Heatsinks

Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 5349. It acts like the cpu is overheating and shuts down. Reseated heatsink, and cleaned fan. Same results. Bought new fan and heatsink. Initially ran for three hours, then when I installed updates, it shut down. Monitored CPU heat and usage with "CoreTemp", no...

So my old K50 has been heating up, Im getting it a new fan, but I also got some arctic for the heatsinks on the CPU and GPU. Ive watched plenty of vids and read articles on how to do it. I just want some basics. How much is too much? How much is too little? Whats the proper technique for...

Research tells me that speedfan is basically not to be trusted, but what about HWMonitor? The reading in question is TMPIN1(HWMonitor)/Temp2(Speedfan), which is about 93°C at idle. Best I can tell this is a reading for the northbridge. My board is MSI 785GT-E63. Touch tested all the...

A few months ago, I realized how hot my laptop was getting at full CPU usage (over 80C!) so I cleaned out the heatsink, which was clogged with dust, and the temps dropped to around 50C. Now, I realize the thing is getting hot again, with temperatures in the 70s so I cleaned out the heatsink...

I have had my Sony PCG-7192L Laptop for about a year. All of a sudden, it is turning off within a few minutes of restarting. The process of booting up itself seems slower as well. In my experience, this kind of problem deals with overheating, with maybe a dirty heatsink or a fan that has...

Hi All, hope someone can help me, please. I have a Toshiba L350 with Intel T3200 dual core processor. I was getting overheating (up to 71C) so I stripped it down and cleaned out fan, fins, removed heatsink, cleaned it and processor top with alc and replaced paste, but after all that - it...

Hello, My laptop was running a bit hot, (acer 5535), so i have just applied arctic silver 5 to the CPU, and it is now idling at about 30 degrees so thats all good, however, the heatsink that runs to the CPU also touches the graphics chip. When i removed it, there was a thermal pad on the...

I want to replace the power jack on a Gateway M305CRV but I cannot remove the cover because the heatsink/fan assembly is holding it in place. The heatsink/fan does not seem to be removable as it appear to have 3 screws holding it in place from the bottom of the motherboard which is inaccessible...

I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 which gets to about 80 celsius easily. I opened it up to give it a quick clean, and the heatsink snapped off (I think it's the VGA or Northbridge equivalent heatsink; it's definitely not the CPU cooler). Is there any way to keep it secured onto the motherboard? My...

Is it from the bottom or through the keyboard?

Would it be ok to unlock the cores on a Phenom x2 550 BE and use the stock heatsink. I am going to eventually replace it, but for the time being i am stuck with the stock heatsink. Would it be ok to run it as a quad with the stock heatsink?

Cleaned out my friend's laptop (it was FILLED with dust - the fan would blast on high and NO air would come out of the vent). Just to let you all know, he had the same model laptop I did. I traded him my laptop and just switched teh hard drives as I knew I wouldn't have time to return it to him...

compaq presario 2199us athlon xp 2800mobile 512ddr ram.well i have posted earlier but was wrong in my findings.now the processor looks like it is in great shape but could it be about burnt out is what is causing the extreme heating or could it possibly be something wrong with this copper piping...

I have a Gateway 7325GZ laptop that is chronically overheating and shutting down. I purchased a cooling pad but that doesn't even really help the problem either. I'm pretty sure that both fans are working, but I've been told the heatsink sometimes isn't seated properly and that could be the...

I'm planning on overclocking my t-bird 1333, I just wanted a couple of questions answering. Whats the best way to unlock it ?. Is it worth lapping a GlobalWin CAK4-88T heatsink ?. What should I be aiming to overclocking it to, I was hoping for about 1.6. Is a 300w psu ok for o/c ?. Thanks in...

Well, after frying my 1700+, I just ordered an 1800+. Now a few questions come to mind. Without unlocking the multiplier, what kind of stable OC can I get on an ABIT KG7? My last cpu was OC'd to a 1900+, and my temps were ok on a swiftek heatsink w/ copper base. I have been able to get the FSB...

I want to unlock my XP1600, and the only believable article I could find was the one by VR-Zone, and they do the task by using "CircuitWorks Silver Conductive Grease" to connect the L1 bridges. So my problem is that I live in Denmark, and I can't find any shops that ships this item - can you...
