Thread: CPU/GPU Temps

NVIDIA systemax i7 920 (2) 9800gtx in SLI 12 gig ram


Hey Guys, I was curious what my temps should run at.

While playing CS GO my temps are below. Are these good or bad? I also just redone my thermal compound.

cpu1 79
cpu2 79
cpu3 81
cpu4 80

gpu1 60
gpu2 59

If that's Celsius then it's a bit high. When's the last time you took a can of air to your CPU cooler?

Your GPU temps are very ok. GPU's can go above 100 C and still be run 24/7

Your cpu temps are maybe a tiny bit high, what program did you use to read them and was it the latest version?

As White said just blow your entire case out really well.

the thermal max on that cpu is 100C per real temp gt. If the cpu goes over 90 start worrying. But we've already talked about that.

I cleaned the inside out really well before I got those temps I posted. For whatever reason they are high. At some point 4 gigs of ram stopped working as it's only showing 8 installed now.

I guess I will replace all my fans and see if that helps.

The memory being reported incorrectly is a sign of some bent pins in your Motherboard socket. Sometimes you can straighten the pins out using some jeweler tools and a magnifying glass, but bent pins are NOT good. They can cause all sorts of issues, such as increased temps, poor stability, and even memory problems. If you go to My Computer, right click, and select "Properties", it may say something like:

Installed memory (RAM): 8.0 GB (4.0 GB Usable)

This is an indicator that it is seeing the memory, however, the CPU isn't able to access it, likely due to the bent pins on the motherboard. See the image in this link:

You may or may not have this issue, but signs are pointing to some sort of issue with bent pins causing your problems. The only two solutions are either attempting to fix yourself (or maybe a jeweler with careful hands and tools) or buying a replacement motherboard.

thanks for the reply/help bud. My mother makes jewelry so she has the tools and I will look at it tonight.

EDIT: It also says just 8 installed

If you are overclocking your 920 that would be why you see less ram then you have, if you are overclocking your RAM as well. Don't let your ram speed go over 1333mhz.
