Am i heating up??

Moley RUFC · 02-26-2006, 10:19 PM

P4 3Ghz
120 gb
1024 mb ram
Radeon 800gto agp, 400mhz

My CPU heat is average at 72 degrees
My MB heat is 27 degress.

I have some graphic glitches that happen on most games and windows applications. Would the heat be an issue?

Thanks

degrees celsius or fahrenheit? if celsius then CPU is way overheating.

Your mobo temp is fine. Your CPU is overheating, if its Celsius. Try and get it down to 50C, but i would recommend getting it down to 40. Try and increase air flow in your case by sorting out wires and putting them out of the way. Also add some fans if need be. If your still not getting good temps, get a new Heatsink+fan.

its obviously not fahrenheit, why would his motherboard be below freezing? lol

Moley RUFC · 02-26-2006, 10:29 PM

It is cold in Birmingham but not that cold!!!

Thanks guys, i think its time to invest in a fan. Whats best?? Heatsink fan? any other suggestions??

Would this explain the graphic probs on bf2 and others?

it weould for artifacting, messed up geometry. I would get a new heatsink+fan. Check out newegg if you live in the us, they have good deals.

That is way too hot. I'm assuming you have a Prescott core? If 72 C is idle, what is it under load? Man...

Moley RUFC · 02-26-2006, 11:02 PM

Yes this is at idle. Im going to get a heat sink fan tomorrow. My last card (9800pro) died last week so i guess this was the cause. What sort of heat should i be aiming at? and would this of affected my motherboard and the graphic glitches??

Motoxrdude · 02-26-2006, 11:11 PM

You should aim for 40C idle or less and 50C or under full load. Less is better

If a new heatsink and fan don't do it all, then you'll also perhaps need to consider a more powerful case fan, or ducting outside air directly to the heatsink like I did. It's the only way I could get CPU temps below 40°C under full load.
