Windows 7: CPU Temps way to high please help

Layback Bear · 06 Aug 2013

Please look at my specs again.
Then tick on your specs and then tick on (Update Your Specs)
You have a cooling problem.
What case do you use (air flow)
What cpu cooler and fans do you have?
What power supply do you have and just for the hell of it what Anti Virus program do you use?
**Are you over clocked?
Your temps of 77C is when the computer is under what load (%)?

He already added his computer information, he shows that his CPU is actually underclocked, possibly forced from thermal temps, and that he uses a water cooling system and that these are idle system temps.

When I look in his specs I don't see that information.
What water cooling system their are hundreds of them.

Weird. I do. Though I had to refresh first. Maybe close and reopen your tab on this page?

Let me know if im supposed to be looking at a dif tab or w.e

@Herqulees my water cooling is attached to the cpu fine, the fan is spinning perfect, and i can hear the water pumping as always so i don't think there's anything wrong with it (i might be wrong tho)

thanks so much for the replys guys, means alot!

How about the air coming out of the radiator? Is it cool, warm, very hot? Have you done anything in the BIOS to disable the CPUs power saving features? You have almost the same CPU I had on an old gaming build of mine (AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition @3.4GHz) and when I disabled the power saving features in BIOS the temps skyrocketed. From an idle of 25-30C to 55-65C after it was running for awhile.
EDIT: It's called AMD Cool and Quiet and was listed in my BIOS as CPU Phase Control.

The air coming out of the radiator is slightly cool, i went into bios and my AMD Cool and quiet was already set to "Auto" (there was no enable feature) also something worth mentioning is that my case feels is fairly cool if that matters at all.

Gosh this is annoying

thanks alot for the reply!

EDIT: i also heard somewhere that i should try to turn my Power setting on to " high performance " should i try that or no?

This is what I see. Is this what you see?
Yes I have refreshed several time. When back to home page of the Forum.

Then what about the cooling hoses going to and from the CPU? If they are both cool and/or even in temperature then I believe you have a failing cooling pump, only able to move just enough coolant to keep the computer from shutting down.

He states in his OP that it is running at 2.1GHz, but that model CPU is rated for 3.2GHz. EDIT: And yes that's what I see, when he started this thread all he had written was Windows 7 64bit.
