    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    I am not joking at all I purchased the following items from newegg to try and lower my CPU temp which was at 164 degrees (case open), and with case closed it was nearing 200 degrees fahrenheit. Notice, I already have a nicely rated Zalman aftermarket CPU heatsink, Pentium D 2.8 ghz, ASUS P5LD2...

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    what exactly happens if you dont no what happened to that plastic duct? Cause I removed it due to the heatsink not fitting with it

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    wow thanks for the awesome replies, I am going to look into all of that, when you say duct I hope you don't mean that piece of plastic attached that I took out to install heat sink, but I am going to really look into this and probably choose the "cool that sucker down" option. UPDATE: I have...

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    removed the small amount of dust I had from key areas and ordered some nicer thermal grease, even if it doesn't do too much. Is that not a good enough heat sink, and if I get the intel core 2 is that going to reduce temp. also? Heatsink...

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    ya with case door open its well below 90C, got it down to stable 70C, is that OK or how do i make that even cooler without replacing heatsink, use grease?

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    thanks for the quick replys! Ya have a Zalman copper. It's running 103%, so over full speed, it runs great now. Trouble is case has to be open, so I feel that means I need better intake outake. To me that says case fan is having problems getting circulation. So how should I go...

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    problem almost solved with some expieriments at least it is now identified, CPU runs more than the 100% easily when case is open, when case is closed, heat is dramatically trapped in and basically runs the processor down to 1/3 of full speed in less than 24 hours. So I am assuming I need to...

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    several factors keep me wondering, the heat sink screw on one side was a little loose and I dont think I originally applied the grease on correctly, I am going to reorder more grease and retry the heat sink. UPDATE: alright just opened heatsink, dont have the grease yet, but I did remove lots...

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    thanks for the great post, that was my first time building a pc, so I am learning, I did apply the grease, but come to think of it may have not done near a decent job, if any what grease would be ideal, I like to use newegg and I heard Antec 5 is good? As for the drivers, I have always been...

    CPU Slow and TOO hot

    I have the Pentium D 2.8 ghz intel processor. Since I built the computer 2 years ago, the processor has never really ran as I had expected for a processor as many older single core intel processors run better at 1.8 ghz. Two graphics cards the nvidia 7950 gt ko and the 8800GS have been tested on...

    DX10 Card Now... or Wait?

    If it were me, knowing that I want to play Crysis relatively nicely when it comes out and yet spend less than $300 I would get: eVGA 512-P2-N637-AR GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP KO Superclocked Video Card...

    Yea sure, I have tested this and works with ease and you really have control over where you want the proxy initiated. you actually named the program itself, lol. Surf Anonymous 1.0.1.0 (you can download for free a trial, but only works for about 8 minutes I believe or something like that...
