my cpu temperature skyrocketing??????

Question

i just checked and my CPU temperature was 135f degrees....now i know that is dangerously high...how can i cool it down....

i even left the side pannel open and had the fan on (while it was off) and the next morning as soon as i turned it on it said 104f degrees....whats going on?

Answer 1

Please state temperatures in Celsius not Fahrenheit. You max out at 57.2 Celsius, that's high but not dangerously so.

Answer 2

There are some possibilities that:



1.) Your temperature monitor is malfunctioning.

2.) If it is right, then you must have a very high end CPU with not enough cooling system.

3.) Your cooling system might not be working properly (i.e. fan rotation is not fast enough)



Solution:

1.) Do it the old-school way: put your hand on the side of your case where the CPU/motherboard is located, and if it feels too warm, then there is a temperature problem, if not, then you have nothing critical to worry about.



2.) If the CPU is actually not that hot, turn off your CPU temperature monitor because it's going to bother you a lot. If you like monitoring it, it's up to you.



3.) If the temp is actually too high and you even put a thermometer right on the CPU and it reads the same thing: option 1: buy a nitro-cooling system since you might have a very high-end CPU; option 2: Buy 1-2 more fans, fabricate your casing (meaning add more holes into it to fit the fans) and add the fans so that there will be enough cooling system, or you can buy another casing that supports more cooling systems.

Answer 3

Your temperature isn't even that high, well the time it was 135f degrees that might be high, but when it was 104f degrees that only 40*C which is still around average for a CPU. You should start worrying about temperature when your CPU hits 65*C or higher. Damage can be done at those temperatures, but not at 40*C, so don't worry if your temp is around there. If you want the temp to go lower you might want to get a Zalmon cpu fan to cool down ur cpu, or a liquid cooling system. You can check your cpu temp in *C with this program:http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php , or you can download the 2009 version.

possibles: a million. the heatsink isn't suited seated on the cpu, inspite of which you think of it extremely is authentic. {btw, did you heavily scrape off the previous thermal paste from the backside of the heatsink?} 2. no longer adequate airflow in the course of the field. without understanding what hardware you put in, we will not wager how plenty airflow you extremely need. suffice to declare that i do no longer build a gaming laptop [even a midgrade one] with under 2 120mm followers, and ideally 3 or 4. psu followers do no longer count selection for this and neither does the cpu heatsink's fan. 3. heatsink in basic terms isn't adequate for the cpu you have offered. one which will stand up to overclocking an i7 cpu is in basic terms approximately $50 -- see comments at Tom's Hardware [on line] or comparable techie website. {insanely loud -- the two that's hitting some thing or the temp administration software is driving it to the max -- because it extremely is going to if cpu temp is over 70.}

Answer 5

I would not recommend opening the side panels it screws up air flow, I guess for a little bit you could do that.



First off clean off dust from fans primarily the heat sink. This is a leading factor in heating. Dust is like a wool blanket in the middle of summer time. What are you using to monitor your temperatures? depending on your CPU if it is an older one, it might have an auto shut off enabled on your BIOS if it goes above X amount of F. So it could have been just an error.

Answer 6

Make sure the computer is in an open space (not in a wooden panel area in a desk), clean out the dust, get another or a new fan, and get an inter cooler. If all else fails get some ice packs wrap them in dry cloths and see if that works. Try closing a few programs maybe it's running over capacity.

Answer 7

i would say your fan isnt keeping the cpu cool .. is the case getting good air flow around it? opening the side panel doesnt help cause it doesnt create a air flow in the case. i would take your fan and get some new heatsink paste and reseat the the fan. make sure the brackets arent broken anywhere.

Answer 8

Was the computer custom built? If it was then I suggest reapplying thermal grease to the CPU and Heatsink since you temps should not be that high. If that does not work then go out and get a better heatsink.



If your computer is not custom built, take it to the place where you bought it so they can check it or go to Geek Squad.

Answer 9

A temp that high would probably fry the CPU and maybe even start melting the inside. Maybe its a(n) malfunction with a temp gauge inside due to that being so intense. If you don't rely on my 1st option, try buying a bigger, external fan to add to keep the CPU from burning to a crisp.

Answer 10

I think you have to change your CPU fan, or ad an additional system fan.

Try to check the Heat sink, if its attached/locked to your Processor tightly.
