Was jusst wondering if anyone could point me towards a good program that can monitor my CPU temps, I think its overheating and I just need to be sure that it is before i take the steps to fix it.
It will only show you the temp at the time you view it, but most BIOS offer an option to sound a Warning Beep if a set Temp is exceeded. To view the CPU Temp while Running Windows, use one of the apps I linked to above.
aight I got the first one and this the stuff it is telling me: Model: Intel Core i5 (Lynnfield) Platform: LGA 1156 (Socket H) Frequency: 2608.04 MHz (133.75 x 19.0) Revision: B1 Lithography: 45nm CPUID: 0x106E5 TDP: 95.0 Watts Temperature Readings: Tj. Max: 99 Degrees C Core1: 41 Degrees C Core2: 39 Degrees C Core3: 42 Degrees C Core4: 41 Degrees C
Check if your motherboard comes with a utility. MSI has a tool called ClickBiosII thats links with the bios & you can mod/view details.. They also have a OC Genie tool for overclocking that you can use similar to a gadget which shows temp & cpu freq.. Realtemp & coretemp report the wrong info on some of the newer cpu/chipsets. ie, X79...
Im pretty sure I dont have a MSI motherboard. I also checked to see if those temps were normal, and 35-40 is normal by most standards anything above 45 is getting a lil too hot. So idk whats wrong with it. Makes no sense since when I run the games i play i have 4GB+ Ram left.
Well the outside temp is somewhere around 20-30 Degrees. And at the moment for some reason im running at 50-60 Degrees C. Weird though cuz earlier i was at a steady 40... I just got a new HDD and im currently running 2, My uncle said i should have fans for the HDDs since i got 2 instead of one, so they heat up quicker. When im gaming it depends on what game i am playing because when i play Silkroad Online I run at around 40 Degrees C with 12 clients. But when I play Lord of the Rings Online it spikes up to around 55-60 Degrees, which i just noticed. I think there also might a problem with the hardware because when i restart maybe 30 minutes later i hear a sputtering sound and then it sounds like a fan dies or something.
i asked somewhere else on here what it could be and they said to start with the CPU temps. It started maybe a month or so ago, off and on. Not everytime. The game should be a problem for the GPU, is there a place where i can see the settings for the GPU and maybe change them if they arent where they should be?
Slow down there. Where can I find all of this. Like i said in my first post, or should have if didnt im not that big of a computer buff so I dont know where alot of these things are.
Where do i find the PC Model # and the GPU model # and im running a ATI gfx card if gfx card = GPU. The GPU model number i think is the HD 6850, which i recently just updated i believe.
Its custom, my gfx card model number should be the HD 6850, unless thats something else. Im running windows 7 ultimate.
