speed fan and everest and reading my CPU at 71 degrees with a zalman cooler... thats very high right? whats going on here?
 
reaplly AS5 and reseat its either not seated right or the not enough/too much AS5
 
holy crap thats one hot running chip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you might wanna do a class test and check that our heatsinks bottom is't convexed in any way, if it is...... just lap it. allso the prosessors IHS might be convexed. and remember to put only a thin layer of ac5 too much will screw up heat transfer between the heatsink and cpu.
by the way, what zalman are you using?

or you can use the dot in the center method if you just can't seem to get it thin enough. (i personally SUCK at spreading it around)
 
if the room is not hot then its a problem, if the room is hot and you played or used your pc for a long time then its normal.
 
well, there was maybe to much thermal grease, but i cleaned that all up and put the dot like the above mentioned link and i screwed down the sink like the instructions say to, and speed fan and everest are saying its 71, this is after being off and just booting up :confused:
 
What did you get under Stock cooling? Take the side panel off?

After you re-installed the TIM... your temperatures are EXACTLY the same? Maybe it's a broken sensor...

i followed the instructions from zalman, and im using the 9500 something LED

thats freaking weard that you have so high temps with that cooler, i have that same cooler currently installed and my temps are usually between 29-39 degrees. you really ought to do the class test. Arcygenical allso might be on to something your mobo sensor might showing false temps
 
class test? and ive tried 2 different programs to check the temp, im gonna check the BIOS right now, i hope its a sensor, hate to ruin this CPU
 
Well if the BIOS is reporting the correct temp... The sensor's fine.

It seems eclipse was right, programs having trouble reading the sensor correctly.
 
ok, 71 degrees would kill that processor, so the software is reporting it wrong.

Now I will say this, sometimes monitoring software needs to be calibrated. I know it did when I had a dfi board... I had to get a special profile for the monitoring software I used.
 
well do u have a over clocking program starting up and running your processor at high volts? what volts are u running right now? just a though had it happen to me
 
well, gigabytes OC program starts up with my computer but i havent used it
EDIT: i just realized that Easy Tune shows my CPU temp at 31c...hmmm id prefer Everest to show the correct temp.. but oh well, thanks everyone for there help!
 
Funny, I read this thread yesterday, received my new SLI-DR today and I'm having the same problem I think. (Ive got a Scythe NInja Plus)

Install everything, boot up and open Smartguardian, and after a short delay the cpu temp, jumps to 71C. I had a 'shut down at 60C' setting, so the computer shut down immediately.

It kinda freaked me out first time, so I went into the BIOS and monitored the cpu temp for a few minutes, it never got above 35C.

I was looking forward to using MBM5, as it wasn't really compatible with my old deluxe, so I open MBM, and the same thing happens, the cpu spikes to 71C and my computer shuts down.

The voltage is like 1.25v and the cpu stock. I renter windows for the 3rd time, and have a look at CoreTemp, and the temperature is fine, and try Systool which is monitoring my cpu temp fine.

I'm probably going a bit off topic here, but its funny how both of our very high temp reading is 71C. .I'm gonna reinstall MBM5 and hope for the best, I think its just a sensor problem with that and Smartguardian so I think its the same with yours?
 
thats really odd, why 71 though? pain in the butt, both Everest and speedfan read it at 70-71 makes me sad that i cant easily monitor all the temps from one program..
