HH_RitterCuda Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 ok i put power to the new rig and went right into the bios Can a E8400 get to 70C in less then a min? the hardware contoler say it was at 70C but that seems to fast. ideas?

DD_Brando Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Offhand, I would say that 70*C is approaching a critical overheat temperature for a CPU. I can't be sure of this as I use AMD and watercooling, but a CPU at 70 degrees would really have me worried. I'd look immediately at my heat-sink to ensure that it is fitted properly and making full contact with the CPU, via a suitable layer of thermal paste. Obviously I would check to see that the fan(s) worked properly too. Are you sure you are reading the BIOS temps correctly? Is there a real-time temperature monitor included with the motherboard software? Unless an Intel expert shows up and says 70 degrees is, er, cool for these processors, I'd be taking urgent steps to find out what's going on.

gec Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 70 *C is way to much. check that u have fitted your CPU cooler in the right way. sometimes can get stuck @ surrounding plastic and not sitting on the CPU how it should. another thing could be that the showing temp is wrong but not likely. At least not that much. In any case do not run it for more that few minutes at a time till u fix the prob. If the proc (i know this was a fact on earlier Intel processors) is really overheating the proc will shut down the computer. But i would not bet my money on it.

What he said - While it's one thing for a GPU to get to that temperature, there's no way the CPU should be that hot. Couple of questions; Are you using the stock cooler? Have you removed the tape from the underside of the heatsink and then cleaned both the top of the processor and the heatsink using a suitable cleaner (I use a specialist one, but anything alcohol based should be OK)? Have you applied a thin layer of thermal compound (the thinner the better)? Have you checked fans, seating of heatsinks etc? There are a number of Hardware monitoring programs out there. I use CPUID Hardware Monitor which is free and will report core, GPU and HDD temps plus fan speeds and a number of other things I don't understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH_RitterCuda Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 well 3rd try worked seem to be stable at 39C for the first 5 min. I was in a panic over the high heat in lees the 30 sec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I seem to recall some motherboards not reading the temperature correctly. Maybe a quick google to see if your fears might be groundless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 25, 2009 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 if it is a windows than u have to use a floppy that should be supplied with motherboard or upgrade your windows xp installation disk to sp3. both methods one are not to simple. vista should recognize it from start. Indeed. Although these days, the mainboards tend to arrive with a floppy disk image for the SATA drivers on the driver CD so you can create your own - joy. What OS are you planning to use m8, and what Service Pack revision is it? ~S~ Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 nevermind it wont run the 64 bit application so it must be the 32 bit version i have to use. ACPI temp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH_RitterCuda Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 How long before you'll be able to do an fps check on the Black Death track? well It needs a op system first.

They are here Nick: http://www.dangerdogz.com/Office/Maintenance/p2_articleid/4 I'll be adding the tweaking guide over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
