ok so i have a 1.73 ghz cpu and when i was ripping a dvd (i took 1 hour)5 min before it was done i checked my temps and my cpu was 76C i couldn't believe it and also when its under load its about 57C.

i use a aluminum heatsink and there is a fan attached to it Should i go for the copper?

What type of processor is it?

 

[computermaineack]

What is the temp of the room it is in? What thermal paste/pad/grease did you use? Did you double check the temps in BIOS or another program?

 

[compaqman]

it is a celeron cpu and the room temp was 69F/71F and the program i used was everest home edition

What do you mean its only under 57C load, if it got up to 76C?

Our family PC has a Celeron D 2.4 and it idles around 55C, and load is around 70-75C.

what i mean when it is under load is for about 5 min
That took 1 hour and 27 mins

I've heard of people, including myself, having Everest misread temps. Download speedfan and see if it gives the same temps.

i do use speed fan but it tells me so many temps and on temp 3 i think? (im at school) it always says 127C? whats up with that?

 

[computermaineack]

Go into BIOS and see what it says...that will be your most reliable reading.

until it starts freezing, dont worry about it. they are safe operating temperatures
