-=PCTechTalk=- Temperature concerns

Just installed PC Wizard on my new computer and it's showing
all my 
temperature readings in the red. Here they are

Processor- 46C
Core 1 temp. 40C
Core 2 temp 39C
Mainboard 42C

GPU temp 60C
Hard disk 45C

The Asus Probe shows
CPU 42C
Mainboard 46C

I forgot to order the case fan , of course. Is this badly
high? Should I 
turn it off till I get some more cooling?

Jo Ann,
    No need to turn it off until you can get the fan, but
you still need to 
get the fan as soon as possible.  It's difficult to know
which readings to 
trust when they don't match up, so here's some point to
ponder.


The GPU temp concerns me, although it's not yet truly
outrageous, yet. 
Before anything else, take off the side of the tower and
make absolutely 
sure that the video card's fan is spinning.  If it's working
fine, good.  I 
know you have yet to install a case fan, but I'm not sure
whether that's for 
the front or back of the system.  Assuming it's an intake
fan for the front, 
see if there's a place to install another exhaust fan in the
back of the 
case but below the power supply (near the video card &
CPU).  This reading 
is telling us there's too much hot air in that part of the
case that can't 
escape fast enough.

The mainboard reading is often inflated because the probes
are usually 
situated in a place that doesn't enjoy much air flow. 
You'll often find 
them sitting right between two items that give off heat and
prevent air from 
readily circulating around the probe.

For the CPU temp, accept the hotter of the readings as
gospel and you'll be 
better off.  Even if it's not accurate, it'll force you yo
make sure you 
keep the temps reasonable more than a lesser reading.  Also,
Core 1 & 2 are 
both inside the Processor.  Again, take the hottest reading
as the truth, 
even if it's not.

Since the mainboard and CPU readings are nearly the same, my
thinking is 
that this is a case heat issue and not one of a lack of
thermal paste or a 
badly seated CPU.  In other words, the fan will help bring
them down to more 
reasonable levels.  I hope you have plans to pick one (or
more) up from the 
local mom & pop shop soon.  I wouldn't waste the
shipping charges (or the 
time) to get it through the mail.        :O)

Peace,
GMan

GMan,

The GPU fan is spinning.I've taken the side off the case and
that 
brought the all the temps down 3-4 degrees. There are no
case fans yet. 
There's a place in the rear under the power supply where I
intend to 
mount a 120mm. There is a place in the front that looks like
a 60mm. I 
went out yesterday and all I found was a 80mm that doesn't
fit either 
place. I plan to add one in front to pull air in and one in
the rear to 
exhaust the air. This case also has a vent on the side with
a cup like 
thing over it, actually looks like a fan might fit there? We
don't have 
a lot of computer places around here. I may have to order
tonight, 
should have them by tuesday. I can let it sit till then. I'm
still using 
my Dell. As to the differing temps, you know what Confucious
say, "man 
who has one thermometer always knows the temp, one who has
two is never 
sure"   By the
way, silly question here, how do you tell which way to 
face the fans? I can't tell the front from the back.

Jo Ann
I'M curious to know all the readings including voltages as
soon as avalaible
when POWERING UP the first time of the day ,maybe this will
let know if the
readings are ok

Jo Ann,
    Confucious was a highly intelligent man.       :O)

    If you'd like to keep on using the new one (and I
suggest you do to make 
sure everything works under load as advertised before the
return period runs 
out), just prop up a small fan to blow cool air into the
side of the case. 
If there's a lot of dust in that room, get yourself some air
conditioner 
foam, cut it to the size of the fan and mount it on the
intake side of the 
fan.  That will stop most junk from being propelled into
your new baby by 
the fan while still keeping temps reasonable.

    Most fans move air from the side with the label to the
side without. 
Many also have an arrow showing on the side of the
protective fan mount.  If 
neither of these helps, plug it into an available fan port
and turn on the 
PC for a second (press the power button and then immediately
press it again 
and hold it in until the PC turns back off).

    That side vent is supposed to be situated directly over
the CPU's 
exhaust fan.  When you close the case, the CPU fan pulls the
hot air from 
the CPU's heatsink and then pushes it up and out of the case
through that 
tube (there should be VERY little room between the tube and
CPU fan when the 
case is closed, so this doesn't affect any other part of the
system).  If it 
looks like the tube is not lining up well with the CPU's
fan, see if the 
tube is removable.  If it's removable and not lined up well,
remove it, but 
don't install another fan there as it will most likely throw
off the air 
pressure inside the case too much to be of any use.  As it
is, you'll 
already have one intake and two exhaust fans moving a good
amount of air 
when you're done.  Installing a 3rd exhaust on the side will
make the intake 
fan work too hard and you'll burn it out faster than normal.
 If you make it 
a 2nd intake, it'll throw off the entire wind tunnel effect
that a front 
intake/rear exhaust creates.

Peace,
GMan

Can let you know tomorrow evening. Don't have time before I
go to work 
in the morning.

Ok,

Understood, makes sense. Good news, the 80mm fits the front
of the case, 
have installed it. Only cost me a little skin and some bad
language   
Will order the 120mm now. Do you think I should leave it
running day and 
night for the first few days to see if everything is ok? How
do you 
normally test a new one?

Jo Ann,
    Yes, let it run and I'm sorta glad to hear about the
skin and resulting 
language (welcome to the builder's club, my dear!   lol).

    I normally do a "burn-in" test using the
latest benchmark program I have 
available.  Different benchmark apps will stress different
parts of the 
system and can be set to repeat the run as soon as they've
finished the last 
one.  Running it from the time you go to bed until when you
get home from 
work the next day would be a great test of the components of
any system.  If 
you don't have anything like that, at least try out the most
stressful apps 
you have and put them through all of their paces.  And be
sure to test out 
the optical drives and floppy if they're also new.

    Since the front fan is installed, close the case and see
how the temps 
react.  You may get enough air moving to drop them to
reasonable levels 
until the big fan gets there.  If they don't drop much from
where they were, 
go back to the small fan idea from my previous reply.

    Finally, did you have any problems hooking up items like
the front &/or 
back USB ports, Firewire, etc.(that are supported by the
case, of course)?

Peace,
GMan

No problems with the wires and USB.

G Man
My puter temp readings are:
Monitoring Chip : Winbond W83627EHF/EHG
CPU Core : 1.33 V

+5V Voltage : 5.49 V
+12V Voltage : 14.55 V
Power/Aux Fan : 2700 rpm
Processor Temperature : 27.5 °C
Processor Temperature (Core 1) : 33 °C
Processor Temperature (Core 2) : 32 °C
Mainboard Temperature : 28 °C
Power/Aux Temperature : 28.5 °C
 :
GPU Fan : 100%
 :
Hard Disk Temperature Maxtor 6L250R0 : 38 °C

What tdo you thing of the Hard Disk temp at 38  after more
