cpu temperture

[OhSnapWord]

Looking at your temps, I don't see much of a problem. A little warm, but what is the cooling situation? Do you have the stock cooler or an aftermarket one?

i would say a stock cooler, i did notthink there was a major problem because if there was the system would either not start up or would over heat and shut done which it has never done. do you think i should replace the thermal paste.

 

[OhSnapWord]

You should only replace the paste if you remove the heat sink.

 

[nigel1231]

I had to remove the heat sink to clean it, that is when i noticed there was not much paste on it. I think the best method to put paste on is what they call the dot method. would you use rubbing alcohol to remove the old paste before applying new paste

 

[OhSnapWord]

I do. Moisten a paper towel with rubbing alcohol and clean the CPU surface.

Just to add if you don't have rubbing alcohol (Nail Varnish Remover works very well ... see your Girlfriend / Wife or Mum)

hi can anyone help me please not to sure but i think cpu temperture could be a little high, if so should i clean the cpu and heat sink and apply new thermal paste. I have a amd athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 3800+ 2.01 ghz here is a report i have from using everest ultimate software program.

Sensor Type Asus F8000 (ISA 290h)

Temperatures
Motherboard 33 °C (91 °F)
CPU 38 °C (100 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #1 47 °C (117 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #2 46 °C (115 °F)
MCP 61 °C (142 °F)
Aux 28 °C (82 °F)
Seagate ST3160815AS 36 °C (97 °F)

Cooling Fans
CPU 1750 RPM
Chassis 898 RPM

Voltage Values
CPU Core 1.68 V
+3.3 V 3.36 V

If that is under load then those are some great temps. If that's idle then you could use to dust out your pc. What is MCP? Video Card? I would definitely put some AC5 on that because its pretty hot.
