Bendery It Like Beckham

So i finally have my new computer up, I'm posting from it even...

Problem... PC probe says my CPU is running at 81c

I don't know what to do, I've remounted the fan like 5 times, added thermal grease (arctic silver 5) and made sure that my fans were sucking and blowing in the right order... I'm scared dudes...

I'm IDLING at 81c

ice ice baby

Grandaddy Delicious

you sure your thermometer is accurate?

Bendery It Like Beckham

I'm not sure, i took it out and touched it (burn burn lol)

And it really didn't feel that hot...

I don't know what to do, should I calibrate it some how?

I saw a freezer once

it wasn't cold at all

the sales man told me that I couldn't live in there anymore

what a dick

Knob

is your heat sink attached properly

with lots of thermal pastes


you probably need more thermal pastes

for a temporary solution, peanut butter actually conducts heat well so you can use some of that if you are out of thermal paste

Air

uh i think if it was actually at 81c it would not be running at all

i used to have overheating problems with a computer and it wouldnt run after 40 or 50 degrees or something
nowhere near 81

81 is crazy

see what happens if you leave it off overnight or something then quickly check the temp when you turn it on


also why not check what it says in the bios
i dont know what pc probe is

I still have half a tube of arctic silver 5... I put a good amount on... are you saying to add more?

Bendery It Like Beckham

Yeah, i figured it would melt by about 70c so I'm rather confused...

also my CPU fan is running at pretty much top speed for it's little piece of shit motor (1739 rpm)

and my mobo is only at 30c

I'm running a 6300 Core2 Duo and 2 gigs of ram at 667mhz... I didn't overclock or anything.

These are fucking weird temps

Do you have any other fans in there? Is your casing open?

Silmaril

Too much thermal paste can also cause overheating.

bsjezz

the suspense is terrible!

i hope it will last

same goes with cocks

Well when that baby hits 88, your gonna see some serious shit.

Bendery It Like Beckham

Well, it's just a good amount, i didn't think it was too much... maybe i should take it off and start over.

Also I have 6 case fans

2 in front suckin, 2 in back blowing, one on the side suckin, one on the top blowin

grug

all that suckin and blowin would make anyone hot

Where I come from that kind of service costs a fortune

Wevs

You need vapor-compression refrigeration or thermoelectric coolers.

Abdul the Terrible

Booyeah! Two in a row!

Grayman222

Put it in your bathtub and it'll make a perfect hottub. Overclock the cpu a lil to get it up to 100c and crank up the fans so they make nice jets. Then just hop in and enjoy bro.

Wevs

That was pretty good, Grug.

Knob

alright i will actually be helpful

you don't want to use a lot of thermal grease, the most important thing is for it be be very evenly applied

apply it, smooth it with like the edge of a credit card, then attach heatsink



i doubt its the paste though

seriously at that temp, something should just melt or it should refuse to go at all

i would check your thermostaty thing first

Knob

also add peanut butter

Bendery It Like Beckham

well, after these windows updates I'm gonna turn it off, and check it tomorrow afternoon... watch how fast it heats up then call FreshMasterFresh and see if he wants to help me fix it
