Cpu temperature

[solobeano]

i have a phenom x6 1045t and it idles at 50 c and while in game goes up to 64 sometimes 70, are those ok temp?


just installed xfx 6770 wondering if that is the problem

Those temps are high! The 6770 is not the problem unless it is restricting airflow! Either improve airflow in the case or get a better CPU cooler!

just added two new fans cpu dropped to 45c idle 50 load but in game its at 65c (airflow is about 28 c) using cpuid monitor is cpu temp different from cores temp

different yes. and the HSF is the problem. What case do you have, and what cooler do you have? are you running an OC, because if you are not, then the chip is faulty. No chip runs that hot in any case with stock cooler at stock settings. You did apply Thermal Paste right? I have some people who didnt, and after i laugh, i tell them to get some.

i think i know what the problem is , sadly i have a hp pavlion series 500y , i installed a xfx 6770 and two new fans ,it has the cpu i phenom x6 1045 ,the reason for the upgrade it had already a 6450 wanted to play bf3 but wanted to get temps down going to run it and see how temps are if temps are still high going to downgrade video card also there is only room for one fan which is in the back , i installed a fan from the outside pulling air in , it will probably fit inside the case but not sure if it should be pointed right at the cpu

In the back it should be pulling air out.

so i am currently installing bf3 and i put a side fan pulling air in right on the cpu and one in the back releasing all the hot air i got it down to 35 to 40 degrees not sure if fan is suppose to be blasting air right on top of cpu fan

 

[solobeano]

ok so while in game cpu got up to 66 degrees is that ok

Apparently your (HP's) CPU cooler is not up to the task your Idle is fine but load high.

i want to upgrade cpu fan but dont know what will work or fit
any recommendation,not to pricy
or tips on how to keep it down

 

[rolli59]

Which one depends on the space in the case. Something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103064 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233001 might fit but you will have to measure them out.

 

[solobeano]

i dont know which one will fit and is compatible
