WTF is going on guys.

I am getting really abnormaly high temps on my Q6600 (G0 I think)

I checked my (stock) heatsink, and noticed it was not on correctly. It is now.

Then I checked the temps again.
No change.


Look...

coretemps.png


yes this is idle...
 
i have a nvidia coolermaster stacker 830
would that matter?

and yeh the thermal stuff is on the heatsink.



I was playing games and it said the temps were 120! that can't be correct?

I really dont know whats going on.

The heatsink fitted properly before.
It is now.


The fan is running I just had a look.
Also touched the heatsink and it is really cold, considering my average temp is 75 right now...


A bit from my temp log from while playing counter strike source

19:42:35 01/05/08 1600.00 125 98 83 90
19:42:36 01/05/08 1600.00 125 127 84 90
19:42:37 01/05/08 1600.00 125 100 84 91
19:42:38 01/05/08 1600.00 125 127 84 91
 
I tried to shake it before and it shook around. Then I made sure it was on and it "clicked" on all sides. I am pretty confident it is on now.

The fan is spinning.

And my temp logs are like 120C. I thought it shut down at 100?

But I cant run coretemp any more...
something about the driver has failed to load. Heard about this prob on vista but im on WinXP Pro SP2.
 
i looked in BIOs and it was like 79C...
another reading said like 40C but that was "system temp"

Must be broken sensors or something?

Today I played BF2 on full res with all graphics on high.
It was doing all the optimising shaders stuff and then my pc just shut down...
Like "Windows is shutting down"
 
Thanks.
Any fan suggestions?
How do i get the on the mobo? looks like it has none of those screws?


Also I tried holding the heatsink on when booting up.
Temps shown about 60C

:/

Must be something wrong with the sensors?


does it matter what way round the heatsink is on?
