I think this temp is too high =/

[Nate-X]

Welp I installed a thermalite sk-6 on the cpu like I was sposed to.. even put on arctic silver 2 as well but I noticed that in the bios.. the part that shows the cpu temp... was reading about 88 degrees farenheit.. and it stayed between 104 and 105 for the rest of the time. Is that too high? Did I put the sk-6 on incorrectly? Is the bios temp sensor that accurate? Thanks.

If those are full load temps they are fine

I'm not even in the operating system yet.. this is a newly built system and just in the bios.. =/

Well, before I had my cpu fan blowing air away from the heat sink.. I read an earlier post.. and switched it around so that it blows on the heat sink. The cpu temperature is now between 96 and 97 degrees farenheit so obviously I stuck the damn fan on the wrong way.. Also It's one of the ystech fans.. and was listed as being able to push more air then the delta.. would I have been better off with the delta or is the no load 96, 97 degrees just fine? I'm thinking about adding another 120mm and 92mm fan as well to add some extra cooling so I would think the temps are going to get lower..

In bios you have a part load on the CPU, like 40% or so

Your Temps are ok I would say, nothing to worry about:D

Add some case cooling and then see, what your T-Bird can do for you...:mad:

Cool thinks.. it's been stable between 95 and 96 degrees in the bios but then again it has both case sides and the top off lol.. I should be getting some additional fans sometime in the next week or so w00t. :)
