Phenom II running too hot

Case: B-Move. Model: Isis
One case fan, 120mm
CPU Fan: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 PRO Rev.2

Room temperature is about 27 C

Since you changed HSFs and saw no improvement, I am concerned with 2 things. Airflow and heat sensor itself (this assumes you installed the HSF properly and have good contact between the HSF and the CPU).

Make sure your airflow is as unobstructed as possible. You may need to move/tidy cabling. Also, you should consider installing a front case fan (or 2) that pulls cool air into the case (the rear fan should pull hot air from the case and exhaust it out the rear).

If adding these fans has no affect, then you likely have a faulty temp sensor. Not really an issue as long as you don't overclock the CPU.

Good luck!

No, it may actually make your situation worse. Having 2 fans (front pulls in cool air, rear sucks out hot air and exhausts out back) increases your airflow quite a bit. Adding another fan is inexpensive and very easy to install. The fans themselves usually have small arrows on them to tell you which way the air moves when the fan is operating.

You are most welcome, my friend. Good luck!

I doubt your temps are correct as AMD Phenom II CPUs start to malfunction above 60C. Try "Core Temp" and see what it shows for temps. The OE HSF will keep the CPU around 60C with Prime 95. The OE HSF is noisy when running at full speed. I concur that front and rear case fans are mandatory for basic cooling.

1.33v is about as close to stock as you can get --- except Turbo will send higher volts to different cores. That's where CPUz can fail at giving an accurate reading. A few cores may be running 1.33v -- and others may be running much higher

AMD OverDrive (I think) will list each core and its individual voltages. Asus Probe may also give you a better reading but I don't believe it will break things down by 'core,' either, like CPUz.

And if I recall, Asus on older AMD chipsets did some bizzaro volt funk. In the BIOS there should be an "LCC" setting used to help control volt drops. There were some issues in early BIOSs but the current ones (I think) helped smooth out some of the volt swings and peaks/drops.

If your volts are flying high, then dropping back, that could be driving some of your temp issues. If you have LCC available in your BIOS you may want to experiment a bit and see if it helps.

Otherwise, another fan may help, and you might see if disabling Turbo does anything for you.

hey my phenom x6 1100t was running soooo hot and the fan was at 6000rpm....i went to the control panel and hardware&sound and Power options click on balanced if its still running hot....click on change plan settings then advanced power settings..go down processor power management then minimum processor state change it to 5% then maximum to 100% the prob myt be ur pc is runing at full 3.30ghz
