Strange CPU temp issue...

I've put together a very cheap computer together for my grams, and something's wrong. It shuts itself down often within a minute of being powered up. :mad:

From a cold start, using the BIOS hardware monitor without unavoidable delay, the CPU starts at 85C and slowly works it's way up and up. 85?! What the hell is up with that... It only takes like 10 seconds to get to the hardware monitor.

Yes, the heatsink is installed correctly as it get's quite warm after a few moments.

So should I get the CPU replaced or is this the mobo?

Thanks! :D
 
Nope... I'm using an old AMD rig myself, and this is a socket T processor... :(
 
Sounds like it could be a loose push-pin on one or more corners.


I got the same temps on a few different systems.


I really dislike the whole intel push-pin system. It's great for factory heatsinks but aftermarket heatsinks seem to have some quality issues that cause them to be alot less stable. Cheaper plastic that even looks a bit off if you look closely.

That's my opinion.
 
Yeah, I'm not a fan of this push-pin bs... I guess I'll remount the heatsink for the 10th time. :rolleyes:
 
also, test the side of the heatsink with your finger, if it doesn't feel like a hot-iron then none of the heat is being transfered by the hsf...seems simple but a lot of people overlook it
