i dont want to get a water cooling because that would just be masking a problem if you get what i mean. if the cpu temp is at 70 will the heatsink be about the same? could i measure the temp of the heatsink to determin whether it was the cpu and or mother board that is causing the problems?
Yes but try to get the temp off the base plate and not the fins of the cooler but even they will be fairly close in temp I would suspect.
right, ill get a thermometer and check
which would you preferlol couldnt get a temp off it with standard one but tested my pit which was warm and was 36. so i thought 60 should feel pretty hotish. the heatsink feel cold?
You can get one of those temp guns but really I would just use software. Also most fan controllers also have probes that you could stick right to the fins down low.
i know for a fact that the temp isnt more than 40. the heatsink just isnt hot enough. possible motherboard problems
Well my rig is running at 47-51c. Not sure why the concern, is the CPU/rig not running well ?
the rig is running fine but the beeps are always going to be there if i dont solve the problem or unplug the speaker
