Hello,
First off: Sys specs
Gigabyte K8N mobo - Nforce4 chipset
Amd Athlon 64 fx-55
1 gig ram
Gforce 7600 gt vid card
WD 300 gig hdd
500 watt psu
Not overclocked
Current mbm5 report: at idle in celsius
Sensor 1: 25C
Sensor 2: 36C
Sensor 3: 71C
Bios also confirms this cpu temp...
I can't get the voltage meter to work...
Ok so I seem to have had an overheating problem since i built this pc.
First year wasn't too bad but then it started to overheat under load via gaming. It overheats and shutsdown or freezes pc. I have good reason to suspect cpu heat because one time it shut down during game and upon reboot i checked the bios cpu temp to see it dropping back down from really high temp due to the gaming load.
So about 6 months ago i took it apart cleaned everything with alcohol, got a better heatsink and reapplied silver compound and put it all back together. Temp was still the same (hot). Side of case is off and plenty of fan action and room temp isn't hot. The second i turn on any game the cpu temp shoots up like a rocket. Any ideas what going on here? I'm stumped.
Thank you......
Not overclocked either btw.
