If this speed fan program is any good, than it looks like it is running 58c idle. Do you guys think thats alittle much?

 

[Corbin]

yeah mine is a 3500 and it is running at 37c idleing

 

[TheChef]

What HSF do you have? Stock?

Oh never mind i messed up. I think my chipsets overheating, its whats running 57c idle. Does that sound hot for a chipset?

yes

Im not sure why its overheating. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

[TheChef]

Is there a HSF on it? What motherboard do you have? The newer chipsets can get pretty hot without some cooling.

Im not sure why its overheating. Does anyone have any ideas?

1. What core are you running?
2. Not enough thermal paste
3. Too much thermal paste
4. Multiple types of thermal paste being applied

If it has a Heat Sink it is very small. It does have a fan. Look at my sig for mobo.

 

[Cromewell]

If it is the chipset that you are looking at, NF4s do get hot during operation even with heatsinks

well...sometimes those programs are wrong, double check with other programs or bios (the most accurate).

 

[super_xero]

yep

 

[Fuzz]

I did its very accurate.
