Overheating P4

[honam1021]

Did you apply thermal paste?

[Officer94]

is that a boxed cpu cooler?

[lelos14]

what program is that??

[09hudsond]

@lelos14 pc activity monitor

[09hudsond]

@lelos14 intel activity monitor

[bobbillgeorge20]

aww i was hoping for an explosion

[juniortore1]

damn, mine runs at room temperature with web browsing (not watching videos) and goes up to 129 degrees Fahrenheit MAXIMUM when I doe the following (transfer large files, edit videos *import-export videos*, play full HD video *1080p 30fps+* and converting videos. BTW I cant overclock on my D845PEBT2 motherboard. Intel, and dell motherboards have no overclocking options so if you want to overclock get a different board that works with the same cpu.

[s8erboii30]

What program are you using to monitor the fan speed and temprature?

[kitsilog]

youre processor is surely fucked up

[unicron245]

download a program called speedfan4.40 it literally lets u control how fast your fans go and monitor cpu temperature and other temps.

[unicron245]

lol my windows pc's fan is always running can someone tell me why cuz it (fan)shuts off for a few mins then starts up again why is that

[Gold171]

well i belive it turns off because it doesnt use the cpu much but when it needs to use the cpu more than usual the fan kickes on because more heat travels through the cpu so the fan cools it down

[unicron245]

@Gold171 i figured out why the fan is always on the internal circuits and stuff have dust on them :P

[hackers09fr]

i have turned on my pc with 18 hours...no overclocking with 1.8GHz and it's still alive!

but don't do it everyday!

usually the processor will explodes at about 85-95C only...WITH FANS...

but without...55C only..,

[stydel311]

what program

[joeldude76]

my dads pc keeps restarting and it will say this pc has recoverd from a seriouse error i click more info and it says tempflow or somthing

[Dark0Lord7]

@joeldude76 overheat. clean the fans, and apply thermal paste to the processor

[joeldude76]

we fixed it the fan clips that hold fan on broke

[Officer94]

buy a better cpu cooler

[kuza261]

get more heatsynch payste and more fans i have 5 highspeed AMD fans on my P4 @ 5GHz O/c get more fans and bigger heatsyncs

[Jmster1]

ttry this apply more thermal paste to the proccesor and bo

ttom of the heatsink

[NOXXism]

Liar! You are running Prime95! You can see a green icon next to the clock.

[tghbenz99]

The green icon is task manager at 100%. I have it set to hide when minimized so it doesn't show up on the taskbar.

[ThisIs2009]

I have this same processor, P4 1.8, in a HP Vectra VL420, keeps shutting off, between 30 minutes and a couple hours of up-time, something is obviously wrong with it :-( sucks!

[2007excalibur2007]

I have a P4 505, overclocked it from 2.66 GHz to 3.00 GHz. Temperature is 78C in idle state, but rises to (more or less) 81C when running CPU-intensive games. And it's still alive. =P

[FrosDOwnz]

75C is hot, 85C+ is dangerous to be running at for long periods of time, 95C is critical and thermal shutdown occurs on most P4s.

It depends what processor you have, but none have ever burned out from being used too much, and overclocking doesn't reduce the life.

Melting would only occur at 250C or more... But permanent damage can be incurred between 95-105C, depending on part quality. Some CPUs can withstand 110C+ just fine, some video cards can even withstand 150C (like Nvidia 6600GT)

[Dark0Lord7]

my p4 ht isn't overclocked, and reaches only 45,5°C, with stock cooling and new thermal paste

[BlkSerialKilla]

try running notepad and paint at the same time, that will make overheat past 93C

[TomaCukor]

intel blows

[FrosDOwnz]

Lmao I have the 3.2 ghz prescott w/ HT and it never gets over 70C even when Oc'd to 4 Ghz. Once I needed to replace the fan because it reached between 90-100C before shutting itself off. At those temps it CAN melt but if it isn't hot for too long then it won't. So far it works error-free with my new motherboard.

[pogodrummer]

i had 93° with the cpu fan on and the heatsink clean

[Madrias357]

And to think I took a Pentium 4 531 up from 3.0 to 3.2 on stock air cooling and barely broke 40C.

[727Hushkits]

AMD's tend to be hotter. i remember having a AMD XP 1.6GHz and some of the plastics onboard i.e. cable ties had melted! I brought that about 7 years ago but the cpu burnt out about a year ago now :(

[ilovecrazystuff11]

Whats the program your using?

[ilovecrazystuff11]

NVM

[BurningOrchid]

Its Intel Desktop Utilities

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

Cuz, my overclocked athlon 2200+ works at 32ºC with air cooling... WTF?!!!

[retrooldschool]

It's a hot day where I live, and I'm worried about mine overheating.

[Jacksparrow123456wwe]

i have a pentium 4 3.00ghz and i can play gta4 tough my cpu goes to 78C when i run the game lol

[TonkatrainHONKHONK]

both my overclocked fx-70s run at about 74 with a custom cooler and are still going strong.

