Exclamation CPU Temp WAY to high.
Hey people, my first post on this forum

I recently built my FIRST pc yesterday. (2gb RAM, 520W PSU, !60gb SATA Harddrive) and I have problems with my CPU overheating. I have managed to get Vista on it and my cpu temperature varies between 41C and 71C! My CPU is an Intel CEL 1.6Ghz Dual Core and before people ask, I have a heatsink and fan and the thermal paste is there. I do not have a case fan yet, only the PSU and CPU fan. Would this cause the problem?

Thanks,

Tj

Put a case fan in what are you waiting for?

I have my suspicion that your heat sink is not mounted right though.

41C is normal. 71C is a bit warm ...

I have ordered 2 of ebuyers Extra Value 92mm Internal Cooling Fan In Black - 4pin Molex Connection and a Extra Value Pst700-it1 Thermal Compound Silver Grease Injection Tube I think this should do it. My CPU at the moment is 55C with the case of and a big 10 inch fan blowing into it.

Did you put too much thermal grease on the CPU? You only want a very very thin layer.

The thermal grease was already on there when I brought it. So blame intel is its thermal grease.

Cool
Pick yourself up some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. It will make a big difference.
