I am actually living in the north(Norway). But It is very hot in our casa, about 20C - 25C, so then the temperature isn't to bad?


Thanks!

Run the prime95 high temp torture test. If it doesn't crash within 1 hour, your temps are fine.

55 is way to hot it should average around 40 to 45 with no load on the CPU perhaps in a game it might read 55 but my guess is it would crash the game to desktop or restart the computer.

If you have temps as high as 55 C on the CPU Diode with no load it is way to high.

Download a program called Aida32 its free and full version it will also show you temperatures at the desktop this way you can compare what you see in BIOS against what you see at the desktop.

If you get the same mean temp's go and get a new CPU cooler and some new thermal paste.

My wife's 2800+ is set at 12.5X179 it wont hold 180 and a core voltage of 7 Volts.

It has 2 extra case fans exhausting air and one fan blowing on the RAM chips that also have heat sinks on them and the CPU Cooler is a thermaltake high end cooler.

Average no load on CPU temps are 40 C

Is this kind of like your monitor running with a refresh rate of 85MHz?
