E8400 acting weird

[Ichi]

Hey,

Today I went and cleaned out my pc, got all the dust out and closed it up again, I was happy to see that my GPU temps dropped quite a lot, but the temps of my E8400 aren't correct anymore. They both say 99 degrees now non-stop, is there any way to fix this or are my sensors broken? Sucks pretty bad since I don't know if it's still hot (it was before cleaning it out) now

I tryed using Coretemp, Realtemp and checked the temperature in my BIOS, but they all say 99 degrees..

Its a shame that had to happen always nice to keep track of temps but from what i know theres no way of fixing it unless your sensors decide they want to work again.

That's to bad... Well I'm gonna get a new cooler soon so the temps should be fine without being need to check but I just noticed that the multiplier is stuck at 6.0 now :S It's at 2000 mhz atm, instead of 3000 mhz. How can I fix this?

Intel speedstep will rise when stressed.

My Thread below might help.

Yeah if you get a good CPU cooler then your temps should be fine along wiith good airflow etc....The above post is the answer to your Mulitplie problem.

Reading Temperature problems are pretty common on this model (I read 66C at idle on mine in Windows at idle) yet the Bios reads under 30C.

Check the clips on the cpu hsf, just incase you accidentally knocked it while cleaning.
