage to the CPU.

Up one from the bottom of the list. EIST is two places further up.

Just thought it would be worth using if your temps are that high.
