Re: CPU Temperature question

This is what I have installed:

Intel Pentium D 830 3.0gGHz DT 800FSB Socket 775
Intel D945PVSLKR Socket 775 Motherboard
Intel Original Socket 775 Prescott Cooling Fan
Coolmax ATX 400w PS w/ Silent 120mm Fan Black
Plus drives and one PCI card.

The case is a Cooler Master Cavalier 1 with a 120mm rear fan and 80mm
intake fan.

I did remove everything, reapplied compound again and reinstalled
everything but still the same temperatures. It is all fine while
working but as soon as I install something or work with something like
WinRar (unpacking only so far) the temperature spikes up.

So you say I shouldn't be worried about the PCU "frying" on me?

What can I do since I want to protect my investment?

Thanks,

Your case airflow sounds like it should be fine. You're not the only one having temperature problems with these CPUs:

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=28&threadid=1680299&enterthread=y

You might find some useful informaiton in that thread, and there's mention of the throttlewatch program to see if your CPU is running slower when it gets to those high temperatures. Towards the end of that thread there's mention of difficulty properly mounting the stock heatsink, and that it may take a few attempts and some fiddling during application to get it right.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
