Temp Problem

chrismelling · 28 Jun 2009 at 13:02

I have been having some problems with fps issues ingame and this morning i installed some temp monitoring software and ran garrysmod and got some very interesting results. I am guessing i shouldn't be at 99oc+ on each core?

I know this is very very bad but do you think any damage will have been done to the cpu itself?

I have added some new fans to the case and lowered the temps to around 68 idle and 80 playing garrysmod but these still seem really high! What else could be causing this?

The one that came with it.

Just been and bought some new thermal paste and cpu fan to replace the stock one. Its brought the temps down but not by a huge amount the temps are still not low.

These temps were on idle

Also, On this the screenshot above Under temperatures it says my cpu is at 48oc yet below its saying there all 60+.

Yea thats how much i put on, I kinda slipped up aswell. I took the cpu fan off to check it was seated correctly and realised i had not taken the plastic off the bottom to protect it! lol Temps at back down at 31oc.

Thanks the help everyone!
