Thread: Core i7 920 operating at 84 C inactive - Trouble?

I'm building up new PC for my own use and currently I'm in the BIOS menu presently setting up the whole thing up but the issue is that I make out that my microprocessor temperature is rising to almost 84 C. Which very worries me, but I didn't get if that was symbolic of this microprocessor plus I am also trying to buy a new CPU-Cooler.

Please help me to fix this.

One advice I would like to suggest to you, switch off your PC right away!

There is a trouble with the thermal compound or else the setting of the hsf. A microprocessor ought to not go more than 70C when not in use.

Wipe out the processor as well as cooler fan on top of it the thermal compound and after that set a fresh quantity of thermal compound which is comparable to arctic silver 5 reseat the Heat sink fan and switch on the PC to see if the trouble still continuous.

I think I need to eliminate the heatsink (it's inflexibly locked into place), but simply to get an concept of whether or else not belongings are in turn up to this moment, what sort of inactive temp should I get on my screen normally?

Hey, if you think your microprocessor to continue living, I’d shut it off as well as make use of one more PC awaiting its fixed. For me, if my microprocessor goes more than 50C on load, I begin to fret, if it goes more than 60C (On full load) than I obtain scared. IMO 84 is mode to high for idle, either your cooler isn't correctly attack or you didn't apply your thermal paste properly.

Okay for me, I like to go through the Intel as well as AMD on there microprocessor temperature recommendations, which are for each moment are almost 70C for most CPU’s. Even in reality, the CPUs so far to be operating nearly 100c but this will diminish the microprocessor life time by abundance.

Test out the HSU is being properly attached to the microprocessor fan connector on the MoBo. And also check the power connectors of the processor fan.

If that fan is revolving very well and still if you're considering 84C at idle then you have somewhat seriously wrong with the heatsink mount.

The microprocessor is being offered with the thermal paste on the face of the heatsink and I presently separated the HSU as well as the fan and found that the paste had wiped out from the CPU. And checked that even the fan was revolving normally and after that followed the installation suggestions provided by the Intel.

I can't believe how I could have failed such a fairly easy process. Do you think a choice for thermal paste will in fact fix the difficulty? Is it at all feasible that I simply have bad equipment?

However the stock thermal pad won’t offer you such terrible inactive temperatures. If you're making use of the stock of Intel heatsink, and check out the pins at the side of the fan are being totally locked properly. They ought to actually pop out of the motherboard on the rear side. If you are unable to make out the four pins on the other side try to press them once more and you will notice a click sound when they are properly fitted in. And in case if the HSU is not properly fitted there are problems related to the high temperature.

I am extremely thankful for your comments. I will surely check it out and undertake the process as soon as possible. A big thanks to everyone.

Yes I make out I am somewhat overstressing with disturbing in relation to the temperatures but in fact I feel more relaxed when my hardware is functioning more cooler.

Thanks to all its a great post it was very helpful to me.
