My Q6600

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.
 
5c below Tjunction Max Throttling is activated. If Tjunction Max is reached, Shutdown occurs, which is either 85c or 100c, and is determined by Stepping, as your Tj Max is 100c we can tell its a G0 stepping quad.

As everyone keeps saying, check your bios to see what it reads the temps as.

Stop using coretemps reading as gospel! its more than likely wrong.
 
Those temps cant be right, if they were your PC should have shut down whilst playing CSS unless you have this disabled in the bios? Check the bios temp reading and post back.
 
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"
 
Ok then if temps really are that excessive you need to properly check out your cooler once and for all. If your 100% sure that’s fine your cpu's ihs is not making contact with the core correctly, which there’s very little you can do about unfortunately.

Maybe he could RMA it, as that must come under the term faulty?
 
Lay the case on its side, place the cooler on top of the CPU and press it down firmly (don't clip it in).

Fire up the PC (while still holding the cooler on and pressing firmly).

Check temps in windows.

If temps are still high then something is blatantly wrong.

If temps are fine, then the cooler isn't mounting propperly when you clip it on (i've had this happen with a stock cooler and a scythe, both worked fine when just held on, but wouldn't sit propperly when clipped on).
 
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?
