help! high cpu temp 131degf

[mikey5150]

replaced my mini twin orb heatsink/fan with dragon orb 3. used artic silver II but still have high temps. 1400 mhz amd not oc'd...please advise btw mobo is abit kt7a, using mobo mon 5 and have 2 intake and 4 exhaust fans

Check if your VCore is set to 1.75V. Did you use just a little drop of Arctic Silver and smoothed it to a very thin layer on the core? How have you placed your casefans?

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

v core is 1.75v..small amt of artic silver..enermax p.s. has fan on bottom to suck air above processor to exhaust out back of p.s. plus 2 more exhaust fan at back even and below hs/proc

sorry i may not be the best but..

you do got cooling fans in there right?
and id use a copper heat sink as it conducts heat better...

but yea mate check the voltage,and what speed fsb do you got it at?

what are you useing (program) to get the temps?
make sure that you got the heatsink mounted flush with the chip.

What are you room temps? If they are around 30C then it is difficult to cool a PC below 40C.

THE MAIN CAUSE FOR GLOBAL WARMING- MY KICK ASS ATHALON XP

dragon orb 3 is copper core this machine is not oc'd so fsb is default, voltage 1.79v

 

[mikey5150]

tried 3 different progs...mobo mon 5, via hardware monitor and another can't remember name but same results

 

[mikey5150]

case temp is 23deg c or 73 degf, room is about 65 degf...high temp strickly at chip...changed fan to 80mm enermax adjustable speed...temp down to 46degc or 119 degf

do you got lots of ide,pci,isa, and so on things that are using the cpu's power?...

and/or in windows do you got alot of things running like loads and loads of programes?

and when cooling your system.. do you got hdd cooling fan sets?

and have you tryed a different cpu? if you have one around!

oh and try running the system without the side on the case... go into the bios and see if the temp has dropped?

good luck mate

sound card, nic, modem and 1394 card,all ide cables are rounded....not many programs running at start though. no hdd fan. my 1300 athlon also ran hot. had a brief use of a 1700xp which ran MUCH cooler (about 15 deg celius) but was not supported by my mobo (wrong version of abit kt7a) so it was returned for the 1400 athlon t-bird. Side of case off only reduced 1-2 deg celcius.

Then it is the fan that causes the high temps, you have to change it with a fan that has a much higher airflow.
