Hi guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place. Please let me know where to put it if it is.
I have a cpu overheating issue i believe
I have a Dell Dimension E521
Originally it was
AMD athlon 64
2.4ghz
1gb ram
Rubbish graphics card
Rubbish intergrated sound card
I did some stuff to it and it is now a
AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual
Core processor 6400 +
3.21Ghz
2Gb ram
Nvidia Geforce 7950 GT
Creative SB X-Fi soundcard
My issue is that I wasn't able to install the new Fan/Heatsink that came with the new processor because of the dell motherboards layout. So I had to use the old one which the heatsink is on top but the fan is at the side of it. I made some minor adjustments (After the fan went nuts) and it now runs but it is still overheating. I use Speedfan to check heat.
Idle
GPU 55C
HD0 28C
Core 28C
Core 55C
Ambient 0C
When i play COD5 the GPU goes to about 70C
I do notice jerkyness when it gets that hot.
Is there anything else I can do. I have updated all drivers...
Is there a way of cooling it even more?....somehow
Any input appreciated
