Hi,I took the heatsink of the CPU and this is what it looks like. Seems like most of the Paste has evaporated. What should I do now? Just clean it? Do I need to wait until I get my hands on some Paste on Monday or is there anything i can do before that?
Processor(s): 1 Processor(s) Installed.WHAT PC CPU YOU HAVE I3 OR I5 OR I7
I'm sorry but that is so funnyWHAT PC CPU YOU HAVE I3 OR I5 OR I7
or amd sorry for the caps
Hi,while my core temp is about 66°C. Could that be the problem?
I assume the values are wrong. i just realized i only have a few short spikes at 150°C and then CPUTIN settles at 70°. Also why would the values be so far apart? CPUTIN is from the motherboard and Core is from the CPU itself, but they still measure the same thing?160c is the highest I've ever heard
your cores temperature 66c it's average temperature your CPU should be at the same range, maximum while you're playing a game 85c that's normal
Hi,
anything over 65c is usually too hot for AMD chips and the blue screen bugcheck 124 is usually caused by overheating.
Have you cleaned the pc recently? Dust can make your temps go up. as can a failing fan on the heatsink.
I'll debug your dump files just in case they reveal something else and post back shortly.
In the meantime can you do a quick stress test using Prime95. If the cpu is going to go over 65c then stop the test.
Just see how quickly it starts to heat up.
Which heatsink and fan are you using? Stock or third party?
yeah, the problem is i cant really say if it was just a spike or not, because the pc crashed. I have the maximum temperature and it was 160°.ok this what you sayd Edit:I just stresstested my PC and it crashed without using SC2. My CPUTIN temperature was at about 160°C, while my core temp is about 66°C. Could that be the problem?
thats not a spike to me if you crashed its not a spike lets be onest here we are trying to help
Can you post the make and model of your PSU as well as age please.As my Graphics card died a few weeks ago, i am using the chipset.
I cant remember what cpu fan i am using, but i can look that in a few minutes.
I get quite similar values for this. I stopped as the cpu sensor hit 65. the motherboard sensor hit 70°.Try using this app:
HWiNFO64
It's a lot more accurate for collect data on temps as well as voltages.
CPUTIN relates to the motherboard heat sensor. I doubt very much your CPU is running anywhere near this otherwise it would have shutdown a while ago.
Unfortunately this does not support the amd HD 4290 chipset. with my old gtx570 it says 528 recommendedBefore I go I will give you guys a power supply calculator link
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
At least that's better than 160c..I get quite similar values for this. I stopped as the cpu sensor hit 65. the motherboard sensor hit 70°.
