Hi i have got my arctic silver 5 today through the post but it has a date on it, the date is a bit mucked up but im sure it says Aug/25/2005.... Is this thermal paste still usable?

What software can i use to get temperatures besides from bios?

What are your temperatures?
 
SpeedFan and Everest aer nice programs, SpeedFan is more practical since you can have it display the CPU, Mobo, or Hard Drive(s) temps in the system tray.

My CPU is ~22C idle, and ~28C Load.
 
Motherboard Monitor is another great program for displaying temps.

As for my temps, Idle ~ 35C, load ~45C, but i'm OC'd
 
i took 20 degrees off my graphics card temperature by taking off the old compound and putting AS5 on there instead, however, i think i may have seated the heatsink better also.
ive only heard good things about AS5. mine doesn't have a date on it so i'm not sure what that date on yours means. it could either be date of manufacture or use by date; in my personal opinion i dont think its a use-by date.
 
Erm this is my system and the temperature displays look kinda worrying to me. This is idle and look at them. Also one with arrow pointing to it, 128 degrees :eek: that seems very hot to me.



EDIT : I also noticed it said 2 of my fans arnt even spinning, this is evenmore worrying :eek: :eek: . Now im seriousely worried, is the programme wrong or do I actualy have a major fault here?

speed fan is known to throw out some stupid readings sometimes. i think speedfan is reading something that isn't a temp sensor. i dont know if you realised but you have one of your readings at -48... so i dont think its that reliable
 
hahaha exactely what I thought. Only one reading is changing aswell and thats the second one down. So I believe that to be only true reading. And well if thats the case its still too hot for idle. And why is my fan working 100% on idle, seems rather odd to me. I heard you talking in anouther thread about weird stuff on a heatsink, is there anyway I could apply that without voiding my warranty?

EDIT: I will also check the confinds of my warrenty and if I can pay for profetionals to do it and stuff so its not voided.

Damn that means I am stuck with this computer for 3 years without customization (maybe) unless I fork out £30 for each job they do in PC world (total rip off) the charged my dad £30 to format his hardrive then reinstall windows, then a further £50 for a new HDD and £30 to install the HDD. I mean all they need to do is plug it in lol.

Nah thats just an integer overflow. Shut the machine down and start it up again. Now if its consistent than thats a different story :)
