What are you're Cpu and System Temps ?

Ceramique is a great one, as is arctic silver. Thin, even layers are the ticket. BIOS agrees with HWmonitor and SpeedFan about CPU temps. I'll hit it with my IR thermometer later when I have the gumption to dig it out of my tool kit.

I used a very thin layer spread over the whole CPU when I first put my PC together. Today, I replaced the compound and just put a pea sized dot in the middle and let the heatsink spread it when I re-installed it. Temps went down nearly 15c! The reason was probably too much compound and/or when you spread the compound out and install the heatsink, tiny air bubbles accumulate and this will give increased temperatures.

Yeah definitely something isn't right. I'd replace the compound as well.

Yeah, I have some Arctic Silver lying around somewhere. I'll definitely change out the compound as well.

i took a full screen shot with a few windows open and some apps running such as a movie and full virus scan and a couple browsers does this justify my temps

Mine look a little high to me

I have the same processor clocked at 3.17 and it runs what your running under load :S

TMPIN0 is supposedly my CPU's temperature (AMD Athlon II x2 240 Regor 2.8 GHz) When I was rendering a 1080p video file, the load temperature peaked at 48'C. Didn't get any higher than that. This is on a stock heatsink, fan, and thermal paste.

TMPIN1 is the northbridge. It never exceeds 42'C, but back when I used the integrated video, it did.

I'm not sure what TMPIN2 is.. if I had to guess, I'd say it's the thermal readings?

Anything under ACPI and "AMD Athlon II x2 240" seems to be screwed up.

My GPU core heats up to as high as 70'C during a heavy game, but it's fanless too.

your gpu is fanless and gets up to 70C thats not bad 4670 ? you sure it didnt come with any fan ?

My fathers is a 4670 and has a VERY VERY small fan. Im sure if you put big enough Heatsink on there it could be fan less.

Oh i got you now like a big copper heatsink with atleast 4 pipes

not even that the 4670 is a very low end video card... very light weight even under load.

Fanless

well youshowed me huh lol i never knew they had that style for the 4670 i know it is low end but still faster then a 3560
