CPU Temperature 100 celsius!!!???!!

Case for what

Your computer case! Chassis! The box with all your stuff in it!

How about buying new HSF?
"Frio" look sexy

Um it says DIGITAL

I suspect PBCAK here... No offense...

If you are not over clocking (?) what prompted you to look at your CPU temps?

There's only one way to see if this is a real problem. Allow the readings to continue to rise. If the readings are real the temps will hit Tjunction and the CPU will shut down.

Tjct on my Core i7-860 is 99C. Normal idle is 28-35C, max load 80C

As others have said, screenshots would be helpful.

Btw 1800RPM is S L O W I'm surprised you can hear the fan at all at that speed.

The constant alarm and randomly shutting down, what pictures do you need?

Actually I do not know what made it so hot but it seems to stay at 50 now


But how do I make my processor run back what it should be

Living in Australia, what is the ambient temperature of your room. Is it hot or do you have air conditioning?

My suggestion is to take it to a computer shop and have someone experienced take a look at it.

It's pouring rain, summer and we are currently being hit by 2 category 1 cyclones in various places, other than that about 20

Going back to the basics, even with the fan spinning properly, the fins of the heatsink can become clogged with dirt very rapidly, depending on the environment in which it operates. Remove the HS/F and thoroughly clean both the fan and the heatsink, before reinstalling them. If they are both clean to begin with, then you have to determine where the airflow problem is. This can be facilitated by comparing the case temp to the CPU temp. Obviously the CPU temp is normally a few degrees higher than the case temp, but if there is a large difference, the higher the chance that the problem is limited to the CPU cooling itself. If the case temp is also high, then the cooling may be the combined result of both the ambient, case and CPU cooling.
