CPU Temp?

uum the throttle graph is doing nothing. i remmeber where it says TM1 that it used to go up and down but now nothing. the only graph that is moving is the cpu load graph which goes from 52%-56%. so what do you think is the problem.
 
ah by the way the program that i am using to watch the temperatures and fan speeds is called PC Prob II which came with my ASUS P5LD2 DELUXE.
 
Well, I don't have an Intel CPU, and I don't know about trottlewatch apart for its use, but if there is no throttling, then I guess that it is fine.

exactly, It reduce it speed so it dont overheat.

so i guess it is alright, because before i took out the hsf and putted the gel it used to go crazy the throttle graph. i believe it was around 30% or something like that. so i guess since now there is no throttle that means it's within it's thermal spec. right?
 
It's still a little warm, though much better. Now it's time to do the second part of what I said. Try running with different case fans shut off. Start with the side fan. If turning off any of them makes your temps go down, reverse that fan.
 
Still to hot. The thermal paste should cover the entire raised part of the CPU. The part that contacts the heatsink. Most of the time the heatsink will spread it out when you clamp it down. You had some improvement but still not enough. Tell us about your case and fan setup. Have you got alot of dust buildup on the heatsink and fan? What MOBO do you have?

Yes, the software that comes with the ASUS boards is very accurate.

well the case has three fans, two are 120mm and one is like 80mm which is on the side and its bringing in air. one of the 120mm is on the back which is bring out air. the 120 on the front is bringing in air to the case. this computer was only build like 5 days ago or so, so there is no dust or any of that.
 
u know what the exact model of my case is: Thermaltake SOPRANO VB1000BWS Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window. i bought this from newegg.com, so if you go there and search for this model you would see how the case itself looks like.
 
i disabled both the back fan and the side fan, on man, the cpu really went up to 70C pretty quick, and the cpu fan started working like crazy this time it was hitting 3500 rpm, so i stopped the test and the temp went down. i did though try just turning off the back fan, it wasn't crazy as this, it was like the usual. but once i turned off the side fan i think thats when things started boiling up.
 
as i said in the post before this, when i did disable those two fans, the throttling in throtle watch started to have a precentage, so it looks like before it was working fine, but i still don't like the temp speed. especailly since i play games and it most definatly reaches 64C-69C.
 
something interesting happened when i was playing around with the fans. the side fan has a filteration metal infont of it, meaning the air from that fan was weak, so i took it off, and guess what, my idle temp of the cpu decreased to 45C and on prime95 test it only went up to maxium of 62C-63C so there is a decrease from previous test of 70 and up. i'm thinking of just buying something that is like a pipe, a flexable one and use that pipe to let it only play air only on the cpu. i think this should decrease the temp much as well.
 
is there a way to increase the speed of the cpu fan, because i did notice when i disable the back panel fan that the cpu fan went up above 3000 rpm, and now since have the side fan and the back panel fan working, even under heavy load from prime95 it only goes to 2300 rpm.
 
Im just now catching on to the fact that your board is the SLI version of my board. The bad news is that ASUS has had mega problems with this board. The good news is that I have a BIOS that should help fix this. PM me your e-mail addy. Do you know how to flash the BIOS? Before I send this to you im going to e-mail someone just to make sure that it will work with your board.

well my board does not include SLI. the extra slot only can go up to 4x, it just there for people who want to have two monitors or something like that. so basically the only power slot is the PCI-E itself.

About the Bios, i think i know how to do it, i'll just have to read the manual, it shouldn't be any of a big of a deal. do you know the bios version, maybe i can just download it from asus.com.
 
it sounds like your reading your temps in your bios. try getting a program like speedfan so you can see it in windows.

Ok..listen.. now that it is stable, and not throttling anymore, close the case ans stop worrying.. Both you CPU and motherboard have a 3 years warranty, so just use them ..

What is the exact model number of your board? Is it P5WD2 I may have the letters out of place but that close.

You cant download this BIOS because its not available to the public.

my board is the p5ld2 deluxe, i don't know if thats going to work. the p5wd2 is i think the better motherboard, which is the 955x chipset mines is the 945P chipset.
 
Ahhhh, I remember you... You were the one who asked so many question about RAID and I just told you to get some HDD and try it.

Then here I go again... Just put an air duct and see if it helps by yourself and stop asking question...JUST TRY!
