[rafa]

Hi, Good morning.

my computer has the following parts:

GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UDR3 v2.0
INTEL CORE i7 920
OCZ Gold 2x2gb
MSI R6950
EXT2 CoolerMaster 625W
Thermaltake Soprano RS

specific question:

In the mainboard the CPU TEMP red and green LEDs are ON.

in the bios --- PC Healt Status.
shows:
Current CPU Temperature: 127 C
Current Temperature 44C MCH
Current CPU Fan Speed ​​2250rpm


---- NO OC----
No matter how much time the PC is ON, the 127 C always be there.



OMG! hotter as hell, but no!., actually seems to work normally, no bluescreen, no freeze, no restarts or shutdowns.

the equipment worked normally, at 127 degrees at least should see smoke!

ok, download other apps to check in windows:
AIDA64, Cores normal temperatures
HW Monitor, CPU 127, standard cores
CoreTemp normal

Photos attached.

How much thermo paste did you put on. You only need a bit of paste. If you have to much the heatsink might not touching the the cpu.

Make sure the heatsink is flat onto the CPU. If you are use the heatsink that came with the CPU. You would be best to use the heatsink your friends want to give you.

thanks for your answer.
yes, im using a little point of thermal paste, and then i spread it up the surface.

yes. im already using the "original" heatskin.
I expect that he buy a RL, there gives me the 212.
thanks for responding!

I hate those heatsinks that if you don't have them seated just right the cpu will over heat.

yes, im waiting for the other heatskin ad make some test, at least, with a better cooler, and if still the 127 on temp, i know than i have a good aftermarket cooler. its just a safe state in my mind. , meanwhile use this pc as normally do.
