Hey guy I just put together my new computer and I'm just wondering why on Nvidia Monitor, the Temp on my CPU is registering so high. its around 58 C atm with a few programs open. I installed EVEREST to double check but I dont know where to find out the Temperatures, another other programs I can use?
 
hmm on nvidia it has a CPU temp AND GPU temp so i dont know. ANd on everest I dont see a CPU temp, only GPU Temp which says 45 C. And howcome its not detecting my Motherboard name on Everest? Also is there a way to know if All my components are running correctly?
 
To find out your CPU temp go into your BIOS when you startup your comp it should be under pc health monitor or something or power settings.

It might not recognise your mobo because its brand new and everest free edition if that is what your using isnt supported anymore.

and you can perform diagnostic tests to make sure your important parts are running.

(graphics test) 3dmark 06:

(RAM test) memtest:
once this is installed you need to run it from the command prompt put the folder in the c: drive and when in the command prompt type:
c: press enter
cd AleGrmemtest press enter
memtest /time 420 press enter (this runs memtest for 7 hours)

(CPU test) prime95:
to run this go to options at the top then choose torture test and pick small FFTs (run this for 3-8 hours)

so would a 63ish temp for load be ok?

well, your CPU will be ok, but that's right on the border. You should reseat your heatsink and clean all of the thermal paste off, then re-apply some new thermal paste, you only need about the size of a grain of rice. If you're positive that you've installed the heatsink correctly with the proper amount of thermal paste, you might just have a bad CPU.
 
well the Heatsink was probably the part we spent the most time on. We pushed it in so hard it felt as if the part was going to snap in half lol =(.

what was your temp in the BIOS? and yeah those Intel heat sinks are scary my mobo was creaking and bending.
