Can anyone here comment on a good CPU temp range?
I have an Intel P4 #Ghz CPU running in an ASUS P4P800E Mobo. I have been
running into random BSODS recently and am suspecting 1 of a few things:
1 - Flaky power supply. According to EVEREST the CPU core voltage varies
from 1.36 to 1.42. I also suspect that it might be a bit under powered
because I have a rather large system (2 180Gig IDE HDs, 1 CDR, 1 CDRW and 1
DVDRW). Current PS is 425 watt.
2 - Flaky RAM. I have 2 Gigs of PC3200 (Nanya M2U51264DS8HC3G-5T) in stalled
(2 ranks, 4 banks) but I have run several memory checkers on them and they
seem fine. The memory tester from Microsoft though HATES my system for some
reason and refuses to tell me that I have one good byte of RAM at all. It
says that every bit of my RAM is bad. Go figure.
3 - CPU heat issues. I have always suspected that my CPU might be runnign a
bit hot. EVERTEST says that my CPU temp is goes anywhere form 35c to 44c and
that seems too hot for me. I have a good copper heat sink with a polished
base plate and a good amount of thermal grease. EVEREST also reports that my
CPU fan is running @ 2700RPM. Seems a bit low also but I cannot find a place
to change it in the BIOS.
