cpu too hot

StrangleHold said:
Thats just really odd for it to get that hot, if the CPU fan is throttling up like it suppost to. Even if you do have bad case air flow. Turn the side fan around and make it a intake. And you do mean 80mm. not 800mm?

All the freezer pro 64 I have used for AMD either pointed toward the front or back with the AMD bracket.

Here is one pointed right. Toward the front.

Dont know man. Never had one for a AMD that mounted in that direction. The ones I had, have the clips mounted through the pipes, that way you can mount it to the front. But you should turn your side fan as a intake and see if it helps any.

This could be the problem. Is the CPU heatsink bracket mounted ass backward like on this board

See on a regular board, it mounted in the other direction.

mounted as second pic brackets on bottom of heatsink clip top and bottom of mount

Probably not. CPUs usually aren't defective. Have you tried unmounting and remounting your heatsink? I don't have experience with AMD clips, but I know that with the Intel pushpins it usually takes me a couple of tries to get it right.

i tried remounting thr heatsink even used a little less paste turned system off at cpu temp of 75 patience running thin lol just cant understand it. sat down this afternoon striped everything away then rebuilt now temp is higher than it was before BIG hammer comes to mind lol.

ok have taken it apart yet again and put it back together not entirely sure its clamped onto the processor as well as i would like . running sytem on bios hardware monitor after 10 mins it has crept up to 57-60 degrees
vcore 1.44
3.3v 3.38
5v 5.85
12v 12.43

cpu fan 2200 rpm
case fan 1300 rpm
m/b temp 40 degrees

installed cpuid hardware monitor if its reliable it reads core 0 53-55
core 1 57-57 if this is any help
 
Pushpins are a b*tch! Then again, so is the AMD mount at times.

Let's start from scratch. How did you clean off the thermal paste? You need to use 99% isopropyl alcohol or arcticlean on both surfaces, the cooler and the CPU. Next you need to apply a small rice grain sized amount of paste onto the CPU, then mount the cooler, making sure not to lift the cooler up once it has touched the paste. Secure the cooler and you're done.

yep spotlessly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol used a grain of rice and temps went too high so applied a grain and a quater and reseated heatsink. got cpu temp down to 60 c.
installed cpuid so i could monitor in windows xp home after 1 hour core 0 reads 57c and core 1 reads 61c. fans all working cooler pro 7 rev 2 fan running at 2200rpm.

just a thought i noticed today when booting up there are vertical broken blue lines on the windows xp screen . could it be my graphics card is going and putting extra work on cpu?

Yeah, vertical lines usually point to a GPU issue IIRC. That wouldn't affect the CPU, though. Try running CoreDamage in Windows and see what your temps get up to:

If your CPU temp quickly gets above 80c, then shut down the program.

It's really quite odd how hot your CPU is. Just an idea: have you tried mounting the heatsink in the opposite direction? It might not be possible, but I know that with socket 462 heatsinks you could mount the heatsink backwards, and due to the shape of the socket it would make very bad contact with the CPU.

ok turned heatsink round comp been on for 15mins sitting on bios which i have been told is putting load on the processor{not sure thats right though)
temps are now m/b 42c cpu 52-55c
i dont know if it means anything but 12v always runs at 12.4v
