asus P5N-t deluxe + core 2 duo E8200 problem

[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.

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

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.

What should my Processor temperature at normally?

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

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...

[Setlec]

small update before removing the pad from the Heatsink... i've installed the LM_sensors 3.0.1

it might be a stupid question but is temp1 my processor?
