CPU Overheating Problem

scubasteve2091 · 06-15-2008, 10:51 PM

Hey I am having a problem with my cpu overheating and I need some help. I use speed fan to measure my temperatures and my system idles at 50 C.

I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800. It is not over clocked. I have a Zalmann 9500 92mm CPU cooler. My case is an NZXT Apollo. I have the fan in the front pulling air in as well as the fan on the side. The fan in the back of the case is an exhaust fan. I also have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo, EVGA GeForce 8600Gt Video Card, OCZ GameStream 600 Watt PSU, and Corsair XMS 2X1GB SDRAM DDR 400 RAM. I use Arctic Silver 5 Thermal compound as well.

I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks

Double check the temp. with another program. Plus check it in the bios.

Check the temp in the BIOS. Your CPU temp should be quite a bit lower with that heatsink.
