Gosh that temperaturew is high!

use HWMonitor

I have a inspiron 530 desktop.
intel core 2 quad 6600 2.4ghz
gpu XFX 9600 gt
A thermaltake power supply 550wats
6GB ram
600gb HD
a windows vista home premium 64bit


My TMPIN0 at the HWMONITOR shows 85C at startup and stays around that even while I'm playing.
I've being like that for about 3 months with no problems at all, I think the program is crazy, tried speedfan also and it shows the same temperature.

How do I make sure it's true?
I play BF2 every day and Crysis also, my system never froze, start up fast and turn off fast.

If true how do I fix it without damaging the airflow in the case?
I clean the case every three months for dust build up, so it's really clean.


I spoke to a dell representative and he said not to worry because they didn't know if the reading on the software were true and it shouldn't be because the system runs great. but still I'm concerned. I'll post a picture of the readings larter.

I appreciate any help.
thanks!
:confused

 

Picture of the HWmonitor

Here is the picture

 

Your CPU cores are good, at 44 to 38C. I am not sure what the TMPIN0 is. I use CoreTemp http://majorgeeks.com/Core_Temp_d5665.html

Software temp monitors can be buggy.

 

thanks here is the picture i got

 

Here is a picture of the speedfan reading

info attached.

 

did the PC already come with those parts you have listed?

Or did you upgrade your self?

 

upgraded myself

 

So what now?

Another picture of another program shows even greater temps!

Really I have no idea what to do...

does anybody have?

 

Have a look on this site it give you temps for CPUs http://www.heatsink-guide.com/content.php?content=maxtemp.shtml

 

well maybe u need to buy a new Power Supply that is at least 650w because with those parts i'm sure you will need a powerful supply. Oh and I suggest you get a new fan for the fron of the case and the back(at least 120mm) if you already have 120mm one then that's ok.

 

I am fairly sure you have a malfunctioning temperature sensor-----your data for the cores is very good----have a look at your MB manual to see where the malfunctioning sensor is located----it should only cause you more concern if it is on one of the MB "bridge" chips----these chips needed to be redesigned and do run quite hot now at higher bus frequencies. Otherwise ignore it----your system is considerably cooler than mine in general.
