Thread: overheating athlon x2 939

I have a 2ghz Athlon X2 on socket 939 and today I had 4 reboots due to overheating processor.

In the sudden I mount the volume pot CPU fan for the fan to max and put the safety threshold superheat of 85 ° c in the bios.

A review 85 ° c max it can go or is it too much, I'm back at the threshold of 70 ° c from?

I think the problem come from my micro ATX case (temperature of 38-39 ° C over in the box), I'll be putting an exhaust fan louder.

85 ° C is enough. From memory, the max allowed is 72 ° C.

Check if your CPU heatsink is hot when you have this problem of overheating:
- If yes, it is better ventilated.
- If not: pbm contact between the CPU and the heatsink, see if it has not moved, put the thermal paste properly.

This CPU overclocks is it? Surge?

I actually hit the fan this after noon and they were hot (hard to judge but can be a good 60°c).

I would put a shot tomorrow compressor to remove dust from the fins, and I would look if I still have the thermal paste to put more cleanly. I descend the threshold temperature in the bios as in this case (75°c I think I have a choice between default-70-75 80 and 85).

Otherwise, the CPU is not overclocked or overtensioning. I think I might be buying a fan extraction units for the drinks more potent than the original.

Here I present a CG fan av + 4 HDD, it adds a lot of heat!

Yes it may rise level noise unfortunately but I really need this PC (well like everyone else) since I work on it with a lot of Matlab simulations.

Otherwise if you saw the picture of the cooler, it is impossible to change the fan (90mm) because I think the engine is integrated into the metal body.

Since my account is overdrawn I'd rather look at me looking for a 12cm high volume fan in my old cardboard boxes already lowering the temperature of the box!

Then I'm going to remove my sim mode "compute parallel" because it is fairly straight forward for the process (several processes in parallel) and you should be fine (if not in games like Dead Space 2 Win7 no problem in normal times).

It's weird I had to buy the latest on the evening materiel.net because of my purchase the article was put "more to the catalog," I must be a subscriber to this because I had the same story for a GC.

At the fan will not pass your model but it is true that the 15th was cheap!

Oh it was a long time for a Pentium with a rad and fan all rikiki which hardly warmed, hotter now proc a nuclear pool! Not surprising that the Pentium M and Intel Atom is also popular as a desktop!

Too bad that Mark has not spent a few sleepless nights to make additional tests PWM self, some results (especially for CoolerMaster) would most likely be changed.

Anyway, if this is the beginning of a decent roundup of CPU and GC.

When you replaced the paste did you lie at the heatsink face(where it connects with the CPU). I run a similiar M/B as you and replaced the attach, I restrained the HS confronting and was astounded to see exclusive the outer edges had paste . I reduced the amount of attach on the CPU which gave a whole play remembering.
