Well..i was playing battlefield today, everything was going just fine but just then my pc got shutdown nd while restrting in BIOS MENU it showed me it is more then 98% :\

Note: There is no CPU COOLER INSTALLED

Please explain me why this happening to my brand new rig :\\



Also please suggest me some CPU coolers.

Thanks !

I think TickTock meant no custom cooler. Generally comps don't start with no coolers.

@ TickTock: Post a screenshot of any temperature analyzer like:
Real Temp - CPU temperature monitoring
or
Speedfan.

Also, attach a pic of your rig. Looking at your case, i don't think there is any problem with airflow.

BTW: congrats on the rig.

First of all:

1. When you open the bios is the normal mode selected? Or Turbo mode? Anyway switch to normal mode.
2. Look at top right corner of mobo(when the system is turned on), is any of the leds glowing? If yes, then flick the corresponding switch(after shutting the system down) other way so the LEDs do not turn on.
3. Now go to BIOS, go to advance mode, in CPU settings, make sure max CPU frequency is set to 3.8GHz and auto is selected in turbo settings.

If this does not fix it then reseat the cpu cooler and add some good quality thermal paste.

PS: I have a 2600k and the stock cooler is horribly inadequate to keep the temps down, get the CM hyper 212+ if you want to play it cool.

hello guys,
These r the pics of my rig taken by my laptop cam :\

I hope after seeing this you guys can solve my problem :x

Anyways m going to NEHRU PLACE market now to take CMH N620 Cooler :)

Hope that Fixes the problem :)

yaar meine 1 lakh se bhi zada kharch kardiye hai aur bc ye computer sirf games khelne ke liye tha lakin issmei bhi laptop ki tarah overheating prob agai WTF

Please guys...tell me after installing cpu cooler will it work fine ??

The cooler is loose, reseat it and apply some good Thermal paste(like TX4) or buy a new cooler all together like N620 and seat it properly this time.

TickTock,

You may try reseating the cooler.
This may be helpful: How to Install a CPU and Heatsink | FreeComputerRepair.com
This time use a good thermal paste. I have seen 99% of people cleaning the processor (even the GPUs) and adding a new thermal paste.
I have heard a lot about Artic Silver being a good thermal paste. You can go for cooler master also if you don't find a better brand at Nehru Place (I tried a lot to get hold of Artic Silver, but looks like no dealer at NP).

I may be wrong, but looking at your pics, the processor surrounded by obstructions (blue and red (RAM) structures) and may be causing the heated air not disperse properly. If you get the same results even after reseating the heatsink, then you have to get a custom cooler.

Even my GPU goes more then 75 Degree..is it normal??

Please advice :\

^^ GPU temp is normal if it's under load.

Regarding cpu temp most of the chances you've not mounted it properly - I suggest you to get a new cpu cooler like CM Hyper 212+ around ~1.9k and have peace of mind ;-)

GPU GOES TO 75 TO 80+ while playing games like battlefield etc..is it normal ??

And, CPU goes more 85 sometimes 90 also[while gaming]..are these shutdown caused by cpu or gpu :O

custom cooler will be able to solve my overheating problem?? or should i get liquid cooling kit ?

Also, please Tell me how much temperature should CPU and GPU should stay on idle mode and while doing heavy work like playing gaming and graphic designing :\

I Cnt even sleep and work properly from past 7 days...this overheating problem is killing me :\

PS: I want to Cool both my gpu and cpu.
Suggest me some custom cooler or water cooling kit according to that.

Idle cpu temp should be around 40c and load temp should not cross 75C.

though these GPU can sustain much heat than CPU it should not cross 85C IMO and as your gpu has custom cooling it should not cross even 80C ( what's the ambient temp in your locality )

Assume all the fans properly installed in your cabby - the source of over heating is the CPU / Loose heat sink - try to gently shkae the cpu cooler - if it's properly mounted it won't wobble - use some temp monitoring app like HWmonitor/HWinfo etc. to monitor the cpu fan RPM speed / hdd temp and post them here.

After market cpu coolers has much better mounting mechanism compared to stock cpu heatsink and their cooling performance is much better - so a after market cpu cooler like CM Hyper 212+ ( or better depends on your budget ) should reduce the exceesive heat of the cpu - thus reducing the overall system temp.

Thanks for all information :)

In simple words..All i need is a Good Custom Cooler which will reduce my system overall heat and i would be able to game as much i want right?


Some Questions:
1.Is there any cooler available in the market that can reduce both CPU AND GPU TEMP ?

2.custom cooler would allow me to play game as much hours i want?? no more shutdowns??

3.Do i need of water cooling kit or just simple custom cooler will be able to reduce the heat ?



