Comment: Hi there. I have a serius problem with my CPU, the temp is running very high at 65-70 C. The fan is pretty low at 2500 rpm, it was the boxed fan that came with the cpu. It hasn't been booted up for more than 5 minutes because I was afraid of damaging the processor. Can anyone tell me if its the fan that has a glitch or something?? Plz help...

Reply: (edit)more info....what mobo? can you adjust the fan speed? how many fans do you have in your case? what's the ambient air temperature in the room? what are you using to get those 65-70 c temps?

Reply: (edit)Well, U just noticed some paper on the CPU and when I removed that, it went down to 53-57C - Still way too hot. My mobo is a MSI - 845PE Max, which is designed for the Northwood processor, I don't see anywhere to adjust the fan speed, but it keeps running between 2300-2500. The system temp is nice around 28C, and the ambient temp is also nice around 25C, I have the case open and an extra fan running in the case at about 4300-4500 rpm. My personal guess is that perhaps my Intel Stock HSF is defect or something...

Reply: (edit)MSI P4 boards read temp from diode, and reads a higher temp. If you are reading the temp from bios or PCAlert4, try install MBM5. The temp will drop to mid 40's idle in Windows with 25C room temperature. The fan rpm 2300-2500 is about right for the all aluminium retail pack stock HSF. If you don't overclock the Intel Stock HSF is more than sufficient.

Reply: (edit)Same problem here, same MSI board. It always runs around 55-6 deg C. I took off CPU heat sink, cleaned applied thermal grease (yes I removed the pad, just to try it), CPU was off for 15 mins, I booted up and immediately went into the BIOS and it read 53 C, and it had only been on 10 seconds! My roomates same computer with same 2.4 GHz B CPU reads 25-30 C under gaming condition. I think its the MSI board... -Steve
