After having changed some of the BIOS settings, including turning off the one where the auto throttle up to x18 speed is handled (3.6Ghz), the CPU seems stable again. Somehow the throttling AND Cool & Quiet were the ones causing the heating problem I've experienced. The Cool & Quiet is not...

I know, the 1090T is already ancient when it comes to age on CPUs, but so far it's been running very well in my PC with minimum to no heating. It topped at 65C most of the time when under 75-100% load. It's been only recently that the temperatures have started to increase dramatically and now...

Like OP I'm new to Linux (don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 and looking for alternatives) and I had the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04.2. Even after it updated itself to 14.04.3 it still would not install these 3 libraries :( Good thing I'm using Ubuntu on a test-PC so far and after a fresh...

@fredfinks - Why change to Windows 10 when it's said by MS that they will support with updates it for only 3-5 years tops? After that you need to upgrade to Windows 11 and most likely you won't get a free upgrade then... This while Windows 7 will be supported until 2023 or so and Windows 8.x...

I'm so glad I tried this on my ASUS EEE 'laptop' instead of my main PC... Here's what happened... I finally thought to upgrade Windows 7 (Starter) on that cute ASUS EEE laptop of mine to see how Windows 10 would work and how bad my privacy will be violated. Aside from the privacy violation, I...

Just bought the motherboard and I don't want to spend too much at this moment on hardware because of the crisis and such (dropped 40% in income over the last 5 years...). I bought the Extreme3 as a quick and cheap replacement for the old one that died while keeping my SLI up & running. If I...

Thanks for the quick answer Damric and the comment on the Fisher Price cooler :D Normal load temperatures on the picture in my OP are the one for the active value. I happen to have an extra case fan, and my computer case allows up to 2 fans on the case side lid, and I applied the fan on it just...

I have recently changed motherboard because the old one was dieing. The new one (AsRock 990FX Eextreme3) works fine with my Phenom 1090T, but I'm a bit worried about the temperatures though. From an other thread I learned how to read the values in HWMonitor. I am a bit concerned about the...

I'm having similar temperature indicators as Sedona has for my Asrock 990FX Extreme3 board, but no TMPIN2 which should be NB-CPU for my Phenom 1090T. Can I assume that for my motherboard the TMPIN3 holds the NB temperatures..? [EDIT] Also worth to note that on my system the AUXTIN actually...

I've ran the ASUS GTX660 alone and it worked as it should. No overheating or any weird stuff at all. After that I added the EVGA GTX660 (in the 'slave slot') and again, the ASUS card is working as intended without overheating. I'm really confused now here. I started out with ASUS+EVGA and I had...

I've just bought an ASUS GTX660 Direct CU II to run SLI in my system. I have been running SLI for quite some time now with 2x GTX460 (one EVGA, one ASUS) with full success and no heat issues at all Now I have an EVGA GTX660 (stock settings) and I wanted to add the new ASYS GTX660 to my system...
