Heating Problem (I think)
Ok guy,s
I wanted to gather your wisdom on the subject before I spent $40 on a new CPU fan and thermal paste. After a few months of using my fancy new pc that I built last summer, it began to shut down randomly, and more frequently as I used it. I noticed that the more stress it was under the more often it happened. Particularly when I would try to use skype for video chats and to stream video tv shows. I talked to a few friends and one my professors and they all seemed to think it was probably heating. My specs are as follows: My Case (4 fans, clear side, 530W power source included) Newegg.com - RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WB530P Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 530W Modular LED Power Supply - Computer Cases GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM 2 500GB SATA HD Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory 4GB of RAM Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ - Desktop Memory Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops SAMSUNG Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 20X DVD±R DVD Burner - OEM Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 20X DVD±R DVD Burner - CD / DVD Burners MSI R4850-T2D512 Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card Now I figure it's a heating problem becuase I'm just using the stock fan that came with the processors. I also used a monitoring program and it said that all my fans were at 96.9 when I had explorer open and like 90ish when I didn't. So what do you guys think? Should I go ahead and get a better cpu fan? I was planning on buying this: Tuniq TX-2 Cooling Thermal Compound Scythe SCKTN-3000 92mm Sleeve "KATANA3" 3Heat Pipes CPU Cooler - Retail Newegg.com - Scythe SCKTN-3000 92mm Sleeve "KATANA3" 3Heat Pipes CPU Cooler - CPU Fans & Heatsinks How ya doing, buddy? |
Found help and apparently the Radeon 4800 is the source because it overheats alot.
So now I'm downloading the control suite so I can manually max the fan speed There's nowhere I can't reach. |
