Re: CPU Temp Too High on P5LD2 Deluxe



Thanks for the reply, Michael. I'll try disconnecting
the four heatsink connectors and re-seating them.

The CPU is pretty close to the power supply in this
case as well. It's about 1.5 inches below the bottom
of the Antec Neo HE430 power supply. I don't think
that's what's making it too hot because I don't feel
any heat at all coming from the bottom of the power
supply.

The first thing I would check is that the all four of the heat sink connectors are tight, I had this problem the first time with a socket 775 motherboard. Even though it looked tight closer inspection showed that one connector was loose.
The second problem I had was that the CPU was too close to the power supply in the case, less than an inch between them. A lot of heat was being dumped into the power supply and I could feel the heat through the side of the case. A new case with a couple of inches of clearance solved the air flow problem and dropped the temperatures over 20C.
