My e6300 i idle at 45-46C, goes up to 55+ with some load... when it hits 60c, the choppyness and jerkyness appears in my games. This is with dust-free, good airflow and artic cooler pro. With my stock heatsink, i used to get 50-55 idle and rocketed up to 65 while gaming lightly... Ive tried the basic checks like remounting my hsf, dusting, spyware, etc... everythings fine.. seems to be a hardware problem.
Anyways, what are some ways to pinpoint what exactly is causing the overheat? Someone told me to watch for my voltages with speedfan but i was a bit confused on what exactly to look for.
Is it my cpu? my mobo? PSU?
Windows xp sp2
E6300 Duo core - non-overclocked
GA-945P-S3 F6 (latest bios)
1gb corsair ram
7600gs PCI-e 512mb
Artic cooler pro HSF
ax400-PN fotron PSU
