[SOLVED] High CPU temps and fan PWM at 0.

[jasonrbn1330]

Hi everyone.

I'm having some issues with high CPU temps staying at 85-100 degrees when I have the maximum power state to 100%. It seems to throttle from 4.30 to 4.00 or lower when temps are at 100 degrees too.

I was just wondering, is this more likely to be something that requires new thermal pasting or adding fans? Or does this have to do with the fan PWM at 0? Is something faulty?

When I set the processor to 99% it stays at 70-80 degrees which I think is still really high but the performance drops to 3.00HZ and is noticeably slower.

My GPU temps are fine and hover around 50 degrees to 75 when gaming.

I've had the PC for about 2 years or less I've never added any fans or thermal pasting before, only added 8GB of ram to make it 16gb but the problem was there prior to this.

Is it normal to have the three fan PWMS at 0 constantly? Is that something I need to fix using BIOS settings (I haven't updated my BIOS since purchasing 2 years ago) and would it be possibly causing the issue?

Thanks for your time!

PWM at 0% is a red herring if your fans have 3-pin connectors - hence no PWM (they're DC controlled)
the fact they run below 100'C normally seems to indicate they're working and two of them should be case fans anyway

you probably need a better CPU cooler, but you could try reapplying thermal paste first.
