right have a montor for motherboard which show,s temps, volts and other hardware probelms

have a bit of a nice problem,

the temp is 57 0c

the +12 is coming in at 13.788 and the 3.3 volt is coming in at 3.34

taken all fan out and clean inside, going to get new processor fan , if its power supply fan then that under warrenty, going to look for loose or dirty connect and check to see if there been cuts in any power leads

so if anyone want to put any ideas then let me know

i add more information soon

i have change the case fans but still get this fault :(
 
The 12+ volt seems a bit too high, and might be the cause of the CPU heat, but i am not sure if the voltage on a PSU has anything too do with heat, unless your overclocking and raising the voltage. Someone else might be able too give a better answer.

At least when your PSU dies, it wont just stop working. You can look foward too some smoke out of the back of the PC...and maybe a bang as well ^_^
 
The 3.3v one is absolutely fine.

The software monitoring may be wrong, i'd say that if you don't have any problems using the computer then it's working as it should do. Double check these voltages with BIOS?
 
also, run a virus scan. as most know, a virus can alter the voltage as someone is trying to fry your cpu or mobo. ;) other then that, as chris mentioned. see if bios will tell you anything, some bios will (mine right now wont :( ). good luck on that. also. like they said, rogram may be corrupt. try a diff one.
 
i have norton internet security which i do updates every day and
i do a scan each night so at least i know i have no virus on my
computer,
a while back i had a new motherboard and power supply
put in my tower. the motherboard is a a7v8x-x , athlon amd xp 2000 palamino
socket a 462 pin Clock Speed: 1333(1500+) – 1.67(2100+) Mhz
Front Side Bus Speed: 133 mhz double data rate.
my memory is pc 2100 256 mb ddr i think it might be power supply or cpu fan or
even maybe the dirty connect between cpu and heatsink + fan,
i think of get a new fan for processor and see if that helps it anyway
will let u know when i have changed it.
 
what make is the power supply?, is that 57'C at idle or full load ? how big is your case?, does it have any fans other than the CPU and power supply?, what is the ambient room temp like?, is it close to a radiator?
 
my case is bigish as its was built for me. i have a fan on cpu, fan with power supply, plus i have two case fans, the case it nowhere near any radiator, as for room temp i don't have heating on much at all, so room temp normal, why i think it may be power supply is then the guy who put my new motherboard in and power supply,i checked at at his shop but we could hear thie funny noise.i.e like a fan, he said he though it was cause it was cold and had been stand in shop for a bit, this noise only sounds when i start computer up then you can hear it. as power supply under warranty, the guy said at shop that he would give me a new ones as he not sure where the noise it coming from. before this happened everything inside the computer tower was fine i had no problems at all. i may as well get a new one and rule it out as the problem.

A common problem is "noisy fans" ... initially you hear the noise when starting-up your PC. The noise will/may usually die away while in use. If not, seek out the fan and replace it. Graphics card fans are particularly prone, noisy CPU fans should be replaced ASAP.

Change your "shop" they're not as good as they think they are.

Temps are another story ... 57c sounds high, however, most "monitoring" software/hardware built onto the MBs are renowned for being inaccurate. If your system is working fine with NO crashing then I would tend to ignore it.

To set your own mind at rest, ask the guys here what they could/would recommend as an alternative HSF (heat-sink-fan) ... I myself have never really bothered with anything more exotic than the "Retail stock HSF" that comes with the CPU. If I buy a CPU with no HSF then I will use an "over-rated" HSF to do the job.

Missing P4's :(

P4s don't have a temp "problem" ... if they start to overheat, they run slower. ;)

:p
 
Thought 65 was their max...

Ryan Smith (smithe) had me fix his computer for a tenner with some AS3 compound, he was hitting upwards of 70 stock, and trying to overclock! Guess it does help if you use thermal compound... and not take off the stock heatsink for "a look"...;)

Mine usually stays at 39, when rooms hot its around 42. Ah just remembered my ants are in the wardrobe

Good Info Mucks and lipiozzywife. hey Chris you mean your freind took of the CPU fan for looks?!
 
thank you everyone who posted replays, just to let you all know its was the processor fan which was causing the problem. Have replaced it with a new one and everything is working normally now,so i closing this thread now.
 
first thing you should ALWAYS check with voltage problems, is the fans
If the fans are sticking or bearings are on way out they drag more voltage
thus making the readings go up

I cant beleive this wasnt suggested first
 
No point in worrying about it until things start to get a little pear shaped.

How many computer users do you reckon check their voltages every ten minutes? i don't...
 
Overheating Problems

Ok Guys, first time I have ever posted so be nice!

I have a massive overtemp problem, or so it seems to me.

I currently just finished building a new box, using the following

Case- Aspire Turbo Case X-Dreamer
OS- XP Pro SP2
Motherboard- Intel D865 Perl
Processor- P4 2.8C (Not sure if its Northwood or Prescot, How do u tell?)
Ram- DDR 3400 Dual channel 512 (2 sticks totaling 512)
Vid card- Visiontek Xtasy 9600
5 case fans - 4 80 mm and 1 120mm
1 3d rocket pro CPU Cooler
Power supply is a 500 watt modular from Ultra

Just using it to write this post the numbers are as follows:

Cpu- 118 F (48C)
System Zone 1- 95F (35C)
System zone 2- 104 F (39C)

+12- 12.125
+5- 5.182
+3.3- 3.334
cpu core- 1.341
cpu i/o- 1.471

I currently have two 80 mm fans in the front of the case pulling air in, one 80 mm fan on the side pulling air out, one 80 mm fan on the top of the case pulling air out, a 120mm fan in the back pulling air out, and I just recently purchased a 3d rocket pro for my cpu, because the stock fan was showing numbers in the mid 80's to over 120F! I installed the rocket and I am still getting numbers in the mid eighties to as high as 125 F! I checked the seating of the rocket three times and its good, checked my thermal paste and it seems to be good also. Replaced all the fasn that seemed to be running slow and its all the same. These numbers temp wise I am getting with the rocket are almost the same as the stock fan, and the reviews i read on the rocket were singing praises to it! I play Halo and EQ2 online and I am consisently gettign overtemp alarms. Any suggestions? I have also tried switching the top and side case fans to pull air in to see if it made a difference, but it didnt, numbers remained the same. Appreciate any help given. Thanks!!
