CPU Cores overheating

Need advice. My home does not have air conditioning and it actually has a small desk fan shooting air into the case at all times usually. My cores get up to 124-133 degrees Fahrenheit. I have two small fans on the cores I believe pulling out the heat put on them. Just info if possible thanks, as well if this is in the wrong part of the forums forgive me please.
 
Your going to need a bigger/better CPU heatsink. I'd suggest a Scythe Ninja rev.2 plus. The Thermalright Ultra120 and Tuniq Tower are also great (pretty much all even) coolers.
 
If my google-fu is correct, 121 degrees Fahrenheit is only 51 degrees Celsius.

What kind of processor is it? Most processors, 51 Celsius is nothing.

And don't run out and buy a Tuniq 120 for THIS issue, Jesus.
 
133F is 56C, nothing to worry about regardless of processor type. Using the term "cores" I guess you got a dual-core, if that's a C2D the throttling core temperature is normally 85C (Tj).
 
heh, i guess my imperial to metric guesstimation was a bit off...

my bad :eek:
 
Only issue here is I'm a gamer and due to that I play Vanguard and many other high graphic usage of games. The computer will start stretching the rendering if the CPU cores go over a certain degrees. Perhaps the CPU itself might be damaged previous to all these things. Perhaps I do need a new heatsink and a new CPU. But my computer was built and perhaps not to great on airflow or something of that matter. Intel Core2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13 GHz is what I have at the moment for a CPU.
 
I think you have another issue here, not CPU temperature. I highly doubt a temperature of 51 Celsius could cause "stretching" of graphics.

What are you using to monitor temps with? At what point do the temperatures hit the temps they do?
 
I'm using a speedfan program. Its called speedfan and it shows overheating once it hits around those temps
 
Buy a window A/C for the days you really need it. A 100.00 A/C unit from Home Depot will cool a computer room and have a 5yr warranty.

56*C is nothing, I mean, truly nothing, to worry about.

You should look into what temps you GPU is seeing, if you're having graphics problems.

ITs getting to about 54c so...GPU core i mean. Maybe my CPU is jsut burnt out oen day from overheating

From the numbers you've given us, you haven't even come close to overheating your CPU. In fact, I doubt you could even damage your CPU at stock speed and voltage short of pulling the heatsink off while it's chugging along at full load...and even that probably wouldn't kill it.

GPU at 54C is also nothing.

As for your question about Orthos, it's a stability testing utility. Just download it and run it for a few hours. If it doesn't return any errors, your CPU isn't the problem.
 
I get artifacts within games, meaning such as black lines that stretch from characters or in my case from sails and it becomes graphically screwed up. Sometiems it so screwed up I cannot even see whats going on within the game due to the stretched of graphics. What might cause that then?
 
What's your PCI-Express frequency? When I boost it over 120 MHz it starts causing artifacts.

That's all video card.

Sounds like you fried your video card. RMA time :)
 
You can find that in the BIOS. Its most likely under "Advanced Settings" or something like that. Dig around for it. Anyway, if the card, is still under warranty, I would definitely RMA it.
 
I guess that when you don't know how to find it you didn't alter it. So than it's probably bad video card. Anyways you can have a look in BIOS it should be on the same page where you alter FSB. If you can't find even the FSB setting try to change some tuning features which are set to default as automatic(on my asus board this is called AI Tuning with options Automatic/Manual). It should provide you with more options to look at. But, as was said before, if you didn't alter it than you should RMA your card.
 
I had the same thing happen to me in games. I would get weird stretching that looked like triangles being stretched out and artifacts. My issue was a bad video card. You may want to get with the manufacturer for an RMA.
