Well, this is something new for me, it seems as if I'm running a bit hot...but only under load. First off, here's my system, and I think my sig is up to date but if not I'll list everything:
Asus P5N-E 650 SLI Mobo
Intel C2D 6420 CPU @ Stock 2.13Ghz
ATI Radeon X1950XT GPU w/ 256MB GDDR3 Ram
4GB of Patriot DDR2 800 RAM
320GB Seagate HD
2 Samsung DVD writers w/ lightscribe
(System is about 8-10 months old now)
I just got Assassin's Creed and I decided to pop 'er in for a go and after about 4-5 hours of play I exited to find massively high temps that I've never seen before (I've played COD4, Crysis, and others on max for hours and hours never to see high temps on exit).
My CPU was at 48C and my GPU was at 76C!!!! That just seems like fire to me, and it's abnormal for my system to run that hot. I've got a gajillion case fans...a 120mm in front to pull air in, 80mm blowing on GPU, 80mm pulling hot air from CPU (both of those on the side viewing panel) and 2 80mm's in the back -- top exhaust, bottom inlet...so I'm not skimping on fans by any means and my case is roomy. So here's what I've come up with...
A) First order of business is to fully clean the case
B) Second, I might try to reseat the heatsink with new thermal paste because when I built it, I just used the thermal that was already applied to the heatsink and didn't bother to install my own.
C) If the first two don't work, should I buy a new HSF? I'm using the stock intel right now, and it HAS been working fine, but I'm not sure I guess. I looked at my RPMs in SpeedFan and it was revving up to 2200 when I exited A.C...that's 100% speed...and it is set at 100% perm. as well.
I just thought the temps were a bit high...and I know it is because my CPU was maxing at 100% during the game because after sitting for 10 minutes I'm back down to a CPU temp of 38C and GPU temp of 66C. Tell me what you think.....
As always, you guys are always the greatest!
Thanks for any help!
