My CPU Temp

[Vinichem]

I Have an AMD Phenom II X4 965 3,4 GHz. Idle Temp is 44-48. but load temp(prime95) is 80-85. How can i lower the temp?
OBS: I'm not overclocking, CPU voltage in BIOS is 1.5v. tell me what can i do to lower my temp? cause my cooling is alright.

You manually set the BIOS voltage? If you did, set the voltage to "Auto", 1.5V is a bit high and is probably the reason you're running so hot.

1.5 is dangerously high and 85C is dangerously hot. Should be 1.35 at stock.

Yes if your not overclocking just set the cpu voltage to auto

I also wanted to do a bit of overclocking, to 3.6 or 3.8 but i need to know safe CPU voltages, i don't know what changed the CPU voltage to 1.55, but i can't find the auto button on the BIOS, Im checking the manual to try to sort things out.

I've reduced my CPU voltage to 1.4, now with prime95 is still hot 70c.

70 with prime is acceptable.

I've noticed that with prime on 70c my fan isn't running on max. so i think its okay. 1.4 is the cpu store voltage so its alright. but there's something strange with CPU-Z before i put 1.4v core speed was 3.4GHz and multiplier was 8.0. now that i' ve lowered the voltage to 1.4 the core speed is 1.6 GHz and the multiplier is still 8. i don't know how that changed soo much. and on the benchmark, from core speed 3.4 to 1.6 only 0.1 fps was lost.

 

[Vinichem]

CPU-Z is showing 65W as max TDP. but i for my processor i think it should be 140W Max TDP.

 

[Vinichem]

I've put 1.425 voltage, which they say is applicabe for my processor but when i put the normal core clock 3.4GHz the temp with prime 95 goes to 80 - 85, what should i do lower the voltage even more?

 

[cuecuemore]

Set it to 1.35? I don't know what else to tell you, as that is the stock setting for that CPU.
