955 Phenom II temps

Hi guys,

I have a 955 running at stock, never overclocked. We've had a few warm days recently and suddenly my stock CPU fan has become really loud. I checked the temps and each core is at around 62c idle, is this too hot?

Ok I just checked using HWMonitor and TMPIN1 is 57c and was at 63c max value earlier.

I couldn't see CPUTIN from the latest HWmonitor version I downloaded.

Thanks

Mine sits at 43 - 45 at idle. I know this is high but waiting till i can get a better cooloer

Is that TMPIN 1 mate? Also, is it better to have a side case fan blowing air into or away from the heatsink/fan?

Thanks!

Hey guys, I took a screenshot of HWMonitor just now. Do the temps look right?

Ok, so i just went to open up the computer to reseat the heatsink and fan and the fan on the heatsink wasn't moving! It seems to stopping and starting, what the hell could be causing that?

It's working at the moment, but I am just coming on quickly to order a new cpu fan, anyone recommend anything cheapish? I don't OC or anything, just something basic and fairly quiet, thanks!

I'm such an idiot, sorry guys. I figured out what the problem was. My brother was using the computer the other day and it turns out he installed SETI@Home, which had been running in the background 24/7 :mad:

But would that have caused the fan to stop?

Uninstalling the program has certainly sorted out the temps now, it's idling at 35c now.
