CPU running overly hot.

Re: CPU running overly hot.

updated, still pretty high.

Speedfan still could be a problem according to this post.

PS. Speedfan reporting 6V on the 12V rail seems to indicate speedfan is still buggy either for your chipset, bios, bios settings, motherboard and/or OS.

Try another program as suggested in the link above.

PS. Your BIOS readings are likely correct.

so if im correct the package says it should be running at 42oC but its only running 35oC so its actually running cooler ? am i correct ?

Re: CPU running overly hot.

did you correct the bios settings for 100% fanspeed?

not sure how to do that cant find the setting, having a read through some forums just now, seem to be running alot cooler though. using freeware called Speccy it says my CPU is running between 32-35oC which is alot better than 92oC
