Solve : CPU OVERHEAT !!!! ALMOST 90 DEGREES CECIUS?

1.	Solve : CPU OVERHEAT !!!! ALMOST 90 DEGREES CECIUS?
Answer» I recently installed a NEW Q6600 Quad core 2.40 ghz cpu. I was playing crysis and i clocked the temps at almost 90 degrees Celsius. I not sure why, it COULD be fan speed is too slow, it cant be thermal grease because it was a new heatsink and fan module. what could i have done wrong inserting the cpu and heatsink, to cause such high temps>? Quote from: kizza1645 on January 19, 2009, 12:47:55 AM it cant be thermal grease because it was a new heatsink and fan module. How does that preclude the problem being thermal grease?

How does that preclude the problem being thermal grease? because it was already applied.Are you sure that the heatsink's fan is working? How did you DETERMINE the temperature of the CPU?I use 2 programs which read the temp of each core. I have just bought some new grease, which im going to apply instead of the one which already came aplied but still is this too hot anyway?already came applied? what? I thought you said you got a Heatsink/fan combo?Intel stopped pre-applying thermal compound a LONG long time ago...Thermal Compound GuideAre you using the stock cooler and heatsink? I had the same problem not too long ago with a dual core intel that overheated at 90 celcius and i bought a aftermarket heatsink and fan and my problems went away.It has nothing to do with the difference between a stock cooler or an aftermarket model... I run the stock cooler and Calum is still jealous of my temps...ask him.

I recently installed a NEW Q6600 Quad core 2.40 ghz cpu.

I was playing crysis and i clocked the temps at almost 90 degrees Celsius.

I not sure why, it COULD be fan speed is too slow,

it cant be thermal grease because it was a new heatsink and fan module.

what could i have done wrong inserting the cpu and heatsink, to cause such high temps>?
