Worried about my temps

[ironsidexx]

Hi im worried about my cpu temps while gaming it goes up to 70c and over


my specs:

AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core stock cooler
Gigabyte M68MT-S2
8 gb ram
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6950 2gb overclocked ed

 

[mocchan]

That's definitely really hot for an AMD CPU...Have you overclocked at all? How's your cable management? Also, is there a lot of dust build up?

 

[nikorr]

Bit high. So the CPU is not OC'd?

 

[ironsidexx]

No it'S not OC'D

 

[nikorr]

How old is this set up?

Is it something new, those temps?

Old build?

New build?

 

[ironsidexx]

I got it at the end of 2011 so kind of new i guess. The gpu is new i got that like a week ago.

 

[nikorr]

Is there a dust in the CPU cooler? U can blow it out with compressed air in the can every now and than, when the PC is off.

 

[ironsidexx]

about the temps.

i dont no because i never really look at temps till i got my ne gpu.

i had a hd 5570 before

 

[ironsidexx]

there is no dust on the heatsink

 

[nikorr]

Check, if u don't have this under the fan : )

 

[nikorr]

OK, I can see now your new response : )

 

[ironsidexx]

[nikorr]

I don't think so, unless you have some old case.

Whats your case?

 

[nikorr]

Did u apply the thermal paste on the CPU cooler by yourself?

[ironsidexx]

and no i did not.

 

[nikorr]

OK, how many fans do u have in your case?

Any picture?

 

[nikorr]

Can u use this for your temps and run the Prime95?

And post the results - max temps from Coretemp?

No rear fan also?

 

[nikorr]

Do u have this one?

 

[ironsidexx]

no i dont have that

and its been running for 15 mins now

 

[nikorr]

Don't watch the benchmark, watch the temps!

 

[nikorr]

What are the max temps so far?

How long is it running?

The temps will start rising to high temp levels.

When in 80 degree mark, than exit the Prime95 by clicking in left upper corner on TEST and select exit.

Or it may run in the background : )
