my cpu temperature is 60 c and my motherboard temperature is 40 c when I start my computer.what should I do?

Question

hi
I've recently bought a computer . my cpu temperature is 60 c and my motherboard temperature is 40 c when I start my computer . I think this temperature is not normal . it is toooooo high! my CPU normal temperature is 38 c and the max temperature it can handle is 61 c according to http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm .
may room temperature is about 33 c .and I have an " intel E6420 CORE 2 DUO 4M " CPU and an " ASUS P5B " motherboard and a " NX73G256D-RH GIGABYTE VHA " graphic card and and a " 800 OCZ PLATNIUM 102 DUAL RAM " and a green EPS power (530 w and 380 w real ) . what should I do ? is this temperature ok ? if not how can I decrease it ?

Answer 1

im horrible at C to F conversions and way too lazy to look it up, but keep in mind that normal and "acceptable" (for laptops) operating temperature is between 90-105F and isnt considered "dangerous" or "abnormal" until temps reach upwards of 135-140F

How hot is it in your room? It's 33 C in your room (90 something F)? Your room is hotter than my motherboard, you can't expect your motherboard to be cooler than room temperature. Try it at night (and turn A/C on for a bit, or take it to a place with a/c--try to get it near room temp). If your room temps the problem--which at 60 C, I'm not sure it is the only problem!--I guess either you'll have to come up with some serious cash for airconditioning or serious cash for cooling, as at 33 C, I doubt you'll ever have optimal temps. Personally, I don't think I could enjoy a functioning computer at those temps (unless it were a hot cyborg)!

Try cleaning your case and--if you have A/C--placing it near an A/C duct--if possible. What I did is place it on my desk right above an a/c duct, then removed all not-in-use front panels (not DVD-R or fan control panel). Brought my temps down 2 C. If there's not a lot of room for airflow, put a liquid cooler in.
What's your case? How many fans are there? What caused it to jump from 38-60--if not your hot room? Is it always that hot in your room? Can you cool it down?
Is your processor fluctuating in temperature? I wouldn't wait to see if you run 60 on startup and your max is 61! I would try applying some arctic silver--brought my temps down 5-7 C--if you can. It's worth a try to re-apply your thermal compound (if you have any on hand). Remove it with some pure acetone and coffee filters. Scrub both the cpu and the heatsink. Then put a little bit on the heatsink and rub it in, then wipe it off. Then put some on the CPU. Wait until night to test it (at least until your temps drop) or, as I said, somewhere with a/c.

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C

First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

Answer 4

I've got the same mobo, and cpu...your temps are high but you won't damage any thing until it's over 70c...if you've got a stock cooler, junk it and get an after market (which you shouldn't need if your running stock) like the zalman 9xxx, or something else with heat pipes...I bet an extra case fan, which would be the cheapest option would bring your temps down to a normal range...or apply some arctic sliver, therm paste between the stock cooler and the cpu..it should get you -5-8c...maybe more... pretty good for like 10 buck's...

Answer 5

hopefully a even amount of thermal compound was added between the heat sink and cpu. a good cpu fan is helpful to. make sure your case is clean, with all the wires bundled together as not to create any disruptions in the airflow. a case fan should pull air in from the bottom of the front panel and out from the top of the back panel. air circulation is the key there. cool air in, hot air out

Answer 6

Reapply thermal paste/grease to the CPU and make effective that no followers are obstructed or not working. that's extremely severe, you are able to injury the processor at those temps. in case you have wiped clean out the finished case of airborne dirt and dust/debris, and all followers seem to be working, i might suspect that the two there is no thermal paste utilized, or that the heatsink isn't suitable seated or the two.

Answer 7

This seems high. If this is not a new pc, have someone show you how to clean the processor heat sink. Do not do it yourself unless you know what you are doing. I suspect dirt is clogging the heat sink. Perhaps the box is also dirt clogged. Also make sure the cpu fan and the system fan is operating. Finally room temp is a bit high.

If it is a new pc, call the maker.

Answer 8

A good registry cleaner I use is CCleaner. It's a reliable tool to get rid of worms, trojams, malwares and viruses that affect your pc performances. Free download here http://bit.ly/UrAo0c
It's the best choice.
