CPU temperature problem

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ CPU


Ive had an interesting problem with this CPU for a long time now, its never been overclocked since new.

It should handle about 70 degrees but for some reason when it gets to exactly 51 degrees the game etc will stutter badly for about 5 seconds, the fan during this time spins slightly faster but not much at all, and whatever I do it refuses to go over 51 degrees.

I have tried to run a program that stresses the CPU and it reached 52 degrees and the computer started stuttering again for 5 seconds, i use a large room fan and it keeps it at 50 degrees, but its not reliable and a bit of a drastic solution.


Id appreciate any help thanks.

tried cleaning the heatsink and maybe replacing the thermal compound? it probably shouldnt be getting that hot regardless of being overclocked...
 
It does get that hot on the stock cooler. My 5000+ gets 39 idle and 54-56 load, I re-applied the thermal paste and getting 51-52c now...
 
Ive cleaned and applied new paste many times in the few years ive had this problem, it does seem like the cpu is damaged is some way even though it performs perfectly under 52 degrees, people who have this cpu are complaining about the high temps but they are getting into the 70's, they dont realise how lucky they are, all they need is a bigger fan but my cpu is clearly shot from new in its box, unless someone knows i need to change a jumper on the mobo or something like that.
 
You could maybe test my bench in this section. Beta testing thread --> v4.2
Close every program, also in background.
It should get your cpu to his tops, I'll test my 5000+ in some days to see or yours is performing bad at load or not. (6000 has to score a bit better then the 5000)
 
Even when my processor is O/C'ed to the max it still never goes past 31 degrees, perhaps your case doesn't provide nearly enough cooling.

Even when I run it without the case its still too hot, i think the stock fans that come with it are not good enough, or maybe the cpu itself is defective.
 
I had a similar problem { not exactly } with a pentium d that too easily overheated from new. What I did was a diy burn in. I used occt to load the cpu and simply stopped the program every time it hit 65c. I did this for 6 hours straight until on one of the attempts the cpu ran stable at 58c. Apparently during manufacture , a little bit of plastic can sometimes block a connection inside the cpu , resulting in overheating as it tries to force the current thru. Your cpu has similar temp range 55c -63c max and perhaps it might need to be pushed a few times to the upper range? I know I can now encode video for hours or play games or anything on my pentium d with stock cooling and it stays at 57c-59c with 100% cpu usage. Just struck me that perhaps it might be the same problem as I read your post. Also I did this almost a year after I got the pentium d as I pondered why it kept getting hotter { limiting what i could do } There's my 2 cents worth.
