The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Optimal temperatures for a Pentium D Dual Core 3.0Ghz

Asked by skschandra in Miscellaneous Hardware, Hardware Components, Computer Fans and Cooling

Tags: pentium, d, temperature, core, dual

I suspect my CPU is overheating, as it is currently idling at 75 degrees celcius. When the system is switched on it shows 55 degrees and say in 10 min it shoots upto to 70+ degrees. I've ran the machine with the case off, and even ran the motherboard OUTSIDE the case by lying it on the table, but the core CPU temp still remains the same. The motherboard is an Intel D945GNT.I've have installed a 400W zebtronics smps. Whats strange is the CPU fan which is running at just 2500 rpm and at times terribly at 1000 rpm for few minutes and most of the time it runs at 2500 rpm where as my other desktop P4 2.8 ghz cpu fan runs at 4500 rpm. I have tried on another server smps which is quite costly and strangely the fan speed increased to 3000 rpm, but ironically the cpu temp hovers at 70+ degrees. Mind you this is at the idle state and in the first 10 min of the cpu run. Note : I am checking this temperature in the system BIOS. I am thinking of trying the 2.8 ghz dual core Pentium D but scared abt over heating and replacement of the product. As Mr gary already said in his another review that the thermal bond should be very good and also arctic silver should be applied which iam going to do tommorow and see for any improvement. One more important factor is that the L2 cache shown in the BIOS is just 1 MB instead of 2 MB. What i dont really understand is since there are 2 processors is it 1 *2 = 2MB L2 cache or 2*2 = 4 MB L2 cache. Now after seeing all these things iam confused abt the processor being faulty or the mobo requires a BIOS update which is quite ironical since its a new motherboard. Also mind you i have tried on 945 GPL mobo as well and the temp are shown the same and no difference as such. Remember the heatsink installation is quite good except that as of now for 6 times which cpu has been removed we have not replaced the paste and were using the same paste since we never thought articsiver paste would really matter. As already said i believe thats the only alternative left now...

Note: This is a brand new motherboard with brandnew CPU

Since my requirement is urgent i would appreciate your fastest reply in this regard since i would want to complete this problem by tommorow at any cost.
