Temp Jump Problem Advice

[Jotunkaiser]

Hi, I bought a pre built/overclocked machine about 1.5 years ago now - its a Q6600 / 4gb OCZ / 9800 Gx2 system with an IP35 PRO Mobo, everything was running fine for a while then I started getting random BSOD's etc then it stoped for a while but now its happening again

mostly when it was under stress, which lead me to belive my pre overclocked machine was running to hot well I'm not a pc guru or anything dont pretend to be but I get by - could anyone tell me or give me some advice on my overclock? I bought it for peace of mind you see thinking it would be stable from OcUK ; ;

Basicly my settings are as follows:

356 MHz x9

1.4025v

2.200 v DDR2

1.27v

1.33v

1.12v

1.60v

0

67%

67%

(lol I thought id just post everything just incase ><)

and the memory is:

5

5

5

15

V1.0A

PCIex

My Temps idle are around 45-55 but under load they jump to over 128 then the comp just shuts down.

I use core temp and Real temp to moniter it, because I was told that the bios reading isnt as accurate (the bios reads 83 lol) oh and my OS is Windows 7 64.

I was in the process of orderin the H50 and some more paste but I noticed the shipping is a tenner lol, thought that was abit harsh haha.

For the temp to be that high, its either a dodgy temp sensor, or your fan / heatsink is failing or dodgy. Chec kthe fan is working first! Then check that the heatsink isnt loose (A small amount of twisting movement is normal) it should be flat to the CPU and not able to be easily lifted.

ye it seems fine, Ive looked and the fan is working and the heatsink I had off today to clean it out just to make sure - but tbh it wasnt even dirty no clue but its not very stable I cant even run prime 95 without it shutting off in seconds

Did you happen to clean off the thermal paste on the base? As you should reappply this due to it now being a bad contact.

to tell you the truth the whole reason I was cleaning it was because of the temps, but nope I didnt clean it off - it seems like there is enough on it, but Ive ordred some more for that reason, what you said before about fan - it is spinning, but maybe its not speeding up underload? because to tell you the truth I dont hear it very much but ive opened case and looked at it spinning - on an off chance lol what should the fan speed be under load if u have any idea haha, worth a shot
