I have a PC Probe installed on the computer I just built and it is always telling me that my CPU is aroud 65 celcius. It says that this temp. is too much. What is the best way to cool off my processor? I am not overclocking my machine or running very large programs.

Make sure you have thermal grease in between your heatsink and cpu...... (artic silver 5 is best)....... Have a good airflow in your case. Usually one in the front of the case to blow air in and one in the back of the case to blow air out. Since you are not overclocking, that should be sufficient. If not, get a better heatsink. Cooler Master makes decent ones cheap, and quiet. But if your like the many overclockers out there, you probably want to get a copper heat sink, made by Zalman. Zalman is one of the best heatsinks out there. Hope this helps!

You need more fans.. Plain and simple. either your CPU fan is not big enough, or you don't have enough case fans to suck the heat out, and the cool in.. If after that you are still running to hot than you can invest in A water cooling system. They run about $100 and up are relatively simple to install and should do the job easily

i have had that difficulty interior the previous with my old pc (the single I only had replaced). The CPU has a fan, which has stopped operating and subsequently, has brought about your gadget to overheat and could reason your computer to end operating. it truly is a secure practices or 'fail secure' function that protects your gadget from any harm or harm. in case you replace the fan (or the CPU altogether), your gadget ought to artwork as a lot as par as earlier.

Remove the stock fan from your CPU and get a Zalman CPU fan. Also use "Arctic Silver" CPU thermal grease when you re-assemble the new fan to your CPU. Make sure that you remove all of the old grease first and you only need a BB sized portion of the thermal grease.

Try reinstalling the CPU with fresh Thermal Paste.

Cut some extra vents in the side. Just dont destroy anything so be careful. I would open up the computer and then do it if I were you.

Make sure you installed the thermal paste correctly and that you have the right fan for it...
