Hi,
I recently upgraded to a Pentium 4 3.2ghz Prescot CPU.
I knew they ran hotter than northwood but surely my temp is far to hot...
This is the temp reports i am getting from 2 different proggys at the same time:
FAN @ 1800rpm = CPU @ 74c
FAN @ 3500rpm = CPU @ 73c
MOBO @ 33c when CPU @ 74c
MOBO @ 32c when CPU @ 73c
Due to the fact that with nearly a 2000rpm difference the CPU only goes up 1c is kind of telling me that i have a problem with the temp reader on the mobo - could i be right?
The heat sink i have at the moment is Cooler Master Aero 4 (or simular - with fan control for front of case), i took it off today and cleaned it up like new and used "Artic Silver" Thermal grease on it, but the temps have not changed at all (not even by 1c).
I also have 1 outlet fan and 1 inlet fan inside the case.
Ummmm.........
I only have my G-Card and a PCI G-Card on mobo,
plus 2 HDD (1 x 200gb & 1 x 80gb),
Floppy drive,
CD-RW + DVD-RW,
650w PSU (2 fans),
1gb Memory.
Personally i would not have thought that the above bits would not affect the temp that much.
Also temps dont change if i take the sides off of the case and put a 16" summer fan blowing air into the PC on full speed.
Again this leads me to think that the prob is the mobo temp reader...
Please can someone give some advice.
