I Have Just Applied Arctic Silver 5 (barton 2500)

i hope so,

anyway its slowly going down i think,

ive been chatting online, surfing, listening to songs, etc. and my CPU is down to 43...

ill keep it on for a few more days, and ill see if it gets better, then ill look towards overclocking it

Do you live in a particully hot place? Has it been epecially hot today because maybe just the air made it hot todaynow that it's nite it's getting colder. :blink:

nope i live in New Zealand.... average temps are anywhere between 16 degrees and 26 degrees during the summer.

its quite cold today.... my computer is under my desk. its pretty cool.... constantly 27-28 degrees for case.

All I can say to help then is just make sure air can get in and out of your case and then just leave it for awhile to see if it cools down. :)

thanks.

currently got 43 degrees.... overclocked....

:)

thats idle, so im hoping itll go down. ill run it thru sum tests 2morow.

@dray_02,

I have told you, those temps aren't right. That motherboard has a known issue about temps. Your actual temps are 10 to 15°C lower than shown (even in BIOS).

I have even PMed you about this. Obviously i'm wasting my time with you so this is the last time I will tell you about this. Why don't you want to listen to someone who has the same board as you?

YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks VB :blink:

i thort i did say i believed you. hmmm :) :) :)

well if that is true then that mean my CPU is running 33-34 degrees idle and about 40-45 100%

phewwww now i can stop worrying about stuffing up my new overclocked barton :)

just to make sure you should feel the heatsync and see if its hot, if it is only kinda warm then the temps are in the 30's, if its really hot its probably above 40.

cheers rossco, ill keep that in mind
