Its Melting, Its Melting

Hello everyone,
I just joined here today, so i can see if i can get this problem fixed. I recently Built a computer. My XP2800 temps are around 60 Idle and 69 under load. At first i thought the hsf was not seated properly but i reseated it and still the same. I am using the stock fan and want to upgrade. Anyone got any suggestions. I was looking at a Volcano 7+ the new Volcano 12 is way to heavy.
Thanks All!!

PS. There are 5 fans in my case so i have pleanty of airflow. Also the speed controller that is included. Is it optional? Could i hook it up to a controller i have on my case?

 

I have the Volcano7+ on the same CPU. Runs 50C on medium speed. Pretty decent cooler.

I'm no electronics expert, but I'd have to say you can most likely hook it up to another controller.

 

agreed with halo you got get that air flow set up right or the fans might as well not be there

also 1 got a volcano 9 and ive wired the speed controller up to my own custom rheobus and it works just fine

 

hello everyone,
Thanks for the help. I have two fans in the front blowing air in, two in the back blowing air out and a fan sucking air away from my video card. There is also the two fans on my psu and of course the stock fan on my cpu. As for wires. I have round cables and half of the wires are covered. It is kinda messy right now. I got my new power supply today. Any way back to the temps. I turned on my winbond hardware doctor and my cpu temp at idel was 24C!!! There is some thing wrong here. The other day they were at 60s idle. Can any one suggest a better monitoring program that will work with my XFX NF2S-ALH Mobo? Thanks for all your help again. I would like to post a screen shoot showing you guys the monitior but i dont know how. If some one could instruct me i could let you guys see it right away. Thanks

See YA

Thanks everyone. I to checked the list and there is no xfx. Check my last post. I got a screen shot of the current monitor i am using. Please tell me what you think.

See YA

 

I use a similar version of that winbond monitor. I do think something is wrong, as your system temps are showing higher than cpu temp...wrong, wrong, wrong. Either the temp probes are jacked or that program is acting up! Try re-installing it. Also you can check you idle temps in the bios. See if they are similar to the temps shown by the winbond program!
