murmur1 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I got 20c++ less with stock cooler :| http://i3.aijaa.com/b/00253/9229638.jpg some would say its not installed right but atleast my idle temps are way lower than they were with stock cooler http://i5.aijaa.com/b/00289/9229637.jpg Fans are running @ lvl3 / performance. Any ideas? ty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would try and reseat the pump head making sure to apply new thermal paste. Something isn't quite right there. Load temps are way too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJK Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 First pic is overclocked and second is underclocked?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murmur1 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 ty mr.peanutz94 thermal paste was covering only ~half of the processor :P case closed > http://i9.aijaa.com/b/00594/9230378.jpg and for dougJK, volts/ghz goes down when processor isnt doing anything.

Ah, did not think of that. lulz ::pirate:: Never pay attention to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Willie Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 How do you get that hardware monitor screen and real temp screen? I've clicked on all the tabs etc and can't seem to figure out how to get those screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Willie Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Nevermind, I realized I had to download another program from cpuid.com. Got it but now I'm worried because it shows my SSD drive at 128C!!! That's 242F wow over boiling water temperature. I've got it in a drive cage with a fan pulling air over it. Is that temp dangerous / out of normal range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that temp dangerous / out of normal range? It's got to be off . Also make sure you are using only one monitoring program at a time. Using two or more can also cause strange readings.

Arizona Willie Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm wondering if a temp sensor / controller like this http://********/6tqq2a5] would be a good idea. Well folks, I tried to post a tiny url in here but this paranoid a-hole of a site is so afraid of someone mentioning another product ( which this didn't .. no competition for Corel ) they won't let you past a tiny url in. Anyway it was a picture of a temperature / sensor control that has thermocouples you tape onto the surface of disk drives ( as I understand it ) and it shows their temp and the controller lets you control their speed because you plug the fans into the controller instead of fan places on the motherboard. I'm wondering how these programs get a drive's temperature without having a sensor on / in the drive. =========== Well I just checked into it and it seems there is a built in temp sensor in newer drives that the programs read. I wonder why that cpuid program is so far off. If was 128C it would melt. I tried shutting down the ASUS monitoring program but it still said 128c. < shrug > Guess I just won't worry about it. Must not be possible to get a good temp on SSD drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsec Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 AZ Willie, Temperature sensors in SSDs are not a given, some may have them, many don't. Then there is the issue of how the temperature reading/data is interpreted by SMART (which usually is not smart) or by other software. If the temperature data from your SSD is an actual reading, then CPUID is not interpreting it correctly. I get sane readings from a free program called HWiNFO, given that the temperature reading is real. Another free program, SSD Life, shows SSD temperatures, give that a try. Only one SSD I have reports a real temperature, that changes a bit over time. It shows basically room temperature, although it is a small capacity SSD, larger runs will run warmer, but not much. Another SSD I use has it's temp set to 40C, it never changes, and is just a number programmed into it. Others show nothing, or a garbage value. If your SSD is above 35C, that would be surprising, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Willie Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 parsec, I tried the SSD Life program and it also shows 128C. ChrystalDiskInfo reports temps on all drives except for C where it shows 0c. Since two programs report 128 and one program reprots 0 I'm going to presume this SSD does not have a temp sensor. If it was 128c it would melt. It runs fine so the reported temps have to be wrong. SSD Life also says it has been used for 22 day and I've only had it running for about 14. Perhaps it calculated total hours and divides by the number it figures an average user would use it --- would would not cover a geek like me :) AZ Willie, Temperature sensors in SSDs are not a given, some may have them, many don't.
