My rig cooling problem ?

[mghong]

Hi Guy,

Previous i posted one of my question in wrong topic , will like to see help from you guy .

It is a print screen show of HW monitor .
Fan thread

This is how it look like


Dont know how to improve the air flow ,currently the only airflow in is from HDD cage , and it is being suck out from the top and back of the slot fan.

Replace the stock HSF with something better. The case looks fine, especially with that bottom intake vent (assuming it's open). Two 120mm fans blowing out will certainly draw enough air through that vent.

HWmonitor shows 0C for the CPU which is wrong. Try CoreTemp and see if you can get a valid CPU temp reading. May be it is not that bad? Are you running into heat-related issues/throttling?

Hi Fox,

Based on HWMonitor , it reflect that my CPU and GPU is having temperature > 60 ,i haven't try to overclock it yet .

Here are my CoreTemp

[Captain Ned]

All that says is that Core Temp isn't seeing the sensor data. Are you running as admin while trying to log data? If not, that's a good chunk of the problem.

The picture in your other thread showed the CPU cores showing 0C too. The app is not reading the sensors correctly for some reason.

Just found out from the net, i need to disable some setting on bios to disable the temperature correctly in OS level.

Check out this... New bios for a old folk like me is a challenge lucky we have google..

I would suggest hiding the cables behind the motherboard, as your case suppports it. Also, get a better heatsiing in any case, stock AMD tends to break down really fast (I had three HSFs on three different computers fail within a month).

Is that with the system idle? Seems rather on the hot side if so, though I've got no direct experience of Phenoms. How hot does it get if you run Prime95? If it gets into the high 70s (degC), I'd try refitting the heatsink with some fresh thermal compound applied in a nice, thin layer. If it's still hot after that, then you might want to consider an upgrade to a better heatsink. I'd consider this a must if you're going to try any overclocking. Arctic Cooling and Xigmatek are both decent brands if you're after something not too expensive.

Just hide out 2 USB and 2 Sata cable ..it really messy now at the backpanel...

Now i know exactly what happen after i play around with the BIOS setting , because my CPU is actually a
Phenom II X2 but i on the Core Unlocker and it give me extra core but in HWMonitor it will disappear all my
CPU temperature as above mention except i reset back to default

I also found a article on web about http://www.overclock.net/amd-cpus/535501-official-amd-k10-5-core-cache.html