Lastly, can some 1 suggest me water cooling kit..just in case my mind changes >_<

1. Nah, you have to purchase separate cooler for CPU & GPU.

2. Sure. :) Still it's better to take a break every hour, just to loosen your body a bit.

3. Get a good air cooler, that will be sufficient.

@OP:
Even on stock you should not get such high temperatures for your CPU. If you are not going to OC, stock should be fine. Either TIM is not right, or the mount is loose.

^^ GPU load and idle and HDD temps are normal.
CPU fan speed normal, cpu load and idle temps are on higher side.

BTW, speedfan is not a great piece of app when it comes to measuring temp - iut's need proper calibaration before using - you better use HWmonitor/HWinfo and they both are free ;-)

Sorry to say this, but it seems to me they are trying to get rid of the C70 stock. Anyway, C70 is a superb cooler but at 6k very costly, IMO. You do get clean looks, good cooling with the added risk of leaking coolant all over your precious hardware.

BTW, have you tried any other store?

@TickTock: u CPU temp is high while gaming...what is the temp when not gaming?
I hope its working properly while not gaming...

also it may happen that the CPU has manufacturing fault but thats rare...
also the stock CPU cooler is good to control temps if u dont overclock.

but as others suggested get a custom CPU cooler.

do u use AC @ home?

so dey advised me to get H80 installed in my rig.
Now all temps are normal..but today when i tried to installed some software i figured out that my DVD writer is not reading disc but it was working fine b4 going to that assembler :O

Now do i have to go Nehru place again :-x or i can fix it up myself???

He told me to give him 2 days time..he gonna change motherboard or cpu anyhing which is causing problem and this time i gonna run prime95, bfbc2 and etc app to check my cpu load and temps in front of him.

Corsair H80 installation was done by our own SMC people in front of my naked eyes..i guess dey installed it correctly.

I had faced similar issue once with a XFX 8600GT - Rashi was refusing RMA and saying there's fungus on gfx card - actually they were pointing to dust and said it's physical damage and they can't replace it - a had called and mailed them so many times but they did not listened. One day I went there with my elder bro and he scolded the shop guy and the service center guy really well and they gave me a brand new box pack card as replacement ;-)

Another Incident I had once with mora mobo - this one went kaput next day after purchase and I went into the shop to replace it and they replaced it with another one and I asked them to test the unit in front of me and when they tested the replaced one it was not working and they were giving some sick reasons like the cpu they have is not supported by the mobo and stuff like that - I called up my elder bro, we had a hard talk with the shop guys and they refunded our money back ;-)

This Pc sales guys and service center guys ( most of them ) are so ignorant about customers that they do not want to honour our basic rights as a customer unless they get some hard treatment like these ;-)

So what you did is just right - wish you all the best ;-)

naaa...all items were opened but due to my mom contacts in police i managed to get cash back just 2 hours ago..he was saying "sir plz lelo ye rig..its fine now..mere bahot nuksaan hojayega but truth was both SMC AND SHOP I BOUGHT THIS RIG FAILED TO FIX THIS RIG." Dey changed CPU, GPU with brand new sealed cpu nd gpu but it didn't reduced temps little bit...then they started saying der must be problem in motherboard and wait for some more days but we didn't felt like waiting more nd got our money refunded. Nvm i learned a good lesson from this situation :)

I am bit disappointed..it really hurts when you buy a expensive items and dey FAIL to work :\

Just talked to my mom on phone..PC wala told her der is some problem in Graphic card displacement something like that and he will change it WTf?..will be going to assembler shop in 1 hour.

UPDATE:
Well I went with my father and mother this time to nehru place...well heres the short story..
Through contacts of my mother in Nehru place we called SHO[police wala] of that area and he threatened him directly in his shop "told him fix the rig either by tomorrow 4 pm or give the *BEEP* money back"....well i cnt tell u full story in writing but we did lots of gali galoj with him :lol::lol:...just waiting for tomorrow to get back the *BEEP* money as i am sure dey wont be able to fix the rig...:lol::lol:

I think SMC were just playing around with you, and not doing anything to the parts. Could be a faulty CPU or motherboard. Overheating with bad thermals.

Aree..I went like 6 times to Nehru place and he never showed his face..he use to talk to me on phone and keeps on sending me to SMC WORKSHOP with his worker..I told me 100 TIMES CPU IS faulty..but still he keeps saying install corsair H80 Nd it will fix overheating problem...blah blah....then finally i got H80 installed but still it was overheating like hell..then he started making stories that you dnt knw hw to run pc..der r voltage problem in ur house nd stuff...then i told everything to my dad..then this DRAMA happened and now tomorrow will be getting pc fully in good state or money will be refunded !

If PC doesn't works fine..then he have to return my parents money at any cost..and then i might wait for bulldozer series.

Sorry to hear this, but at least you set them straight. That is how things work at SMC. By the way, you know the names of the people you were dealing with at SMC.

Good, they learnt a lesson. We can advice you later, when ever you are ready to make another purchase. Guess SMC is bad...as usual
