Hi, all, new here.
I am having a problem I hope you can help solve, if poss. I built a PC with a Asus P5B Deluxe MB, an Intel E6600 Cpu and an Antec Atlas case with two 92mm intakes and an Antec 120mm exhaust. My problem is with temps, mainly with the CPU.
When I first put it all together, with the stock cooler, at idle (Windows Vista Home Prem) it ran in the high 30's-low 40's Cent. I thought that was a little hot, so I installed an Arctic Cooler Frezer 7 Pro, and it lowered things by a couple of degrees C.
I re-installed the Freezer using Arctic Silver5 and their own cleaning solution. I couldn't reinstall it correctly, the clips didn't cooperate (another story). However, I cleaned it again, re-installed stock Intel with AS5 carefully. It went right in OK. My temps showed up at 45-48C. I installed CoreTemp and Asus Probe and all recorded (including bios) within 2C of each other. The MB was and still is running at 29C.
I decided to try and OC anyway. Went into Bios, went to 300 processer frequency (rather mild, about 2.8Ghz) at 5 incremenets at a time and ran Intel TAT and after 5min at 2.8Ghz it went to 69C. I backed it off to stock speeds and still running at 48C plus or minus a degree at idle.
This thing is running way too hot. I don't think it is the install of the HS, I was very careful. I don't get it.
Any suggestions? I will try and install the replacement cooler and see what happens, but I can't believe I can't run cooler than I am right now at idle with the stock cooler.
Thanks,
Mike