[n01c3m]

clean the heatsink, maybe is blocked with a lot of dust.

[Slovenec10]

try to play GTA 4 on it haha

[cesarsony124]

on the program when i was away and came backi saw the intel active monitor said my system zone 1 was overheating and i was doin notin!!!

[ilovecrazystuff11]

Wow thats even possible XD

well if i have 0.99 ram and can make AMV then anythings possible

[Jazycrapjomama]

if turn the fan off on my heatsink my pentium four gets up past 160f after like 5 minutes

[slaterking1000]

Check ur CPU Heatsink and fan is seat correctly, or even check if the fan is spining fast enough.

[Squirrelsteam]

try taking off the heatsink+fan, cleaning off the thermal paste (lint free cloth+rubbing alcohol,) rubbing in circular motions, then reapplying cpu paste, like artic silver 5, just the size of a small grain of rice, then reapplying the heatsink+fan.

[seansfilms]

he probably overclocked it

[tghbenz99]

The processor was running at the stock speed.

[supaniceguy]

Hook up a liquid cooling system, then overclock that by double

[pavelplotnikov12]

lol my computer is 89 c when its on idk why

[FrosDOwnz]

Damn dude, I have my 3.2 Ghz with HT overclocked to 3.53 (10% OC) and it stays about 40 C normally and sometimes gets as hot as around the mid 60 C's but never got up in the 70's... Although I think I did get to the CPU Slowdown temperature.. but I'm not sure.

[slaterking1000]

Can you get a faulty CPU?

[bikegeekccp]

how did you make it overheat?

[jorgon22]

You think thats bad i had a intel celeron 1.4ghz it ran at an average of 80c i got some software to make the fans run at full speed all the time nothing changed

[pkofiarbo]

The software is called "Intel Active Monitor"

[Jerrycobra]

i thought 60c was bad...

[reatard753]

YEA, BUCKCHERRY!!!

[gloustapimp5668]

wat was that program

[toutubesfriend]

cool Your PC With Vegetable Oil haha

[natetheskate001]

might as well deep fry it at that temp :-) lol

[nopochoclos]

System poorly builded, who build it need a lot of training for do this task ha ha

[tghbenz99]

It is a stock Gateway computer. I can build a better computer than this.

[dacooter]

what is that program you are using?

[jimmy101112000]

I would check the CPU fan inside and make sure its spinning up to speed. Also clean any Dust on the heatsink I seen them after 6 months of use they are just covered with dust. And if that does not cure it. I would remove the heatsink Clean the thermal paste off with alcohol on the cpu and heatsink and reapply with artic silver or thermal paste just enough that the paste contacts the CPU heatspreader and heatsink. I would also change the fan speed in bios to run at full speed all the time.

[ExtraTerrestrials]

maybe u forgot to put a fan on it lol:D hahah

[jay52592]

What software is that?

[tghbenz99]

The software is called "Intel Active Monitor". I think it only works with intel motherboards.

[slaterking1000]

whats it's MHz?

[tghbenz99]

1800MHz

[slaterking1000]

Ur joking

I wud under stand if it was summit like 3600MHz+.

Is it overclocked?

If not mate the processor needs sending back.

[Thevirus1234]

Mine is running Normal on 3.6ghz WITHOUT overclock!

[yomamasfa]

whats the name of that song ?

[tghbenz99]

The song is called Next To You. It is by Buckcherry

[ovaheat64]

I once caught my computer's CPU at 68C IDLE!

[ZombieDecoy]

oops.. I meant to say 'sue' instead of sure...lol

[ZombieDecoy]

So what you're saying is that Windows Media Player is causing your PC to overheat?

I'd sure Microsoft if I were you.

[tghbenz99]

The problem causing it to overheat was that I have a processor intensive visualization installed for Media Player which uses 100% of the processor. Without the visualization it runs normally.

[ZombieDecoy]

Why did you install it? Surely it's not really necessary?

Hope you got it sorted ;)

[Jamfanoman]

what program is that

[tghbenz99]

The program that monitors the temperature is "Intel Active Montor". I think it only works with Intel motherboards.

[EatOoze]

I want my 55 seconds back.

[advancedmicro]

hahahahaha i dont feel sorry at all for the intel.Get an AMD intel sucks

[tghbenz99]

I made it overheat on purpose. It normally maxes out at 57C. AMD SUCKS, my new Core 2 Duo will beat any AMD.

[friendlyfire01]

well what exactly do you have? an AMD 6000 beats a 6600, and the 6000 dropped DRASTICALLY in price as to be EXTREMELY competitive with the 6600. its now possible to find them for far under 200$ so f off with comments that belong in some forum five months ago

[bikegeekccp]

not the Phenom X4

[LukeJK213]

advancedmicro AMD SUCKS BALLS INTEL FTW

[dusthillguy]

Heh heh! Intel rocks! How do you feel about this?
