what about the cpu fan?

hows that looking

you might need to remove the fan from the heatsink, and clean the fins as dust along the fins can disrupt heat transferral

and some sensors are picked up wrong on speedfan

the only sensor that speed fan picks up wrong is the one that is my Geforce 5900XT's Core temp sensor, and i need to adjust it by 16c

still 70c is hot for idling, or light use, so either your cpu is overvoltaged, the heatsink has become unseated, the grease wasn't applied right in the first place, or the southbridge on the mobo is dieing, as the southbridge is what picks up the temps.

its still probably best to have the cpu hs/fan be looked at by a pro,

and raceprouk. 50c is not a standard temp anymore

the athlonXp 3200, and the latest athlon64s reach up to 60+ on stock cooling

using 3rd party copper or aluminium coolers is much better


heck i dropped my 2000+ 15c by installing a Volcano 11+ down from 49c to 35c
