speedfan noticed that temps 2 and 3 were abnormally hot. they are both 52C. what are those temperatures?

EDIT i am now seeing them both jump to 60C (i am also playing a game though, age of empires III online.)

But In my experience speedfan can't always be trusted with it’s warnings. :)
 
yes, it was very hot. i have an amd 4800 heatsink modded to fit my socket 754 board, and i didnt use any thermal paste when i did it, because i was told to just leave it with the bare thermal pad
 
useless? i thought that with the heatsink being so good, it would work well?

EDIT: ok now i can say for sure that my temps are ok when idle, (just wmp and firefox open) but under loads i see temps over 60-65C

Almost all stock thermal pads are bad compared to AS5 and Zalman's new thermal compound. Just because it is a good heatsink doesn't mean that the thermal paste/pad is good.
 
the rest of all my temps are in the low 30's so they are very low, while i play a game (morrowind) my core and board temps go to the 60's.

wow it just got really cold lol temp 1 hit 20C (just a side note)

Your thermal pad is just probably not transfering heat as well anymore. Just get some Arctic Silver 5 and replace your thermal compound.
 
there is no thermal compund. lol... i scraped the old junk off and used the thermal pad alone (the little sticker-like-thing that it came with)
 
so is that the only thing i can do? even idle, my fans are running @3000rpm constant, and my idle temps still reach into the 50's
 
ok well, my problem seems to be getting worse, but i wont shut off my computer till i see 65C, thats my deadline. i will try to get some arctic silver, where is the best place? newegg? (also, the newegg factory is only a days drive from my house in america, so i always get my shipments in around 2 days.)

Those aren't always true..it's different for every computer. My temp1 is the board/case temp, temp2 is cpu, and temp 3 is my northbridge temp.
