|
 |
Hey Guys!
I have just bought an AMD 64 - 3400+ with a Zalman 7700-CU 120mm fan, but the temp. is still about 60 degrees celcius, and sometimes my computer shuts down. I tried to change the case-fans to get a better flow, but that didn't change anything. Then I checked the paste, it was still a fine thin layer. So if anyone know what's wrong, please help!!!
Greetings Jonazei

no idea, i have upgraded my cooling system to a huge copper triple-piped (whatever its called, the thing thats between the cpu core and the fan), and still had 0 difference from the normal standard p4 fan and aluminum shit..
Prolly my incredinbly sucky motherboard that just gives the wrong temp reading tough, but i dunno.. You'r not alone..
My tip would be to try and open the case and see if it makes a difference, if; mount a case-fan to vent the hot air inside the case.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 RAM: 4gb Kingmax DDR2 800mhz Video: Asus GeForce 250GTS 1gb Sound: Asus Xonar.

i have the same processor... but i bought the package where the fan is already included, ie. AMD FAN.... mine runs usually about 30'C and like 35'C under stress...
on my old pc i had to have my entire case open with a big household fan pointing directly at it on high speed...
i dont know that zalman fan, but if its a good and *reccomended* fan for that CPU, your probably going to have to get more airflow in your case somehow... more fans, and more fans....
hope u figure something out

Isnt this in the wrong forum anyway? The hardware forum is more suited to this thread me thinks.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

Hello Jona, have you tried the stock fan?

60 degree under load shouldn't be a problem, thats fine. Modern cpu's shut down at much higher temps, maybe you have a bad cpu.

I have almost the same setup 3200+ with the zalman cooper cooler and it runs at temperture between 28-45 degres, btw the stock cooler is worse than the zalman.
What rpm's is the fan running at?
Is this the temp showing in bios your'e talking about?
Of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most!

Of course what syn means is put more of a dot of thermal paste on as it's a 64 and doesn't have the core exposed.

if nothing else helps, look into how hot your psu(power supply) is getting and how close it is to the cpu. also psu's with an intake fan(esp a 120mm fan) to suck up the heat are the best. i made a change to a cooler psu unit and it dropped my cpu about 10c.

SHIM!
Anyway.. Having had my heat issues recently I figured it to be the PSU giving out too much power. One of the cables leading from the PSU had blown, so I routed everything through the 2 remaining cables. This seemed to pump too much power into everything causing it all to majorly overheat. Since buying a new PSU and a slightly OTT HSF, everything is now running perfectly.
You might want to check that your power is evenly spread through out the system as well as checking the voltage your PSU is giving out.

what motherboard are you using? some report temps wrong. and you only need a grain of rice sized blob of thermal paste in centre of cpu

! Use a credit card/razor blade to apply the paste as the oils in your hand/fibres on a cloth will get stuck on the core. The reason you need to use a very small amount is because when you install the heat sink, you will no doubt push down on the core causing the paste to push outward creating a "heat pocket" at the top of the core (the heat is kept in by the excess of paste around the sides of the core and not in the center).. You guys should also make sure your using "copper protector thingy" (fuck.. I forgot what they're called lol), this will take the weight off your CPU core and stop you from destroying it 
! and a good cooler, none of these passive things
