asus P5N-t deluxe + core 2 duo E8200 problem

[Setlec]

I got this new pc witha P5N-T deluxe + intel E8200 and 4 GB drr2 800 and a gt 7600GT PCIe. I am running Mandriva free edition 32 bit and my computer is way to slow and having some problems with games and mandriva...

the 1st problem is when i try to play Nexiuz or ET:QW. the symptoms are long wait to see the game loading, too much lag on the frames.

the 2nd problem is while trying to play i get some errors on the command line like "/dev/sda5 ( / directory) no acces"

the 3rd problem is when i try to kill the game... on ps aux i can't find the game PID and generally i try to restart the X but then is show a message that i really don't know where to find in my logs that says /dev/sda5 is not found and i usually have to do a Hard reboot

[deanjo]

Do you have the nvidia binary drivers installed?

[Setlec]

yes i do have the lastest NVIDIA Driver Version: 169.12

[Kano]

Well maybe your hd is dying. Does that happen with another distro too? Also you can try another connector/different cable.

[Aradreth]

I'd suggest checking the cables and the connectors on the motherboard/harddrive because when I had a similar problem it was due to a bent pin on the motherboard (bad connection).

[Setlec]

ok i'll check the cables/connections, i don't think that my HD is dying it has 2 years only. could it be hight temperature of the processor? actually in the bios it is around 66°C, i can't find any info about good temperature of this processor...

[Setlec]

just installed Ksensors and my primary HD have a temperature at 52°C so i'll have to put a HD Cooler on it...

[Aradreth]

core 2 duo's shouldn't be running at 66C when your just sitting in the bios. I'd clean your case and do a good job tiding the cables as it looks like there is a lack of air flow in your case.

edit: if that isn't the problem check the heat sink is making good contact with the processor

[deanjo]

Ya 66 is pretty high for that proc, it might be throttling itself. Make sure your HSF is seated properly.

[Setlec]

What should my Processor temperature at normally?

[Aradreth]

My e6600 never goes above 50 when it's fully loaded yours should be similar. But as a rule of thumb it should be under 60 when 100% load of both cores.

[Setlec]

i don't know how confiable is Ksensors but right now it shows my cpu temperature at 40°C....:confused:

[Max Spain]

I'd definitely check the contact between your heatsink and processor. Also, what kind of cooling are you using? If your hard drive is that hot, your case might not be moving enough air to cool everything.

[Setlec]

well for the Chasis i'm using a Cooler Master Centurion 5 which have a cooler of 90mm in the front, a 120mm cooler to exhaustion, for the Processor i'm using the intel cooler from my boxed processor... with a bit of thermal paste...

[Kano]

You may only use thermal paste when you removed the pad before completely.

[deanjo]

What should my Processor temperature at normally?

With stock HSF ~ 35-40 C idle, ~45-50 C under heavy load.

[Setlec]

You may only use thermal paste when you removed the pad before completely.


what do you call the pad? the grey thing that comes pasted on the heatsink?

[deanjo]

what do you call the pad? the grey thing that comes pasted on the heatsink?

Yes, if your going to use thermal paste that has to be removed from the heatsink first.

[Setlec]

ok then i'll remove it then, i hope that could lower my CPU temperature...

Not sure which is your CPU but lm_sensors to my knowledge is broken with core 2 duo's and kernel 2.6.25 (my temperatures went from ~45 to 60+)

Easiest way to tell which temp is which is to quickly drop into the Bios and check it from there.

Actually I'd go with a CPU based stress test and see which one goes up. But your point reminded me that it's been said the in the bios the temp is 60+ so it's probably temp1.

[Setlec]

what software do you point for stress my pc?

[Aradreth]

cpuburn does the job although I don't recommend you use it when you think your CPU is over heating. Any program that raises the CPU load to ~50% should give a noticeable increase in temperature, but I'd do it after you find out why your CPU is 60+ in the bios.

*cough*Check in the bios*cough*

[Setlec]

lol

*cough*get the same temp in the bios*cough* :p

ROFL

[Setlec]

hmmmm would a bios update might descrease the temperature??? One friend of mine told me that he updated and resolved his thermal problem.


Any thoughs?

[Max Spain]

This XS thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2739922&postcount=3569) could be the answer to your issues. A lot of people have had problems with their on die temp sensors. It is classified as an errata. You can either return it, or ignore it. Also, you might want to try undervolting.

[Setlec]

Ok after contacting Intel they agreed to exchange my Core 2 Duo E8200 by a new one... So i think that thread is Resolved at last...

Many thanks for you, guys!
