Lowering CPU temp options I want to lower my CPU temp. What are some things yall have done? Ive got 2 fans, but the temp when I play COD4 gets a little high for my comfort (roughly 55 Centigrade). It used to be lower, but with its recent increase, I want to prevent it from hitting the 60's and frying my motherboard. Thanks
Re: Lowering CPU temp options google a program called speedfan. Depending on how your fans are connected they might not be running 100% all the time. Speedfan let's you set the % that they run at.
If that doesn't work you might need a new cpu heatsink and fan.
Re: Lowering CPU temp options thanks! Ill check out speedfan
Edit: After getting the program, my "temp 1" was in the 40's, but then my "core" (e-GeForce 7600 GT) has gone all the way to 77C while running COD4! Will a new fan on the side make a big difference on the graphics card? (its pretty close to the card itself) I guess I will be finding a new fan in any case. Thanks Tenken
Re: Lowering CPU temp options To control the graphics card fan you need a program called Rivatuner. The only thing is if you push your gfx card's fan to 100% it'll probably sound like a lawnmower so if that bothers you ya need to get a new cooler for the gfx card. An extra case fan will help a little but not enough.
Re: Lowering CPU temp options HELL ,,,,Take the Damn thing over to the Kitchen Kurt,,and spray it down with cool tap water,,,from your sink sprayer,,,,It cost far less than those expensive coolers you see at New Egg!!!!

Re: Lowering CPU temp options Actually what I do is on the main tab click the button next to the name of your video card (with the triangle on it) then click low level system setting. There's a Fan tab in which you can set the speed in like 30% increments. You can also have the fan speed up at windows startup.
Re: Lowering CPU temp options Kurt is it really dusty in there if it is i have seen were dust has raised the temp 20Cel.... if its not then i don't know whats wrong with it man???
