Overheating and Fan problems.

    Hey, after a talk with some friends whilst playing online about the increasing temperatures of their PCs I decided to check out what mine was, so I downloaded speedfan, a programme which I was told would be able to tell me everything to do with what they were talking, though i'm not sure how accurate or believable this programme is.

    now at first glance (from my uneducated perspective atleast) this looks to be completely insane. only one of my fans is moving and one of my the temperatures are extremely high.

    my basic question is, am i entirely screwed? or is there a solution
    sorry if there are some other normalities i haven't upheld in my post, i checked around but there weren't any stickies in this section

    thanks

    HI

    Sometimes its not best to believe just one of these applications as not always do they accuratly pickup the right sensor info and at times it can read as zero of some weird high figure.

    So what I would suggest is to use a few others ( Everest, Next Sensor, and HWMonitor ) to gain a better guage of temp, also enter your BIOS as many have temp sensor readouts these days.


    Also if you fear one of your fans has physically stopped, then if possible check with your eyes if indeed it had.

    thanks for the response, i've downloaded EVEREST and looked at a report from there.

    Temperatures:
    Motherboard 45 °C (113 °F)
    CPU 86 °C (187 °F)
    SAMSUNG SP1634N 36 °C (97 °F)

    Cooling Fans:
    CPU 3668 RPM


    basically the same figures I was getting from speedfan.

    what problems would arise from something like this, i mean recently i've been noticing that streaming speed and graphic performance in games is alot worse, could this be due to the overheating problem?

    Something isn't right here: that's way too hot for cpu, and mine is set to shut down...I'm trying to figure out what it could be...and even those cpu fan speed is much higher than mine...I use pcprobe...but when it gets *crazy* as it has in the past...I first go to *bios* and turn off q-fan, anything that is *controlling* fanspeed, and just let'er rip for a while, at full blast...

    If it's *still* to hot, I do the deal, man, I turn everything off, and take off cpu fan and heatsink--and I try another cpu fan, (I've got a spare) and I particularly make sure I have thermal compound on there, as that turned out to be *part* of my problem...ablout 10degreesC....because of crappy factory goop on there...I'd get some new compound, clean off old, and put paper thin covering on fan side of cpu...

    So I'd be getting on that tho, this is much too hot..and should be shutting down at those temps...which is why I'm wondering if the sensor or something isn't bad...can u *touch* the heatsink? Is it *super* hot...or just "kind of hot?" or "warm?" while in use???

    Anyway, best wishes, I know I've spent more hours than I care to admit dealing w/this very thing....
