temp concerns

KeizzerSoze · 14 Mar 2007 at 19:13

my tempreture at idle is around 46c to 50c. Im using coretemp and its giving me these results when i use my pc probe it goes above the 50 marker. not sure what it could be recently attached the scythe ninja to my AMD fx62 cpu. if anyone could just point me to the right direction i would be greatfull.

Is that at stock CPU speed and voltage? Have you checked HSF is on properly?
Sig -34 idle, 47 load, 17 ambiant.

ive checked the hs more then 4 times havent seen a problem with it.
heres a screengrab of coretemp. this is at idle by the way.

What's the load temps?

i was just rendering some work in 3ds max not even at hi res and my temp was at 59c, 60c

could there be a problem with the cpu chip its self? Ive had this temp problem from the day that i bought it.

Could be a concave IHS

how would i know if its concave? its got scratched on the surface but aint sure about it being bent

Set a credit card on it and see if there's a gap.

Tho I don't know if AMD chips suffer from concave IHS's like Intels do.

ok just tested it with a card and it looked straight. now after putting everything together my temps are 60c+. i think i might have put the hs on wrong or somthing this time round. is there anything else i need to check whilst im down there?

P.s there are some deep scratches on the surface of my cpu could that be causing the high temps?

ok i brought it back down to 46c. but i still think thats high for a fx62 with a scythe ninja. Anything else i could possibly check?
