I've been a bit conserned with my CPU temps lately. In the past month I've had a lot go on that may have traumatized the system, however. I had a nice idle temp of 28 in Colorado, then after increasing 2000+ ft in elevation my temps started rising slowly...Right now I'm idling around 38 and taking a full load at 47...I realize these temps aren't putting the system in danger, but I'm trying to figure what could have increased my temps as drastically as they have been.
I've gone through reseating the HSF, reapplying AS5 and doing my best to lower ambient temps, none of which seem to have done too much (we'll have to wait the 200 hr break in period that AS5 likes to take to see if that really did much of anything or not). I've noticed that my CPU fan speeds have dropped considerably however. Through BIOS I see that the chassis fan is working at 1068 and the CPU is at 4272...which is the opposit that Everest is reading out at. I'm a bit lost as to what to do, the MoBo is an ASUS K8V-X, running an AMD64x 2800+, I've tried the "cool 'n quiet" feature, but had a buddy suggest against that.
Any ideas would be appreciated, I've just reset the setup default settings and will see if I notice any improvements in the morning..
