So warm weather has come, and I did expect my CPU temp to go up. Buuuuut, not to this extent. I was playing GTA:SA last night, and it started to get funky, freezing up randomly and then continuing gameplay. I had a sneaking suspicion it was my CPU temp, cuz I had noticed it was creeping up. Sure enough, my freakin' CPU was at 63 C. I shut my computer down then. I did some rewiring to improve airflow (it was a mess inside my case) but this only furthered my issues.
When I went to boot up my computer again, it wouldn't do anything, no beeps, nothing... so I shut it off manually and tried again. After two more tries, it worked, I got a message from the BIOS saying my system was now in safe mode and to reset all overclocking (i haven't overclocked at all). I continued from there, and got back to windows. So occasionally that happens now, most of the time, after I get passed this, my system can go on and off with no problems. Could that be caused from the excessive heat? I rechecked my wiring, and I don't think that is the issue. The PSU is brand new, a 480w Coolmax.
I have a Thermaltake Venus 12 CPU fan/heatsink for cooling. People have given it good reviews and it seemed to have a really good impact on temperatures... and it did for the most part. The highest I was getting on my CPU was 50 C. How could it jump 12 C like that? It doesn't make sense that temperature would go up this much.
let me know if you need more information, i have plenty i left out because of the size of the post...
