You can buy as5 on newegg.com but the stuff at bestbuy is probably better then the stock. Have you checked you airflow in your case, are you getting enough air moving over your heatsink to cool it down?

i went back to frys and exchanged the not usable heat sink for a usable one. so basically i told all the employees to get outta my way and picked it out myself and hey it fit. it dropped my temps to 36-37 idle which is a little cooler but maybe I am just destined to have a slightly warm cpu. ill see what the load temp is with the new one though sometimes new sinks dont help idle much but really lower load temp.

Thats a much better temp though, did you use AS5 cause you will get a few degree drop if you properly installed it after it kicks in. Still not that bad of a temp though.

my temps dropped to about 40 idle whn i took the right side off

bebopin64 · 08-02-2006, 11:59 PM

i used as5. now under full bf2 cpu load with a .2 GHz overclock I max at 57C and average 56C. That is safe for a max load eh?

bebopin64 · 08-03-2006, 12:10 AM

well these are my new gay temps. after running bf2 my temps didnt go back to where they were before they went down to here.

My HDD is really hot now and my cpu idle temps are a bit up. I'm about to give up unless anybody has anymore suggestions.

Thats ridiculous, my cpu is at 100% all the time and is at 45 almost 100% of the time. There has got to be a reason for this, whether your cpu is just hot or what.

BTW did you ever try shutting off the 80mm fan on your side panel. If not try that and then on the hole that is was in take some like cardboard and make a duct to your cpu, see if that helps.

Like this one on this case.

i thought that my amd 64 cool n quite would be... well, cool.

Decadence · 08-03-2006, 12:24 AM

hahaha, i feel the same way

wwell actually after downloading everest I have found out that temp 1 is not my CPU temp it is actually my motherboard temp. I am confused though because everest says that my cpu temp is 25C but it never changes. is that a good mobo temp under load and why doesnt my cpu temp change on everest?
