I've been having my Shuttle reboot on me if I play WoW for more than 10 minutes. Anyway this has lead me to check my temps, according to Core Temp mine are as follows:

Case: 59
CPU: 63

This is just right now, browsing internet in windows.

Nothing feels really hot to touch, but it must be rebooting for some reason :confused:

Thanks for any help.
 
How old is your shuttle ??...Have you cleaned all the heatsinks in it....This alone can drop the temps big time if there clogged up with dusk...

Very important to keep the heatsinks dusk free in a shuttle case as they run very hot even when they are clean...
 
Which model shuttle do you have and how hot does it get when running, say, SuperPi?

I can never get monitoring apps to agree on my 3200's CPU temperature but I'm more inclined to trust the AMD Dashboard since the air coming out the back (scientific, I know :rolleyes: ) measures 36C in the example below.

My temps according to various sources:
desktop, browsing web etc- Core temp: 43C - AMD Dashboard: 42C - Air out the back: 32C
100% load- Core temp: 60/61C - AMD Dashboard: ~44C - Air out the back: ~36C

if the heatsink on the cpu is concave (i think thats the one lol) then you get a small heat pocket in the middle of the cpu, which could be why the PC is restarting, as that would be much hotter than say the air being pushed out hte back or the ICE heatsink itself.

if i were you id clean out the ICE heatsink, clean off the thermal paste, and reapply a thin layer, making sure to put the ICE down on the cpu as flat as possible, then check temps

my 3400+ clawhammer never gets above 45degrees wtih the fan on low, and i've got 3 hdd's and a 9800XT in my case lol
 
It's a shuttle ST20G5 btw.

I hoovered it all out a couple of months ago but it didn't help, I reseated everything but I didn't have any new thermal paste at that time.

I've ordered some arctic silver so when it arrives I'll reseat everything again and put some new thermal paste on it see if that helps anything.

:)

EDIT: Oh and I checked the temps straight after a crash in games and it was reporting 100 oC :eek:
 
All i can say, as others have, i'd take it apart and try again, make sure your applying thermal paste right, AS5 is good, but i don't bother using is and my temps are fine. Granted i'm using a reserator, but thats connected to my northbridge and overclocked x1800 (not know for being the coolest creatures). Obviously i don't use the ICE anymore but even when i did with the same CPU i could run it on "ultra quiet" and achieve decent temps ie: around 50ish under load in the 30's when idle.

For reference I've got a 3700 and the x1800.

Screenie too :) I'm proud now its cold, need to get round to overclocking the althlon though!
