CPU Athlon XP 2.2ghz 3200
mobo ASUS A7N8X-E
O/S MS XP Pro SP3
Overheating info via ASUS PC Probe Software
CPU 47C 117F
Mobo 24C 75F
Indoor ambiance 20/22C Outdoors 11C
CPU was normally running at 36/37C
Yesterday went up to 53C. Erratic mouse movements gave indication of problem.
Increased CPU Fan to 4326 rpm and it cooled to the same as before changing the
CPU Antec Compound. ie 47C
The Graphics card has a fan working fine plus two other small fans.
Removed CPU and reset using Antec Reference Silver Compound
CPU Fan 4326 rpm
Chassis Fan 2300/2400
Still 47C
All working well but this increase in temp is worring me.
PSU fine with all voltages correct..only 12mths old 700w
No sign of distortion on capacitors.
All ideas most welcome
TIA
