[pinoybear]

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english, im worried about my cpu temp. during bootup i check the cpu temp in bios and it was 39 - 45. i tried using other cpu temp monitor like amd over drive and CPUID hardware monitor. the two temp monitor give me the almost the same reading, about 35-39 on idle. and when checking the temp in ET6 (gigabyte) its a lilbit lower than the bios. i dont really have so much knowledge about computers. pls help me. thanks! ^^

Is your heat sync on your cpu cooler filled with dust? That could be a problem. Makeing sure that you have enough air flow inside your computer.

If you've overclocked your CPU in the past it'll run hotter.
Hope this is usefull.

i cleaned my heatsink before installing it and my cpu is never been overclocked. this cpu temp change stated when i change my mobo. i used to have a asrock n68 vs3 fx mobo. the cpu temp is good but now its too bad and maybe its getting worst. any other solution to try? thanks noascorp>>>
