Paulguy's Post configuration Well, I imagine you could bring it up a bit, then.
My computer had similar thermal problems just this past week. I had discovered that my CPU was consistently going over 100C and underclocking under load and would idle around 60C, and I don't really know how long it's been doing that. I was using some Intel stock cooler with uh... Arctic silver? thermal compound stuff. The problem improved when I pressed on the frame of the cooler with my fingers against the CPU, so I figured it just wasn't making good contact. It had lame plastic mounting pins, though, so I figured they were probably worn like some material had scraped away and it wasn't pushing against the CPU well enough, because all 4 pegs had been locked and the cooler was as far down as it would go, so I pretty much couldn't do much with that one, so I replaced it with a cooler master 212 plus. It's this absolutely enormous heat sink with a standard 80mm case fan on the side. I honestly didn't think it would be so big, based on the picture, but when I got it, it was huge. It's pretty effective though, and only $30, so it's ridiculous gamer stuff, but at a reasonable price. Construction seems solid enough, it's basically just a bunch of bits of metal not in any position where it'd really be able to fall apart, so can't do wrong there. CPU now idles at or below 40C and under full load all 4 cores get to only about 60C. I probably have a bit of headroom to overclock, but after probably months of overheating that I hadn't noticed, I think the life of my CPU may already be shortened enough. Buuut I'm going on and on about it and don't really want to make it a review, even though I already have, so I'll leave it at that. Nice to see that your computer isn't in danger of cooking itself anymore. ____________________ |

Paulguy's Post configuration Conroe P4? Don't you mean Prescott? Those are the ones known to cook themselves.
Also, that sucks about the proprietary software fan control. There may have been some program or driver you could load to handle it for you, or at least turn it on, or maybe a BIOS option to switch it to hardware control. ____________________ |

10-29-10 11:37:09 PM Post #3830 Yeah, laptops have been known to be stupid with hardware support. Mine needs a Windows program to disable that damn tap/breathe-to-click, but it only needs to be done once. (It also needs repair I haven't got around to doing...) ____________________ ![[loading witty comment...]](http://twitstamp.com/custom-2013.png "this is about the only use for Twitter") |

Right now, I'd say it's around 80°. Especially considering that well, I am using it a bit. (CD running, driving an 1080p DTV off of HDMI, etc.) I think what I need is a can of air.  ____________________ why not? |
