Is there something wrong?

A

Is there something wrong with my CPU or SpeedFan doesn't work properly..because from 3 months..I have been seeing these values..and those degrees change only by a value of + or - 1.

Try some other software. Sometimes speedfan doesn't work for some people.

Suggest some other software

.

Core Temp
Real Temp
HWMonitor

In HWiNfo64 it shows that ThermMon is throttling. What does that mean? While core 1 is at 44 degrees core 2 is at 94 degrees..

^^that means your processor is getting too hot and it can be seen in second core reading.post your complete configuration.

A

Intel Dual Core E5200
ASUS P5QPL - AM
2 GB RAM
8400GS GPU
iBall PSU 400W
Standard CPU Cooler
250GB HDD
Win 7 64bit

Post a CoreTemp screenshot.

run prime95 and check whether your system is stable or not.also try some more software to confirm that your processor is overheating.
IF you find temperature is going above 85-90C then please stop the test to protect your hardware

CoreTemp screenshot. Ran Prime95 for 25 minutes..temperature went upto 147 degrees as per HWMonitor Info.

Okay those temperatures are way too high.Try cleaning the heatsink first,if the temperature doesn't some down time to apply some new thermal paste.

@arjun killer,
reapply the thermal paste.

Guys, I will be upgrading my PC in the next 2-3 months. Do you think this one will hold on till then? Without the paste.

that temp is rly high , if u dont want to buy good AM tim and apply i suggest u to reapply atlest a local TIM (cheap one )

147 degrees? :shock:

Apply good thermal paste or stop using your computer. Something is going very wrong with your rig.

give a thorough cleaning of your processor HSF. remove old TIM & apply fresh layer. also check if the HSF is loose. i really feel there is some space between processor & HSF else processor temp shouldn't get that high.

BTW, have you recently tried disassembling your PC? or cleaning? sometimes the pushpins gets broken & then these kind of overheat problem starts.

I think that its the sensors at fault. The CPU would have fried at 147.

I recently had removed the HSF and re-applied TIM but in the process 1 clamp got twisted and doesn't fit properly. The fan is a bit loose. What should I do now because I dont have anymore TIM left. Can I just repair the clamp and then screw the clamp back to the motherboard?

the process of removing & refitting hsf is complicated refer to the manual or take help of a tecnitian I think u have to twist the clamps before appling pressure to lock also check the temps in bios no way can the proccy resist 147

exactly as i thought. you cleaned your PC, heatsink, try to install it again. it doesn't get installed. put pressure & one of those pushpin/clamp gets broken. you fix it that way & run your PC.

get a new cooler. a KOOLER MASTER HSF (brought one a year ago) will cost around 200 bucks.

buy a cheap cooler master heat sink for about 0.2 -0.3k as suggested by sam.

Ok.. I came to know of the problem..The TIM that was applied was too thick. I made the TIM almost translucent by evening it by credit card and now the temperatures stay between 45-49 at idle.

^^ Still too high as idle temperature. That temperature should be well accepted as high load temperature.

yes the idle temp is too high.what is the load temperature?

A

After running Prime95 for 2 hours temperature was 63. Didn't go higher. I'm buying a new rig in 2-3 months. Don't you think 45-49 will last me that much?

I also think there is a problem with my sensors.because for some minutes it shows me temperatures of 32 degrees at idle but suddenly goes upto 76 in 1 second then comes back to 54 and after sometime stays idle at 45..doesn't change a single bit. I have tried this with CoreTemp, SpeedFan, HWMonitor etc.

If load temperature is 63, then it will last for next 2-3 months easily in one condition: stop your gaming habit (if you have any)

63 is alright even if he games,but still, lower the better.

just try to drag this system for a couple of months more
and then you;l be buying a whole new system

btw 147 degrees is impossible
"sensors" are faulty

A

The maximum temperature listed on Intel's website is 74.1 degrees so I think that I am in the safe limit.
