| 310557 | 2005-01-04 07:23:00 | i think my CPU is running too hot i have an AMD Athlon Xp 3200+ wat is the basic temp mine is running around 54 - 56 degrees celcius i use EasyTune4 to check the temp I posted a thread recently as my Semperon 2500+ is running at 58 degrees.... That isn't dangerously hot. What does the bios report it as? Make sure the fan/heatsink is on properly, and there is not too much, or too little thermal paste on the CPU core. I'd also invest in a case fan ($8 from DSE) which dropped the temp reported on mine by about 3 degrees. |

| 310558 | 2005-01-04 07:34:00 | i typed it wrong it now reaches temp between 54 - 60 degrees celcsius.. i have a fan in the power supply at the back a fan on the cpu & a fan on the front of the case.. i have now removed one side of the case & am running a 30cm fan into it.. |

| 310559 | 2005-01-04 07:36:00 | does any 1 have any suggestions of heatsink/fan combo's or any suggestions on wat i shud use as cooling in the computer? | jus.need.help (6704) | ||
| 310560 | 2005-01-04 07:43:00 | how about if you purchase some more fans? those 120mm fans are dirt cheap these days, it seems to me you need more air flow through the case, is your cpu overclocked? are you using a standard HSF? |

| 310561 | 2005-01-04 07:48:00 | it is not overclocked it is still at the same 2.21GHZ speed i bought it at.. i am using the HSF that came standard with the processor | jus.need.help (6704) | ||
| 310562 | 2005-01-04 07:54:00 | it is not overclocked it is still at the same 2.21GHZ speed i bought it at.. i am using the HSF that came standard with the processor yeah, you might aswell get a better HSF, dont have an AMD so i cant recommend a good one, but someone else here could, but still you need more air flow through your case, is your system a branded machine perhaps? |

| 310563 | 2005-01-04 08:46:00 | Although your reported temperature is a bit on the high side, it's not going to fry at that . Is the temperature under laod, as in playing games, intensive CPU load or, at idle? As stated, check the temperature reported in the BIOS, perhaps download and try a different monitoring programme . The "reported" temperatures are natoriously unreliable, they can not be trusted . Who built the PC? |

| 310564 | 2005-01-05 03:47:00 | My AMD 3000+ O/C about 200mhz only gets up to about 42 degrees under full load. I've got a massive case though, with good air cooling. And I have the stock HSF | Cryhavoc (6776) | ||
