Re: [CGUYS] pentium d 945
I checked all fans, used a shop vac to blow the case out etc. Idle, the two programs report the cpu at 48c. Once I start transcoding, it jumps to 70, CPU activity of course jumps to 95% plus.

Especially if the CPU fan isn't working, or is dirty, or the thermal paste needs replacing, or if the room temp is high. I suppose the giveaway would be if the temp gradually rises after turning on the machine. i.e., if it comes on at 65c, it's likely just a temp sensor calibration problem.

Re: [CGUYS] pentium d 945
I found that page in my searching also..this was one of those pages that was very useful...or not. It seems pretty vague. You could be ok, or you might not be. The temp listed for my class of CPU seems to be near what I'm hitting so...we'll see I suppose. You wouldn't think reporting the temp of a cpu would be so hard to pin down since that is such an important factor in the health of the computer. Thanks, I might just open it up and stick a big fan on it while I transcode.

Note that this page lists case temps, which are lower than reported temps. This gives you even more margin. You can often bring down temps significantly by opening the case and pointing a big fan at the thing. Also consider how much of this you are going to be doing.

This Intel PDF should have the answer.

Re: [CGUYS] pentium d 945
I can't get either cpuz or Everest to show mu cpu temps. What am I doing wrong? I know I've got apps here somewhere that will do it, but it's still early for me. I swear I used to have something that showed cpu temp in my Google Sidebar.? Oh, okay - Speedfan shows 51c 49c now, and says that's hot. But it shows my GPU at 70c and says that's hot too. I'll render a project later and check again, but I can easily imagine pushing these babies up 20 degrees if they were actually being used. Oh and btw - I have one side of my case open and a small 5 desk fan pointed at my junk. Room temp 75f. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
