Strange heat problem with CPU and MB
This is a concerning issue to me, because it has now happened a few times. The problem is there does not seem to be any consistency to when it occurs.
Usually my computer is on most of the entire day. The last few months I did put a lot of stress by rendering 3d animations with CPU. Some of these renders lasted as long as 5-6 hrs at a time.
But what seems strange is that this problem is occuring now, very infrequently 2 or 3 times in the last couple of weeks without really putting much stress on the CPU. I'll just kind of notice, what I think is the fans are running loud and constant... I'll check my temps using speccy, and they are running very hot
BOTH the CPU and Motherboard are indicating these high temps
I did vacuum out any dust, I still need to get some compressed air and really get into the cpu area a little closer.
But what I don't understand, is I can power off the computer for a few minutes, turn it back on, and then not have any issues for days with it.
Here are my specs
CPU Intel core I7 2600 @ 3.4 ghz sandy bridge 32 mm
motherboard MSI67A-c43
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.
