Hi,

I'm a bit worried about my computer's temperature.

Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance

WAY WAY to hot for an FX chip , shouldn't be pushed past 62 degrees c.

Make sure your thermal paste and heatsink were applied and installed correctly.

Your vcore is way high and is causing your high temps. If you are overclocked, ramp it down to 1.25 and check again. Also, your +12v is low as is the +5v. What psu are you using?

Edit: Also, what gpu?

More edit: CPU cooler?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

You need to tone this down or risk damage to your build.

Adding to what Blackbird and markwp said, seems to me that the air flow inside your case isn't really good (from the temps your motherboard and north bridge are reporting), no matter how good your cpu cooler is, if there's hot air in the case the cpu cooler will use that hot air which obviously is not useful at all.

Check the condition of your front, back, sided and any other fans you have, clean all the dust inside the case and try to make a better cable management if possible

Looks like a bad overclock with the vcore so high , with inadequate cooling also.

 

[ang234]

CPU - Thermaltake TR2 700W
GPU - SAPPHIRE HD 6950 2GB GDDR5
Case - Gigabyte ATX GZ-G2

I just restarted the computer, cleaned the dust a bit and left it open, now the temperature varies between 38-47 degrees.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Much better , were you overclocking?

 

[ang234]

No, I wasn't.

And it shouldn't be a lack of fans, there are almost too many of them. I'll clean them thoroughly and I'll move the computer, it was kind of in a corner and it's very warm here.

If you think there's anything else I can do, please let me know.
And thank you so much for your help!

 

[ang234]

Oh, and you mentioned the vcore was too high.
If the difference between those numbers and these new ones means anything, is there anything I can do to fix it?

New Values (at 40°C):

Voltage Values
CPU Core 0.900 V
+3.3 V 3.245 V
+5 V 4.110 V
+12 V 11.880 V
DIMM 1.464 V
GPU Core 1.020 V

Power Values
CPU Package 30.22 W

Old values (at 87°C):

Voltage Values

Those values are much better, but I'm still concerned with the 12v and 5v figures. [strike]What make and model psu and gpu are you using?[/strike] Edit: disregard.

 

[markwp]

Your psu is pretty suspect in my opinion. The TR2 series are very low quality and IMO you are running a pretty substantial risk. You said earlier you have "too many" fans. Make sure you have more fans working as intake than exhaust - you want the case to have positive pressure. How many and what size fans do you have and where are they located (front, side, rear, bottom, top)?

 

[badboyrog]

your pc case ventilation is horrible and psu voltages are no good
do some act now before it will to late.......
add fan and replace the psu
