about cpu temperature...

[scoopeeedoo]

Hi everyone!

Certainly the question was asked yet, but let me please tell you about my problem :

I had a new mother-board last week. After installing it, and also my CPU (recuperated on my old board), everything runs well but when i use Speedfan there is a "temp3" very high... With my old board, that value was "-129" or "-179°C" so i never worried, but here this is between 70 and 80°C.
So i thought i had put too much thermal paste or maybe crashed my processor and decided to buy a new one (for my pleasure too, of course).
Operation done, i turn on the pc, everything runs well,... and Speedfan : Temp3 72°C!
I tried all logs : HWMonitor, HMonitor, Everest... : idem, pareil, same

Could someone please have a look at those values and tell me if i have to worry or not cause i don't even dare to play a game...

Temperatures in BIOS are : System 44°C, CPU 41°C.

Thanks for reading and, maybe, answering...

What is the temp program you are using ? I would like to try it. Thanks

Which one?
up-left on the screenshot :
HWMonitor (freeware) CPUID
up-right : SpeedFan (freeware) SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
down-left : HMonitor (trial, very limited)
down-right : Everest Ultimate

And you can have gadgets for at least 3 of them...

Doc will get back to you on the question. But regardless of the answer, if you are concerned, a cooling pad would reduce your anxiety and the temp of the puter. Something to think about.

Do you mean a thermal material between CPU and heat sink/fan? Or do you talk of something else...? Because, of course, there was material on the sink/fan...

That choice would be yours. I was just suggesting that there are products out threre to protect your valuable investment. What you actually buy is a personal choice. As far as I am concerned they are all equally valuable.

Sorry but i'm not sure to understand... What could i do more than the original thermal material... I did it last year, exactly the same way, and without any problem... What is the choice that you are talking about...?
Anyway, thanks for your interest!

I have seen, just once actually, a pad that serves as a cushion under the lap top, that is suppose to keep it cool. But the thermal material would be better, now that I am making a choice.

Well, i see what you mean now, but i don't have a laptop, so i couldn't use that kind of pad... But effectively, i read recently something about that on the web.

I no longer need a lappy I have a DELL xps 20 desktop. Great machine.

Hi!

Today i played half an hour "NFS Undercover", the "temp3" rised, nearly immediatly, to 82°C and then stand by...
The PC turns very well, and also the game...

Has anyone an opinion about all this, please ???

Thanks !!!

Temp 3 is reported from a sensor within one of the CPU cores on the die. Most recent Intel CPUs will go to 100c on that sensor before the BIOS invokes thermal overload procedures. Still, the temps you report are higher than desirable and it certainly sounds like the CPU heatsink/fan unit is barely adequate.

Which CPU do you have, and are you using the heatsink/fan unit that came with the CPU? What does SpeedFan report for the RPM of the CPU fan?

 

[seekermeister]

I don't know what temp 3 is, because like your's was, the reading is very high, but not operative, so I keep it hidden, which is quite common. Since you have a new motherboard, that temp may be now active, but if it is, it should vary some over time. If not, I would disregard/hide it. As for your CPU temp, it is not that high, considering the system temp that you are operating at. Depending on your circumstances, it could be cooled by lowering the room temperature where it stays, or improving the case temperature by adding fans, cleaning up the routing of cables, adding water cooling, or as I did, change the case itself. The case that I now have for my primary rig only has 3 fans, but they are 200mm, where as the old case, which I use for my secondary rig has 5 fans, but are only 80mm. The new case runs at least 7-8 degrees cooler than the old rig. Yet, the temp that your CPU is running is not all that hot, unless it spikes too much under a load.

 

[Frostmourne]

HWInfo32 reports my CPU at around 51 degrees Celsius, motherboard at around 44 degrees celsius and GPU no more than around 65-70 degrees celsius after 4 or 5 hours after playing games with a couple of breaks. Standard Antec Two Hundred case - going to buy a fan for the side.

 

[scoopeeedoo]

First of all, many thanks to each interest about my question! Thank you, Guys!

@rbmorse :
My CPU is an AMD Athlon II 4x 620 (2,6GHz) and i use the heat sink/fan provided, with original thermal material. I have "Spire" thermal paste here, would you advise me to change?
Fan speed is +/- 1850RPM for now and rised to 2600RPM when i played half an hour "NFS"...
Nothing anormal, according to me...

@seekermeister :
My case is equipped with two fans yet, 90mm front for air in, 80 back for air out...
This case + PSU + CPU + M-B are all brand new >>> no dust...

@Frostmourne :
Thanks for this unknown (and very complete) log, i ran it and the values are the same than the others...
Nothing alarming but this "temp3"... I hope for an absurd value!

 

[scoopeeedoo]

Hi again!

I just did a new test with NFS Undercover :

"temp3" before playing : 71°C,
after 7 and 15 minutes : 84°C
after 35 minutes : 85°C (other values are : GPU = 64°C, M-B = 46°C,
CPU fan = 2500RPM...):huh:

I'm almost sure that it won't change anything but i'm tempted to change the paste, for the sake of my conscience...

EDIT : when i put my hand near elements, nothing seems so hot, and the heat sink is definitely "touchable"...

RE-EDIT : After 35 minutes non-stop playing, temperatures in BIOS are :
system = 48°C, CPU = 48°C.

 

[scoopeeedoo]

I disabled "smart fan" in BIOS, so CPU fan runs at its maximum speed : 2900RPM, case fans = 1925RPM.
I won 5°C on temp3... but it's not a solution because of the noise...

Sensors

I would not worry to much about that temp motherboard temp sensors are known to be incorrect a lot of time and it seems like the rest of your temps are not to bad and you say the machines is working nice so I would just try to improve air flow in your case.

Thanks for your opinion, maybe i'm too parano ... I keep an eye on it, for now, and i cool my mind...

I think you are confused between celsius and fahrenheit!
If you are running 82 c you have cooked and destroyed your processor and mobo.
Your MOBO should run between 39-42c or 102 deg F and your processor should run from 37-42 c or 100-108 deg f anything higher than that is dangerous and the bios will shut down to protect the system.
